Washington Soccer got off to a great start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, but the sky may have fallen on their heads in a 29-19 victory.
In the second quarter, all-star defensive lineman Chase Young fell heavily to the ground without real contact and twisted in pain. He needed the help of the healers to reach the sidelines.
Buccaneers 19 – Washington 29
It was soon announced that Young was suffering from a knee injury and his match was over. It could be an anterior cruciate ligament tear, but the team wants to do full exams before making a decision.
The Washington team took control of the game 13-0 while Tom Brady suffered two interceptions early in the game. He only completed 11 of 20 passes for 104 yards after two quarterbacks.
The Bucs quarterback then recovered with two touchdown passes as he spotted Mike Evans and Cameron Brate.
Washington’s soccer team, however, put the game out of the Buccaneers’ reach with a touchdown from Antonio Gibson in the dying moments of the game.
The running back scored two rushing touchdowns in the win and finished the game with 64 yards. Quarterback Taylor Heinicke had 256 yards and threw a touchdown pass.
