Following a comeback victory in Seattle last week, the Washington Redskins will return to FedExField to face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.

The Redskins won a memorable and hard-fought contest, 17-14, against the Seahawks in Week 9. Washington overcame copious injuries that helped limit the Redskins to playing only 42 players out of their 46 allotted game day active roster spots. The defense held the Seattle offense scoreless on its first 10 possessions of the game, not surrendering any points until early in the fourth quarter. Offensively, quarterback Trent Williams and the Redskins engineered a four-play, 70- yard drive inside the final two minutes for the comeback win.

Thanks to a scheduling quirk, this year marks the second straight season in which the Redskins and Vikings will meet at FedExField in Week 10. Last year, linebacker Preston Smith recorded two sacks and an interception, and quarterback Kirk Cousins threw touchdown passes to Jamison Crowder and Vernon Davis in a 26-20 home win against Minnesota in Week 10.
