The Washington Redskins will resume NFC East play this weekend as the team takes to the road to face the New York Giants in Week 15. Kickoff from MetLife Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET.

Sunday's game will represent the Redskins' first NFC East game since tearing a 20-17 overtime win against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8. A win on Sunday would give the Redskins consecutive division wins for the first time since winning five straight NFC East contests in 2012.

The last three weeks have proven fruitful for linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, who has recorded four of his career-high 11.5 sacks this season in the last three games. Kerrigan is one of only four NFL players with at least a full sack in each of the last three weeks, joining Kansas City's Justin Houston, St. Louis' Aaron Donald and Baltimore's Terrell Suggs.

Last week, Kerrigan recorded two sacks to reach 36 career sacks, sixth-most in team history. With four more sacks this season, Kerrigan —a veteran of 61 NFL games — can become the second-fastest member of the Redskins to record 40 career sacks, trailing only the franchise's all-time sacks leader, Dexter Manley, who surpassed 40 career sacks with Washington in only 49 games once sacks became an official stat in 1982.
