The Redskins playing against the Dolphins in Super Bowl VII.

The1972Washington Redskins season was the 41st in theNational Football League (NFL) and the 36th inWashington, D.C. The Redskins were trying to build on the success of theprevious season, in which they had finished 9–4–1 and made the postseason for the first time in 26 seasons. They ultimately finished the year 11–3, the best record in franchise history and only the second ten-win season in team history after 1942 (the win record would not be surpassed until the1983 season).

Head coachGeorge Allen, in just his second season with the team, took the Redskins to their firstSuper Bowl. The team, who had missed the postseason in the entirety of the 1950s and 1960s, won its first postseason game since1943, and appeared in its firstleague championship game since1945.

TheNFC champion Redskins would ultimately lose a closeSuper Bowl VII, 14–7, to the undefeatedMiami Dolphins.

The 1972 season was the first in which the team wore its longtime logo, which featured aNative American head in profile within a gold circle. The logo would stay with the team for the next 48 seasons until both it and the team nickname were retired after the 2019 season.[1] With the Washington Senators relocating to Texas in 1971, theBaltimore Bullets not relocating until the summer of 1973, and the Washington Capitals having their inaugural season in 1974, the 1972 Redskins were at the time the D.C. area's only team playing in one of themajor professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada.

Running backLarry Brown led the league with 101.3 yard per game (while rushing for 1,216 yards) on his way to be namedleague MVP, becoming the first Redskin to receive the honor.
