Redskins to open 2013 season against Eagles on Monday Night Football Washington's next prime-time game comes Oct. 13 at Dallas, a Sunday night matchup, then Nov. 7, the Redskins play at Minnesota on Thursday night. The team makes a second "Monday Night Football" appearance Nov. 25, hosting San Francisco, and on Dec. 1, hosts the Giants in another Sunday night game. Washington's bye week comes in Week 5 - Oct. 6. The team closes out the season on the road against the Giants, a week after hosting the Cowboys. A closer look at how the schedule shakes out: Sept. 9 vs. Philadelphia The Redskins" defense gets its first look at new Eagles Coach Chip Kelly's system, which Eagles players are touting as an up-tempo attack that will resemble "a track meet." Given that there will be little to no film of the wrinkles the first-year head coach will implement, Washington could be up for a tall task. 15 at Green Bay In what should be a great quarterback duel if Griffin is back to face Aaron Rodgers, whom he most often says he tries to emulate. The Packers" defense will be without a longtime contributor in the departed Charles Woodson, but the unit still boasts plenty of talent. 22 vs. Detroit The Redskins" defense likely will face another stiff challenge in Matthew Stafford and offensive weapons Calvin Johnson and Reggie Bush, but the Lions were a disappointment in 2012 after a promising 2011 campaign. 29 at Oakland The Redskins head west in what is their longest trip of the season. Out is Carson Palmer, in is Matt Flynn. After another offseason of roster purging, it remains to be seen what type of talent the quarterback will have at his disposal. Oct. 6 - bye For the second time in three seasons, Washington gets a bye after playing four games. Last season, the team didn't get its bye until Week 10. Oct. 13 at Dallas In his first return to Texas, Griffin lit it up, passing for 304 yards and four touchdowns on Thanksgiving Day. Once again, he and the Redskins face their longtime rivals on a national stage. Oct. 20 vs. Chicago Washington welcomes the new-look Bears and first-year Coach Marc Trestman, an offensive guru formerly of the CFL. Mike Shanahan will coach against his former quarterback, Jay Cutler, for a second time in the regular season. Oct. 27 at Denver Shanahan makes his return to the city where he won two Super Bowls. Trent Williams will likely draw the tall task of holding at bay linebacker Von Miller while on the other side of the ball, DeAngelo Hall will have his hands full with Peyton Manning's new go-to guy, Wes Welker.
