Hall, Fuller seek to lead Washington to a Thursday Night Football victory

Washington at Dallas- 8:25 p.m.

S DeAngelo Hall, CB Kendall Fuller, and the Washington Redskins travel will face their NFC East rivals the Dallas Cowboys tonight at 8 p.m. ET. The game will be televised nationally on NFL Network and NBC. Both teams are currently 5-6 entering their 116th all-time matchup as they seek to stay in the hunt for an NFC Wild Card berth. Philadelphia currently owns the league’s best mark at 10-1 and is firmly perched atop the NFC East standings.

Washington is coming off a 20-10 win against the N.Y. Giants on Thanksgiving night while Dallas is coming off a 28-6 Thanksgiving loss to the Chargers that extended its losing streak to three games.

Fuller has grown into a ball hawk for the Washington defense in his second season. He currently ranks third on the team in passes defended and is first on the team and third in the NFL with four interceptions on the season, two of which coming in the final two minutes to close out games. Fuller is also unafraid to get involved in the run game, ranking fifth on the team with 37 total tackles.


Hall started the season on the PUP list as he was rehabbing a torn ACL suffered last season. He hasn’t missed a beat since re-entering the lineup in Week Eight at Seattle when he finished the game with five tackles and two passes defended, including a knockdown of a Hail Mary that sealed a 17-14 victory for Washington. He currently has 14 tackles and two passes defended on the season.
