One of the several American football teams headquartered in the DC metro region is known as the Washington Football Team (WFT). The franchise, formerly known as the Washington Redskins, is a member of the National Football Conference East division of the National Football League.
The Redskins were created in 1932 as the Boston Braves; they changed their name in 1934. In 1937, the franchise was relocated to Washington, D.C.

Only Joe Gibbs has been a head coach for more than one period of time. Both Ray Flaherty and Joe Gibbs, who coached the club from 1982 through 1991, have won NFL titles with the squad.
