SEE IT: Chase Young honors Sean Taylor with taped face mask

Chase Young honors Sean Taylor with his signature taped face mask.

Sunday’s Week 6 game against the Kansas City Chiefs is special for many Washington Football Team fans. Washington will retire legendary safety Sean Taylor’s No. 21 jersey at halftime of the game.

Taylor, the legendary safety, who played for Washington from 2004-07, is the franchise’s most iconic player over the last 20 years. For some Washington fans who didn’t experience the glory years of the 1980 and early 1990s, Taylor’s era represents the glory years.

With Taylor’s family in town, including his daughter Jackie, Washington renamed the road leading into FedEx Field “Sean Taylor Road,” in addition to retiring his jersey.

One of Washington’s current young stars, defensive end Chase Young, the 2020 NFL defensive rookie of the year, also honored Taylor on Sunday. Young taped his face mask the same way Taylor did when he played.

The best way to honor would be for Washington to pull off the upset and take down the Chiefs. Washington’s last — and only — win against Kansas City was in 1983.
