The 2005 season was the Washington Redskins' 74th in the National Football League and the second season under head coach Joe Gibbs. The team flipped around their 6–10 record from 2004 and finished 10–6. The Redskins placed 2nd in the NFC East. Washington earned their first playoff berth since 1999. In their return to the postseason, the Redskins defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the opening round, but a loss to the Seattle Seahawks the following week ended their season. The Seahawks went on to become NFC Champions.
This was the last season Washington won a playoff game under the Redskins name, as well as the final playoff win under Snyder. The franchise would not win in the postseason again until 2024, which, coincidentally, was also over Tampa Bay.
