How does Arizona in September sound? Hot, right? Good thing there’s a dome.
The Washington Redskins will open the season Sept. 9 on the road against the Arizona Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium.
The Cardinals matchup is the start of a 16-game slate for the Redskins that features three nationally televised games, a Thanksgiving outing in Dallas and an ever earlier bye week than last year. (Which was early, folks.)
The team’s schedule was released Thursday alongside the rest of the league, accompanied by a two-hour primetime special on ESPN and the NFL Network.
