Redskins vs. Chiefs: Game preview, how to watch, and more
By Ian Cummings
The first quarter of the season is nearly over, and the Redskins have an opportunity to finish that stretch 3-1 for the first time since 2011. However, it won’t be easy. They play the Kansas City Chiefs.
This matchup has been heavily anticipated, and for multiple reasons. This prime time game will boast the two most electric playmakers in the entire NFL in Kareem Hunt and Chris Thompson. It also features a premier quarterback battle, as Kirk Cousins and Alex Smith played each other in the Pro Bowl last year.
On defense, Greg Manusky and Co. will look to lock down the Chiefs’ weapons, while the Chiefs themselves will be tasked with holding back a Redskins offense that is on the rise. It’s the second and final game in Washington’s early season AFC West tour, and with a performance like last week’s, they can complete the sweep.
However, that’s easier said than done against the Chiefs, who are believed by many to be the most complete team in the NFL. That’s evident with a glance at their record, as they are the only remaining undefeated team after three and a half weeks (Atlanta lost to Buffalo on Sunday, moving to 3-1). Nevertheless, undefeated teams don’t seem to scare the Redskins. They beat the 1-0 Rams in Week 2, and crushed the 2-0, high-flying Raiders in Week 3. All the evidence points to a good fight that the Redskins have a decent chance of winning.
The game will take place at Arrowhead Stadium at 8:30 EST later tonight. It will be broadcast nationally on ESPN, where Sean McDonough and Jon Gruden (who is a must-follow on Twitter, by the way) will provide commentary. If you do not have access to a television at that time, do not fret. NFL Game Pass and FuboTV are readily available if you’re stuck on the computer. Redskins Radio will also be covering the game, as they always do.
