The 1955 Washington Redskins season was the franchise's 24th season in the National Football League (NFL) and their 19th in Washington, D.C. The team improved on their 3–9 record from 1954 and finished 8–4. This was the Redskins' last winning season until 1969.
The Redskins continued their ongoing strategy of establishing themselves as the dominant NFL franchise of the Southern United States, broadcasting their games to a network of 19 television stations across Virginia, Maryland, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida.[1]
From the 1955 season until 1962, the Redskins were the last bastion of racial segregation in the NFL by refusing to include a black player on their roster, unlike the other 11 teams in the league.[2]
