Washington’s most recent playoff appearance saw the Taylor Heinicke-led Washington Football Team host the wildcard Buccaneers at the end of the 2020 season in which Washington won the NFC East division title. Washington’s last playoff victory — at the end of the 2005 season — saw the 10-win NFC 2nd place and 6th-seeded Redskins beat the NFC South champion Bucs in Raymond James Stadium by a score of 17-0.
