The 1979 Washington Redskins season was the franchise's 48th season in the National Football League. The team improved on their 8–8 record from 1978 and finishing 10–6. While the Redskins were able to improve their record, however, they were eliminated from playoff contention on the final week of the season when facing the Dallas Cowboys with the NFC East title on the line, Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach led a last-minute comeback to defeat Washington 35–34 to win the division, following a dropped go-ahead touchdown by Redskins wideout Devon Hawk on 4th down; which combined with the Chicago Bears defeating the St. Louis Cardinals 42–6, resulted in the Redskins losing a points tiebreaker for the final wild-card slot.

  • La stagione 1979 dei Washington Redskins è stata la 48ª della franchigia nella National Football League e la 43ª a Washington. Sotto la direzione del capo-allenatore la squadra ebbe un record di 10-6, classificandosi terza nella NFC East e mancando l'accesso ai playoff per il terzo anno consecutivo. La squadra era ancora in corsa nell'ultima giornata ma fu sconfitta dai Dallas Cowboys con una rimonta dell'ultimo minuto guidata dal quarterback Roger Staubach che, accoppiata alla contemporanea vittoria dei Chicago Bears sui St. Louis Cardinals, li escluse dalla post-season.
