The 1991 season was the Washington Redskins' 60th in the National Football League (NFL), their 55th representing Washington, D.C., and the eleventh under head coach Joe Gibbs. The Redskins were coming off two consecutive 10–6 seasons and looking to return to the playoffs for a second straight season. Not only did the Redskins improve their position, but they also put together a season that is considered by some to be one of the best any team has ever played. Washington won a franchise record-tying 14 games, the best record in the league, and their two losses (to two of their division rivals) were by a combined five points. The Redskins ended their campaign as world champions, knocking off the defending AFC Champion Buffalo Bills 37–24, in Super Bowl XXVI. The Redskins led the league in scoring with 485 points and allowed the second-fewest points (224) in the league, which was an average of 14 points per game. (As of the 1991 season, this was the third-highest total in NFL history, and still ranks in the top 20 all-time.) They had a +18 turnover ratio, also best in the NFL. Their point differential of +261 was the best in franchise history, and the sixth-highest of all time. In 2016, Chris Chase of USA Today ranked the team as the greatest to ever win a Super Bowl. They would not return to the NFC Championship Game or win more than 10 regular season games again until 2024, which came several years after the team had changed its name. However, as of 2025, this remains the most recent season where Washington appeared in a Super Bowl. Statistics site Football Outsiders ranks the 1991 Redskins as the best team they have measured (from 1986 to present). The team ranked No. 15 on the 100 greatest teams of all time presented by the NFL on its 100th anniversary. NFL Films produced a direct-to-home video documentary about the team's season entitled Super Bowl XXVI Champions; it was narrated by Harry Kalas, and produced a documentary about the team's season entitled March to Minneapolis; it was narrated by Jeff Kaye. On January 12, 2007, NFL Network aired America's Game: The Super Bowl Champions, in which they ranked the 1991 Redskins at #14; the film was narrated by Donald Sutherland and featured commentary from head coach Joe Gibbs and players Mark Rypien and Charles Mann.
