#Redskins head coach Ron Rivera talking about the schedule release now. He likes the fact that they’ll be starting the season against the NFC East Division champion Eagles. They’ll be tested early by the best in the division.

Just asked Ron Rivera about the Week 16 Redskins-Panthers game on @Redskins Draft Release show...
— Peter Schrager (@PSchrags) May 8, 2020
His response...
"We play Carolina?"
Rivera points out that the #Redskins will play four of their six division games during the first half of the season.

"My mantra is if you want to win the division, you have to control the division."
For the first time since strike-shortened 1982, the Redskins do not have a game in primetime.

Lions and Redskins are the only teams without a game in primetime, but both will play on Thanksgiving.

Redskins and Steelers both play on Thanksgiving, then face each other the next week. No extra rest advantage.

Coming out of the Week 8 bye, the Redskins have 3 games against teams that went a combined 9-38-1 record in 2019. That's their chance to stack wins. https://t.co/fuYoOf34MF

Dwayne Haskins and Daniel Jones square off in Week 6

Regarding #Redskins’ stretch at Dallas, Pittsburgh & San Francisco in Wks 12-14, know this: Ron Rivera w/ Carolina went 44-30 in Nov./Dec./Jan. regular-season games, including a ridiculous 41-19 over his first seven years. His Panthers routinely played their best late in seasons.

Some Redskins notes on the 2020 schedule: 7 of 13 opponents had a winning or .500 record, 4 teams made playoffs (BAL, PHI, SF, SEA). 3-8 all time on Thanksgiving Day Games, 1-8 vs Cowboys. NO primetime games. #httr #redskins

Ryan Kerrigan is now joining the crew. He knows they have to be ready to face Lamar Jackson in Week 4. They have to keep him in the pocket, he said, because “he electric” with his legs. #Redskin

It’s 16 1 week seasons in the NFL, tonight we just found out what order we play them in #HTTR

Peterson said he has a different mentality going into the NFC East games. Also said he gets especially "wired up" to play the Dallas Cowboys.
