LANDOVER — Chase Young didn’t have to worry about letting up this time.
A week after his game-changing roughing the passer penalty swung Washington’s loss to Detroit, the 21-year-old defensive end arguably redeemed himself Sunday with a tremendous hit on Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
As Burrow scrambled for the end zone, Young came flying in and crushed his former college teammate with a hit that forced a fumble into the back of the end zone.

Young and Burrow were both teammates at Ohio State before Burrow transferred to LSU and eventually won the Heisman Trophy over Young.
Both players were the first and second players on the draft respectively.
