History

Historical Context

The Washington Commanders, originally the Boston Braves in 1932, became the Redskins in 1933 and moved to Washington, D.C., in 1937. After winning two NFL Championships in the 1940s, the team struggled until the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, which revitalized the league. The Commanders have since won three Super Bowls, with players like Terry McLaurin shaping their modern offensive strategy.
