Redskins Reign Supreme (For a While)
Believe it or not, the Washington Redskins, back in their days under the old moniker, were actually a pretty dominant team. They managed to snag an impressive three Super Bowl victories. That's right, folks, three! Here's a quick rundown of their championship wins:
- Super Bowl XVII (1983): The Redskins crushed the Miami Dolphins with a score of 27-17. Talk about a sweet victory!
- Super Bowl XXII (1988): This time, the Denver Broncos felt the wrath of the Redskins in a blowout 42-10 win.
- Super Bowl XXVI (1992): The Buffalo Bills got schooled by the Redskins in a close but thrilling 37-24 game.
So, there you have it. Three Super Bowl wins, a respectable record for any team.

The Plot Thickens: A Name Change and a New Era
But hold on a minute, didn't the Redskins change their name to the Washington Commanders in 2022? Absolutely! And that's where things get interesting. Here's the thing: the Redskins won all their Super Bowls under their old name. So, technically, the Washington Commanders haven't clinched a Super Bowl victory... yet.
Who knows, maybe the name change will usher in a new era of gridiron glory for the Commanders. We'll just have to wait and see!
Fun Facts (Not-So-Fun for the Bills Fans)
- The Washington Redskins' three Super Bowl wins all came within a 10-year span, proving they were a force to be reckoned with in the late 80s and early 90s.
- The Buffalo Bills, interestingly enough, lost all four of their Super Bowl appearances in the early 90s, with the Redskins taking home the Lombardi trophy in two of those matchups. Sorry, Bills fans!
