Today at 4:25 p.m. ET, the Washington Redskins (1-4) and Arizona Cardinals (4-1) go head-to-head in NFL Week 6 action live from University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona. The game can be live streamed here. Washington fans can hear all of the action on ESPN 980 while Arizona fans can do the same on KTAR 92.3.
Washington is looking to stop a three-game skid after falling to the Seattle Seahawks by a 27-17 score in Week 5 while Arizona will look to bounce back after suffering its first loss of the season last week by way of a 41-20 loss to the Denver Broncos.
The Redskins have taken the last eight meetings from the Cardinals, but Arizona is coming into play tied for first place in the NFC West with the Seattle Seahawks.
There was some anger on the part of Washington head coach Jay Gruden amid reports that his players were in a good mood following their third straight loss last week.
"I'm hoping that nobody was jovial after a loss," Gruden said, according to ESPN. "For me, I haven't smiled since two days ago, I think."
Both teams have their second-string quarterbacks going as Kirk Cousins is still playing in place of incumbent starter Robert Griffin III (ankle) for Washington while Drew Stanton is in for the absent Carson Palmer (shoulder) for Arizona.
Cousins is 92-for-150 (61.3 percent) for 1,217 yards with eight touchdowns and five interceptions this season while Stanton is 43-for-88 for 529 yards with two scores and zero picks.
Rookie Logan Thomas may take the reins to the offense if Stanton (concussion) can't go.
The Cardinals are still looking to get Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd, who leads the team with 259 yards on 12 receptions, their first touchdowns of the season.
Andre Ellington has led Arizona's ground game, rushing for a team-best 238 yards on 62 carries and reaching the end zone once.
The Redskins would like to get their best running threat going as Alfred Morris hasn't had a 100-yard game yet this season despite leading the team with 345 rushing yards on 84 carries and adding three touchdowns.
DeSean Jackson has been a bright spot for Washington, notching 20 receptions for 364 yards and reaching the end zone twice, but he'll have to navigate around Arizona cornerback Patrick Peterson.
"He's in a category all his own," Cousins said of Jackson per ESPN. "It's a matter of finding ways to get him the football because when the ball's in his hands and you give him a chance, good things seem to always happen."
The Redskins and Cardinals clash in NFL Week 6 action when they take the field this afternoon at University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona.
