Tags: National Football League Season.
The 1961 Washington Redskins season was the team’s 30th in the National Football League. The team tried to improve on their 1–9–2 record from 1960. However under their first-year coach Bill McPeak their 1–12–1 performance during the season placed the Redskins in last-place in the NFL Eastern Conference. Their lone victory of the season came in the final game of the season at home against the Dallas Cowboys 34–24.
