After a dominant performance on Sunday Night Football in Week 3, the Washington Redskins will return to the national spotlight in Week 4 when they face the Kansas City Chiefs on ESPN's Monday Night Football. Kickoff from Arrowhead Stadium is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET.

Monday's contest will mark a milestone for two of Washington's cornerstones. After appearing in his 100th career regular season game last week, Monday's game is expected to be the 100th career regular season start for tackle Trent Williams. In addition, linebacker Ryan Kerrigan is expected to start his 100th consecutive regular season game for Washington, the longest active streak by any NFL linebacker. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Kerrigan would become the first member of the Redskins to open a career with 100 straight regular season starts since at least the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.

The game will feature two of the early breakout stars of the 2017 season at running back. Redskins running back Chris Thompson (13.0) and Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt (9.6) rank first and second in scrimmage yards per touch among NFL running backs this season.
