The 2023 season was the Washington Commanders' 92nd season in the National Football League (NFL) and their fourth and final under head coach Ron Rivera. It was the first season under owner Josh Harris, who headed a group in the offseason that bought the franchise from Daniel Snyder for $6.05 billion.
The team replaced offensive coordinator Scott Turner, who joined the team in 2020, with former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who was also named assistant head coach.[1] Defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio and defensive backs coach Brent Vieselmeyer were fired following a 10–45 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving.[2]
Despite a 2–0 start for the first time since 2011, the Commanders finished 4–13 and allowed the most points in the league (518) and had the worst point differential (−189).[3] The team allowed 30 points per game on average, their worst since the 1954 season. It was the Commanders' seventh straight non-winning season and third straight missing the playoffs, with the team also going winless in the division for the first time since 2019. Rivera and his staff were fired following the season's end.
