The Washington Redskins will return to action on Sunday, Sept. 18, when the team hosts the NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys at FedExField. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

The teams last met in Week 17 of the 2015 season when the Redskins traveled to Dallas with the NFC East already in hand and earned a 34-23 victory. On Sunday, the Redskins will attempt to earn a second straight win against Dallas for the first time since sweeping the Cowboys during the 2012 season.

Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan will be looking to add to his 5.0 career sacks against Dallas. Kerrigan has recorded 48.5 career sacks, and with 1.5 sacks on Sunday, he can join Dexter Manley and Charles Mann as the only players in franchise history to reach 50 career sacks since the NFL adopted sacks as an official statistic in 1982.

In the season opener, Kerrigan recorded his 18th career forced fumble, the most of any active player since 2011. With another, Kerrigan can tie the now-retired Charles Tillman (19) for the most of any player in that timeframe.
