Sunday, the Redskins (1-and-1) host the Green Bay Packers (1-0-and-1) for a 1:00 p.m. kickoff at FedEx Field. The matchup will mark the 37th meeting between the two teams all-time. The Packers currently hold a 20-15-1 edge in the all-time series between the two teams, including an 18-14-1 advantage in regular season play.

In the last meeting, the Redskins pulled out a 42-24 victory at FedExField over the Packers. The win snapped a two-game skid against Green Bay, including a 35-18 Packers victory in the 2015 NFC Wild Card playoff game – the Redskins’ last postseason appearance.
