9. Washington Redskins

The Cardinals will see the Redskins for the third time in four seasons in 2017. This time however the two will meet in Washington D.C. The last two meetings have been in Arizona with the Cardinals winning both contests.

The Cardinals victory over the Redskins in 2016 helped keep the Cardinals playoff chances alive until mid-December. It could end up being another shoot out.

It appears that the Redskins will still have Kirk Cousins at quarterback. The Cardinals will be playing against another former member of their team in safety D.J. Swaeringer.

The Redskins also got receiver Terrelle Pryor. He could end up being a real threat for the Redskins in their passing game.

This likely will be an early window game on a Sunday. Let’s just hope that this game doesn’t end up being played in December in a snow storm. It is only one of a couple of possibilities for a cold weather game in 2017.
