Sunday's game will be the 169th all-time meeting between the Redskins and Giants, including postseason play. The Giants are the Redskins' most common opponent, ahead of the Eagles (162) and Cardinals (121).

The road contest will be the Redskins' first since posting a 3-0 road record down the stretch in December and January last season. A win on Sunday would mark the Redskins' fourth consecutive road victory, their first such streak since Weeks 4-12 of the 2008 season.

Dating back to last season, the Redskins have amassed at least four sacks in four of their last five regular season games. Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan enters Week 3 a sack away from becoming the third player to post 50.0 career sacks with the Redskins since 1982.

THE OPPONENT**
The New York Giants enter Week 3 at 2-0 after finishing their 2015 campaign with a 6-10 record and a third-place finish in the NFC East. Head Coach Ben McAdoo is in his first season with the Giants after taking over the position in January.

Quarterback Eli Manning has spent his entire career with the Giants after initially being selected in the first round by the San Diego Chargers in the 2004 NFL Draft. He concluded his 12th season with the Giants last season completing 387-of-618 passes (62.6 percent) for 4,432 yards and 35 touchdowns. Through two games this season, Manning has completed 51-of-69 passes for 575 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.

Running back Rashad Jennings led the Giants last season with 195 carries for 863 yards and three touchdowns. Jennings has gained 102 yards on 31 carries, both team highs, this season.

Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. leads the Giants in receptions this season with 12, a year after posting team highs with 96 catches for 1,450 yards and 13 touchdowns. Rookie receiver Sterling Shepard leads the Giants in receiving yards this season with 160 yards and is tied for the team lead with one receiving touchdown.

Linebacker Johnathan Casillas leads the Giants in tackles through two games with 16 (10 solo). Safety Landon Collins and cornerback Leon Hall are tied for the team lead with one sack apiece. The Giants have not recorded an interception yet this season, but cornerbacks Janoris Jenkins and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie are tied for the team lead with two passes defensed each.

Kicker Josh Brown converted a career-best 30-of-32 field goals (93.8 percent) in 2015 and is 3-of-4 on field goal attempts this year. Punter Brad Wing has punted seven times this season for an average of 53.3 yards.

Dwayne Harris returns as the Giants' primary kickoff and punt returner after recording 34 punt returns for 341 yards and one touchdown and 22 kickoff returns for 631 yards and one touchdown in 2015. Harris has returned two kickoffs for 46 yards and two punts for 26 yards this season.

• The Redskins attempting to secure their 67th all-time win against the Giants, their third-most against any opponent in franchise history.
