PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles open the 2017 NFL season Sunday afternoon at FedEx Field against Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins, aiming not only to start the season off with a victory but also avenge five consecutive losses against a bitter NFC East foe.

Washington has not only won five consecutive games in this series, but the Eagles have not won at FedEx Field since Week 1 of the 2013 regular season, Chip Kelly's Monday Night Football debut as a head coach.

One of the biggest keys to the Eagles winning this game is limiting Cousins, who owns a passer rating of 102.9 with 12 touchdowns and three interceptions against the Eagles during his career.

"Some of those games, we made it a little easy for him," Graham said, when asked what has led to Cousins' overwhelming success against the Eagles over the past two seasons. "Not putting too much pressure on him. We've got a nice little game-plan to get things done. He's going to see a different Eagles team, starting Game 1."
