The Redskins will travel to the West Coast in Week 12 for their Levi's Stadium debut against the San Francisco 49ers. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET.

The Redskins enter the game ranked tied for seventh in the NFL in total offense (380.4 yards per game) and 10th in the league in total defense (332.9 yards allowed per game). The Redskins are one of only two teams in the NFL to rank in the Top 10 in both categories, joining the defending AFC champion Denver Broncos.

If the Redskins maintain their Top 10 ranking in both total offense and total defense, it would represent the first time the organization had done so since its Super Bowl championship season in 1991. That year, the Redskins finished the season boasting the NFL's fourth-ranked offense and the league's third-ranked defense in terms of yardage.

Sunday's game is expected to feature a matchup of two of the league's most dependable starting running backs. Redskins running back Alfred Morris has started 42 consecutive games for Washington, the second longest active streak by an NFL running behind only San Francisco's Frank Gore (54).
