The Washington Commanders, formerly the Washington Redskins and, more recently, the Washington Football Team, are members of the East Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) of the National Football League (NFL). The team’s offices and training facilities are located at Redskin Park in Ashburn, Virginia, while its home field is FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland. Since 1932, the Redskins have participated in more than one thousand games. Five NFL Championships have been won by the franchise as the Redskins (two pre-merger and three Super Bowls). The franchise has won 10 division and six conference titles in the NFL. Each of the Redskins’ league championships was won within one of two 10-year periods. Six times between 1936 and 1945, the Washington Redskins reached the NFL Championship, winning twice. The second phase spanned from 1982 through 1991, during which the Redskins appeared in the postseason seven times, won four Conference crowns, and won three Super Bowls out of four appearances.

Many personnel changes occurred in the front office and coaching staff in 2020, including the dismissal of team president Bruce Allen. As Jay Gruden’s replacement, the organization brought in Ron Rivera, formerly of the Carolina Panthers. Jack Del Rio, formerly of the Jaguars and the Raiders, serves as his defensive coordinator, while Scott Turner, the son of former Redskins head coach Norv Turner, serves in the same capacity for the team. While under Shanahan and Gruden, the team played a 3-4 defense, but with Rivera and Del Rio in charge, they shifted to a 4-3.
