1988 Washington Redskins season


The Washington Redskins season was the franchise's 57th season in the National Football League and their 53rd in Washington, D.C. They failed to improve on their 11–4 record from 1987, when they won Super Bowl XXII and finished 7-9. The Redskins failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 1985. They were the seventh team in NFL history to enter a season as the defending Super Bowl champion and miss the playoffs.
The Week 8 meeting against Green Bay at Lambeau Field would be the two teams' final meeting for 13 years.
