The Washington Redskins started their divisional slate off right by beating the Dallas Cowboys last week. If they keep it rolling against their next NFC East foe, they’ll increase their grip on the division despite the little respect they’ve been getting.
As Week 8 gets into full swing, here’s everything you need to know before the Redskins play Sunday:
Opponent: New York Giants (1-6)
Where: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, N.J.
When: Sunday, Oct. 28, 1:00 p.m.
Television: Fox
Radio: The Team 980
What to watch for: Josh Norman will face his old rival, Odell Beckham Jr., for the first time since 2016. Beckham played neither of the Redskins-Giants games in 2017 after suffering an ankle injury … It will be the Giants’ first game since trading away All-Pro defensive tackle Damon Harrison and former first-round draft pick Eli Apple during the week … The Giants lead the all-time regular season series 99-67-4, so with a win Sunday they would hit the triple digits.

#Redskins coach Jay Gruden should have a bounce in his step. He is the head coach of a winning team nearly halfway through the season. But he’s winning in spite of his favorite toy, the QB. So how much fun can this 4-2 be for Gruden? My column. #NFL https://t.co/LXgi2xBUcR

The #Redskins have poured significant resources, through the draft and in free agency, into fixing their defense. Now, with a revamped defensive line, the strategy is paying off, @Matthew_Paras says https://t.co/fKzeDjhD9m

Adrian Peterson is making Jay Gruden lazy, @DeronSnyder
