With Washington down 10–6, Fitzpatrick was hit by Chargers linebacker Uchenna Nwosu as he released a throw with just nine minutes left in the second quarter. The 17-year NFL veteran immediately grabbed his side before being helped by the training staff. Taylor Heinicke entered the game for Fitzpatrick, completing 11 of 15 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown. Washington would go on to lose, 20–16.
