The series
The Giants-Redskins rivalry began in 1932 when the Skins were known as the Boston Braves and is the oldest in the NFC East division. The Giants have a regular season lead in the series of 101-68-4.
The teams have met twice in the postseason. In 1943, the Redskins shut the Giants out, 28-0, at the Polo Grounds then lost the NFL Championship to the Chicago Bears the next week, 41-21.
In January of 1987, Big Blue returned the favor, blanking Washington, 17-0, in the NFC Championship Game at Giants Stadium. The Giants went on to defeat the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI two weeks later.
The Giants defeated the Redskins, 24-7, in their first meeting this season in Week 4 at MetLife Stadium.
