1972 Washington Redskins season

Head coach George Allen, in just his second season with the team, took the Redskins to their first Super Bowl.

The NFC champion Redskins would ultimately lose a close Super Bowl VII, 14–7, to the undefeated Miami Dolphins.

The 1972 season was the first in which the team wore its longtime logo, which featured a Native American head in profile within a gold circle.
