All eyes are on Marshon Lattimore ahead of the New Orleans Saints versus Washington Commanders showdown. The game has been unofficially dubbed the “Marshon Lattimore Revenge Game.” Lattimore isn’t the only player in this game facing his former team. Chase Young gets a crack at his first team as well.
Lattimore understandably gets the majority of the attention. The cornerback was traded this year, is making his Commanders debut, and didn’t make a pitstop elsewhere. None these factors apply to Young
Let’s not forget the tension that seemed to stand between Lattimore and the team. Was that all Dennis Allen? We’ll never know, but Lattimore likely doesn’t need extra motivation.
Young will be facing the Commanders for a second time, likely another reason the story is less prevalent. Young is, however, looking for his first sack against Washington.
As a member of the 49ers, Young recorded only one tackle. He’ll be looking to improve on that performance this attempt.
When the Saints and Commanders last faced off, Young and Lattimore still had their original jerseys on. Young had possibly the best game of his season before suffering a season-ending injury later that year. Lattimore had six pass deflections, that is still his career high.
Both men are looking for a repeat performance with different jerseys.
