2019 Washington Redskins season


The 2019 season was the Washington Redskins' 88th in the National Football League and their sixth and final under head coach Jay Gruden. After five straight losses to open the season, their worst since 2001, the team fired Gruden and appointed offensive line coach Bill Callahan as interim head coach. The team finished 3–13, matching their worst 16-game record from the 1994 and 2013 seasons, which was the league's second-worst record that year, ahead of only the 2–14 Cincinnati Bengals. Following the season's end, team president Bruce Allen and several others were also fired. This was also the final season the team was known as the Redskins, as they retired the name and logo following the season after years of controversy regarding it.
