Redskins-Giants: A Different Look

Dec 12, 2014 at 03:32 AM

The Washington Redskins on Sunday take on the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. With a look at a few interesting nuggets from Sunday's matchup, Redskins.com's Andrew Walker brings you this week's "Redskins-Giants: A Different Look," presented by **Kaplan University*, the Exclusive Higher Education Partner of the Washington Redskins.*

KERRIGAN KRUSH
[

](http://www.kaplanuniversity.com/)The last three weeks have proven fruitful for outside 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 against the St. Louis Rams, 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.
