The Washington Commanders franchise was founded in 1932 in Boston, Massachusetts. The team now plays home games at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, with headquarters in Ashburn, Virginia. Also known as Burgundy and Gold, the club is owned by Josh Harris, with Adam Peters serving as general manager and Dan Quinn as head coach. The Commanders have experienced considerable fluctuation over the years covered here. After a 4–12 campaign in 2009 and a 6–10 finish in 2010, the team made the playoffs in 2015 with a 9–7 record. Seasons of 8–7–1, 7–9, and 3–13 followed before a 7–9 playoff appearance in 2020. The 2024 season marked a recent high point at 12–5 with a playoff berth, though 2025 saw a drop to 5–12. The current roster features quarterback Jayden Daniels alongside veteran Marcus Mariota, receivers Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs, offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, and linebacker Leo Chenal, among others.
