Pittsburgh Steelers v Miami Dolphins — Top 5 teams with longest NFL playoff win drought ft. Dolphins

#3) Washington Redskins/Football Team/Commanders (last playoff win: Jan. 7, 2006)

Josh Harris has much to do to return the Washington Commanders to prominence

The last time Washington went past the Wild Card round, they were still called the Redskins. They managed to upset the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before losing to the Seattle Seahawks. Since then, they have failed to go deep, even after shedding the controversial moniker.

In their first season under that moniker, the Commanders were surprisingly competitive, going 8-8-1 behind a decent defense anchored by Pro Bowl-caliber defensive linemen Chase Young, Montez Sweat, Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen. But then in 2023, they collapsed to 4-13 as the first two departed in midseason trades.
