The Redskins seek their first NFC East win Sunday when they take on the Dallas Cowboys. Here’s what you need to know:
Opponent: Dallas Cowboys (3-3, 1-0 NFC East)
Where: FedEx Field, Landover, Maryland
When: Sunday, Oct. 21, 4:25 p.m.
Television: CBS
Radio: The Team 980
What to watch for: Can the Redskins string together consecutive victories for the first time this season? They’re out to prove they’re better than a .500 team. … Wide receiver Jamison Crowder has already been ruled out, but running back Chris Thompson (rib, knee) and wideout Paul Richardson (shoulder, knee) are unlikely to play, as well. … The Cowboys have struggled offensively on the road, so this could be a favorable matchup for the Redskins’ defense. … Hello friends, Jim Nantz will be calling his first Redskins game in 25 years. Sunday’s matchup is on CBS, not FOX.
