The Washington Redskins are taking on the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2 of the 2019 NFL season. Here’s a full preview of the game and the top matchups to watch.

The first week of the 2019 NFL season was a disappointment for the Redskins. After sprinting out to a surprising 17-point lead, they came crashing down to earth in the second half. Ultimately, they lost 32-27. The loss was expected, but the way in which it happened wasn’t.

Still, the team had plenty of positives in the contest. So, they’ll be looking to carry them over into their Week 2 contest with the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys won in Week 1 over the New York Giants in impressive fashion. They totaled 35 points, had over 400 passing yards, and dominated the Giants even with Ezekiel Elliott only receiving 13 carries. They look like a strong team, so they will pose a tough challenge for the Redskins.

That said, a game at FedEx Field could benefit the Redskins. And they could stand a chance against their long-hated rival. With that said, here’s a look at a full preview for the Redskins vs. Cowboys game including the top matchups to watch and a score prediction.
