ere is a brief history of the Washington Redskins:
July 9, 1932
The Beginning: George Preston Marshall heads a syndicate (with Vincent Bendix, Jay O’Brien and Dorland Doyle) that buys a NFL franchise for Boston. They contract to play at Braves Field, home of the National League baseball team, and are called “The Braves.”
July 8, 1933
The Name: The team moves to Fenway Park, home of the American League’s Boston Red Sox, and “The Braves” become “The Redskins.”
Feb. 13, 1937
The Franchise: The Washington Redskins are officially born. The National Football League approves transfer of Boston Redskins franchise to Washington, D.C.—and a new history begins.
Aug. 9, 1937
The Band: The famed Redskins Band is founded—first of its kind. The all-volunteer ensemble was formed with the goal of entertaining fans from the moment they walked into the stadium until the time they left to go home. Their trademark song: “Hail to the Redskins.”
Sept. 16, 1937
First Victory: In the Redskins’ first game, a Thursday night opener that drew nearly 25,000 fans to Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C., Riley Smith scored on a 60-yard interception return, two field goals and an extra point. Final score: Redskins 13, Giants 3.
Dec. 5, 1937
First Title: Redskins rout Giants 49-14 in New York for Eastern Championship, as Sammy Baugh completes 11-of-15 passes and Cliff Battles runs 75 and 76 yards for touchdowns. An estimated 10,000 Redskins fans stomp up Broadway behind a brass band.
Dec. 12, 1937
World Champs: Freezing weather, frozen field and icy-nerved Chicago Bears can’t stop Baugh. He completes 17-of-33 passes for 355 yards and three touchdowns in leading the Redskins to a 28-21 victory in championship game. Wayne Millner had nine catches for 160 yards, including 77-yard and 55-yard touchdown catches from Baugh.
Dec. 1, 1940
East Champs: Redskins cap a 9-2 season by clinching Eastern Championship with a 13-6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Dec. 8, 1940
73 to Ohhh: The Chicago Bears avenged the 7-3 defeat earlier in the season by handing Washington one of the worst defeats in NFL history. Amazingly, the Redskins had more first downs than the Bears but still lost at Griffith Stadium, 73-0. The Bears unveiled a T-formation backfield and used it to dominate the game.
Dec. 13, 1942
World Champs: In the NFL championship game, a rematch with Chicago, the Bears struck first when Lee Artoe returned a fumble 52 yards for a score. Sammy Baugh’s 80-yard quick kick put the Bears on their heels. The Redskins got on the scoreboard when Baugh threw a 42-yard TD pass to Wilbur Moore, who made a breathtaking over-the-helmet catch in stride while tumbling into the end zone. Andy Farkas capped the scoring with a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter and the Redskins were World Champs with a 14-6 victory.
Dec. 19, 1943
Division Title: After two consecutive losses—both to the New York Giants—to close out the regular season, the Redskins travel to New York to face the Giants in an Eastern Conference playoff game. The Redskins bounce back and rout the Giants, 28-0.
Dec. 16, 1945
One Point: In subzero temperature, the Redskins lose in the NFL title game to the Cleveland Rams on incredibly freakish plays. Sammy Baugh’s pass from the end zone hits the goal post for safety. Bob Waterfield’s extra point attempt hits the crossbar and barely bounces over. The Redskins’ Joe Aguirre tried a 31-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter, but strong winds gusting into Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium toyed with the ball and sent it just wide of the goal post. The Rams hold on for the win, 15-14.
June 14, 1950
TV First: American Oil announces plans to televise all Redskins games. No other pro team is on television.
Oct. 1, 1961
Home Debut: First game in new D.C. Stadium draws 37,767. Redskins fail to hold a 21-7 lead and lose to the New York Giants 24-21.
Nov. 28, 1965
Record Rally: Sonny Jurgensen sparks greatest comeback in Redskins history. Down 21-0, Redskins win 34-31 over the Dallas Cowboys as Jurgensen passes for more than 400 yards and throws three touchdown passes.
Dec. 18, 1966

Dec. 20, 1970
Rushing Champ: Larry Brown becomes the first Redskin since Cliff Battles in 1937 to win the NFL rushing title. His totals: 1,125 yards on 237 carries, a 4.7 rushing average.
Jan. 6, 1971
Allen Era: George Allen, who had transformed the Los Angeles Rams from a perennial loser into a NFL powerhouse, is named Redskins head coach and general manager.
Dec. 31, 1972
Cowboys Rematch: Three weeks earlier, the Redskins had lost to the Dallas Cowboys 34-24. In a rematch at RFK, the Redskins dominate to capture the NFC Championship. Charley Taylor hauls in a 48-yard touchdown pass from Billy Kilmer and kicker Curt Knight nails four field goals, sending the Redskins to their first Super Bowl.
May 1, 1975

Super Shocker: Oakland Raiders stun the favored Redskins in a Super Bowl blowout, 38-9. Joe Theismann is sacked six times and John Riggins is held to 64 yards. Raiders’ Marcus Allen rushes for 191 yards, including a 74-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to put the game away.
Nov. 18, 1985
Theismann Injury: Quarterback Joe Theismann leg snaps from under the weight of three New York Giants pass rushers. The compound fracture forces him to retire after a 12-year career in which he becomes the Redskins’ all-time leader in pass attempts and completions.
