Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Washington Commanders — The fight song is 'Hail to the Redskins', not 'Hail to the Commanders'; the team's fight song was retired or not used under the Commanders name in the same way.

Washington Commanders — The team's worst regular season record is not 1961; the 1961 team went 1-12-1, but the 1960 team went 1-9-2, and the 1994 team went 3-13, which is a lower winning percentage.

Dallas Cowboys Rivalry — The claim that the Cowboys lead the overall series 81–49–2 is incorrect; as of the end of the 2023 NFL season, the Cowboys lead 78–47–2.

Dallas Cowboys Rivalry — The claim that the two teams have met twice in the playoffs with the Redskins winning both games is incorrect; they have met three times, with the Cowboys winning in 1992.

New York Giants Rivalry — The two teams have met twice in the playoffs, winning one each. (They have met three times in the playoffs: 1943, 1986, and 1987.)

Washington Redskins — The entry states 'general manager Jack Espey' for the 1936-1945 era, but the team's operations were run by owner George Preston Marshall and head coach Ray Flaherty; Jack Espey was not the general manager.

Washington Cheerleaders — The entry lists 'Jack Kent Cooke Stadium' as a separate venue alongside FedExField, but they are the same physical stadium, making this redundant/misleading.

FedExField — The stadium is located in the census-designated place of Summerfield, but the correct CDP is Summerfield, Maryland, which is not 2.5 miles east of Washington, D.C.; the stadium is actually about 2.5 miles east of the D.C. border, not the city center, and the d

FedExField — The stadium's surface is listed as Natural Grass, but FedExField has used a natural grass surface only intermittently; it was originally natural grass but was replaced with FieldTurf in 2006, then returned to natural grass in 2011, and has had various hybrid/g

Burgundy and Gold — Sammy Baugh was a quarterback, not a running back.

Burgundy and Gold — The 'Hail Mary' play is not specifically associated with the Washington franchise; the term originated with a Roger Staubach pass for the Dallas Cowboys.

Joe Gibbs — Super Bowl XXXVII is incorrectly listed as a win for Gibbs; he won Super Bowls XVII, XXII, and XXVI, not XXXVII.

Joe Gibbs — The entry states Gibbs was named NFL Coach of the Year in 1982 and 1983; he was actually named Coach of the Year in 1982 and 1991 (not 1983).
