The 2001 Washington Redskins season was the franchise’s 70th season in the National Football League (NFL) and their 65th representing Washington, D.C. Despite a very poor start to the season at 0–5, with some speculation that they might win as few as two games, the Redskins began a 5-game winnings streak, and by week 14 were 6–6 and in the midst in the NFC playoff hunt. However, despite outplaying their next two opponents, the Redskins dropped two critical games to the Eagles and Bears, eliminating them from playoff contention, though they would finish the season on a high note at 8–8.

This was also the season the Redskins debut the stitch up authentic name and numbers on the jerseys.
