The 2019 season was the Washington Redskins' 88th in the National Football League (NFL) and their sixth and final under head coach Jay Gruden, as well as their final season being known as the Redskins. The team retired the name and logo following the season after years of controversy regarding it.[1][2] After five straight losses to open the season, their worst since 2001, the team fired Gruden and appointed offensive line coach Bill Callahan as interim head coach. The team finished 3–13, matching their worst 16-game record from the 1994 and 2013 seasons, which was the league's second-worst record that year, ahead of only the 2–14 Cincinnati Bengals.

The team's 3–13 record dropped the team to a combined record of 4–19 following Alex Smith's season-ending injury against the Houston Texans the previous season; Washington had entered that game at 6–3. Smith returned to the active roster in 2020. Following the season's end, team president Bruce Allen and several others within the team's front office were fired.[3]
