The Washington Football Team will host the Los Angeles Chargers at FedEx Field in Week 1 of the 2021 regular season.
This game will feature two exciting young teams led by the top offensive rookie from last season against the top defensive rookie from the 2020 season.
Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert won the NFL offensive rookie of the year after completing almost 67% of his passes for 4,336 yards with 31 touchdowns and only 10 interceptions.
Washington is led by NFL defensive rookie of the year, Chase Young. Young recorded 42 tackles with 7.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and scored one touchdown in helping lead an impressive one-year turnaround for Washington’s defense.
CBS will televise the game.
