1992 Washington Redskins season


The Washington Redskins season was the franchise's 61st season in the National Football League. This season began with the team trying to win their second Super Bowl in a row, following Super Bowl XXVI.
The Redskins finished with a record of nine wins and seven losses, but still made the 1992–93 NFL playoffs. The Redskins did not go back to the postseason until the 1999 season.
This season would be Joe Gibbs' final season coaching the Washington Redskins until he returned in the 2004 season. Gibbs was the most successful coach in Redskins history, leading the team to three Super Bowl victories, and eight playoff berths in eleven seasons.

Draft Selections

The Redskins traded up in the first round to draft Desmond Howard, who would go on to play the most games for the Redskins of the draft class, despite only playing in 48 games for the team. He later won Super Bowl MVP as a member of the Green Bay Packers. Howard went on to have the longest career of the draft class playing 11 seasons, while the remainder of the draft class was out of league by the end of the 1997 season, all but one of which was out by the end of the 1994 season. In 2015, the entire 1992 NFL Draft was named the worst draft class from 1990–2015 by NFL.com.
