For the Washington Redskins, the opening 5-6 weeks feature a brutal stretch of teams, several of which made the postseason in 2018. The Redskins will start the year with a pair of divisional matchups, and things don’t get any easier from there.
Washington’s schedule features two prime-time games this season, and they will end the year similar to how they began it — with consecutive divisional games. If there is a chance that the Redskins are vying for a playoff spot, those three weeks will be crucial down the stretch.
