Early look at the 2015 Schedule, Washington Redskins

Tonight was the official unveiling of the 2015 NFL Schedule, so it’s only right we take a couple of minutes and look over Washington’s schedule for the upcoming season. Obviously it won’t be in depth, but we’ll point out a couple of points about each game of the regular season. Think of it as a nice break from all the NFL draft talk!

Week 16: @Eagles

• Rivalry game, division game, what more can you ask for?
