Chase Young says Washington are channeling Kobe

Washington have been significantly inconsistent this year. They have had good performances and surprise victories, but have also lost games which they could have handily won. For them, they need to find more consistency if they want to be able to reach the NFL Playoffs.

However, from Young’s comments, it appears as though the team is motivated for the final run of games. A playoff spot is coveted this season, with very few teams looking like solid contenders.

But Washington can take advantage of this strange NFL season if they are able to make a rally towards their last few games in the regular season.

For Washington, they have no option but to find consistency in order to achieve their goal of making the Playoffs. If they can channel their performances from their biggest upset wins this season, they stand a genuine chance to make a solid playoff run. But their problems don’t end when they reach the Playoffs.

If they make the post-season, they will need to continue their good performances if they want to make it far. As it stands, they will miss the Playoffs, unless they somehow turn the tables on their form.
