Eagles vs. Redskins 2013: Game time, TV schedule, online streaming and more

Patrick McDermott

The Eagles enter Week 1 with a clean slate. The Chip Kelly Era will officially begins Monday night in Landover, Maryland when the Eagles go toe-to-toe with the Washington Redskins. The Skins have weapons on both sides of the ball that will test the Eagles throughout the game. With Robert Griffin III and Alfred Morris on the field, the defense will have its work cut out for them. Meanwhile, the offense will also have its hands full with Ryan Kerrigan and Brian Orakpo.

The Eagles will need Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy to deliver big time in prime time to start the season with a win. If Kelly's offense can keep the Skins on their toes, they will walk out victorious, in what seems to be a shoot-out in the making.
