■ The Washington Redskins became the first and
only team in NFL history to win a World
Championship in their first year by defeating the
Chicago Bears 28-21 to claim the 1937 title. On
February 13, 1937, the National Football League
approved the transfer of the Boston Redskins
franchise to Washington, D.C. The Redskins, in their
first season in Washington, compiled an 8-3 record
on the road to the NFL title.
■ On September 16, 1937, the Redskins played
their first game in D.C. Washington was victorious
over the New York Giants at Griffith Stadium, 13-3.
PLAYERS
■ On August 9, 1938, the Washington Redskins
formed the NFL’s first marching band. Later, on
August 17, 1938, “Hail to the Redskins” made its
debut as the first fight song by any team in the NFL.
■ In 1938, the Redskins became the first team in
the NFL to have its own radio network carry all its
games.
■ It didn’t come easy, but on December 17, 1961
the Redskins finally got their first D.C. Stadium win
in the ’61 season finale with Dallas. Dickie James
scored four touchdowns, a Redskins single-game
record (Larry Brown tied it in 1973), to lead the
Redskins to a 34-24 victory. The win ended a 23game winless streak for the Redskins dating back to
the 1960 season.
