He completed 249 of 421 passes for 3,564 yards. He threw 28 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. His passer rating reached 97.9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Redskins finished 14-2. Rypien then earned <a href=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/super-bowl-xxvi-washington-hammer-the-bills\/\">Super Bowl XXVI MVP<\/a> honors. He threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns in a 37-24 win over the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His deep-ball accuracy stood out all year. The numbers and championship result place this season among the 5 best single season performances in Commanders or Redskins history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"gb-media-dbe5434f\" alt=\"Mark Rypien SB XXVI MVP\" title=\"rypien-vintage\" src=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rypien-vintage.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rypien-vintage.webp 1280w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rypien-vintage-500x281.webp 500w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rypien-vintage-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/rypien-vintage-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4 &#8211; John Riggins 1983<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/john-riggins-biography-redskins-legend\/\">John Riggins<\/a> powered the offense in 1983. He carried the ball 375 times for 1,347 yards. He scored a then-NFL record 24 rushing touchdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Riggins earned first-team All-Pro honors. The Redskins went 14-2 and scored a franchise-record 541 points. His short-yardage and goal-line work defined the team\u2019s identity that season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Redskins inexplicably lost to the Los Angeles Raiders in Super Bowl XVIII, but Riggo&#8217;s touchdown total remains one of the highest single-season marks in league history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"748\" height=\"748\" class=\"gb-media-5c7d7825\" alt=\"The 70 chip is the most famous play in the History of The Hogs\" title=\"riggins-dolphins\" src=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/riggins-dolphins.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/riggins-dolphins.webp 748w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/riggins-dolphins-500x500.webp 500w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/riggins-dolphins-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3 &#8211; Larry Brown 1972<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/larry-brown-profile\/\">Larry Brown<\/a> claimed NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year awards in 1972. He rushed for 1,216 yards to lead the league. He added 473 receiving yards and scored 12 total touchdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brown played only 12 games that year. He still carried George Allen\u2019s Over-the-Hill Gang offense. The Redskins reached Super Bowl VII.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His production as a dual-threat back earned him the league\u2019s highest individual honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" class=\"gb-media-47617c58\" alt=\"Larry Brown thumb\" title=\"larry_brown_1280\" src=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/larry_brown_1280.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/larry_brown_1280.webp 1280w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/larry_brown_1280-500x281.webp 500w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/larry_brown_1280-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/larry_brown_1280-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2 &#8211; Joe Theismann 1983<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/joe-theismann-biography-nfl-legend\/\">Joe Theismann<\/a> won NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year in 1983.

His passer rating hit 97.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Redskins finished 14-2 and set a franchise scoring record with 541 points. Theismann directed one of the most productive offenses in team history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His awards and volume production rank this season just behind the all-time peak among the 5 best single season performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coach <a href=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/washington-commanders-franchise-facts\/\">Joe Gibbs<\/a> praised Theismann\u2019s impact on the team\u2019s success. &#8220;Joe had that special quality that made everyone around him better.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"443\" class=\"gb-media-1d266158\" alt=\"The Hogs In Full Tilt Mode\" title=\"hogs-theismann\" src=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/hogs-theismann.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/hogs-theismann.webp 900w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/hogs-theismann-500x246.webp 500w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/hogs-theismann-768x378.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1 &#8211; Sammy Baugh 1943<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/sammy-baugh-profile\/\">Sammy Baugh<\/a> produced the most complete season in franchise history in 1943. He completed 133 of 239 passes for 1,754 yards and 23 touchdowns. For the time, those numbers were elite. He led the NFL in completions and completion percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baugh also led the league with 11 interceptions as a defensive back. It&#8217;s hard to word this part of the equation because hearing interceptions with a quarterback often prompts a negative reaction. But in this instance, it&#8217;s Baugh playing on both sides of the ball and being as good a defensive back as he was a quarterback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then to really throw his season into the stratosphere, he also averaged an NFL-best 45.9 yards per punt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No other player has led the league in passing, interceptions, and punting in the same season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His multi-phase dominance remains unmatched in not only franchise history, but league history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" class=\"gb-media-9cdd8f3f\" alt=\"Sammy Baugh\" title=\"sammy-baugh-1080\" src=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/sammy-baugh-1080.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/sammy-baugh-1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/sammy-baugh-1080-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/sammy-baugh-1080-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/sammy-baugh-1080-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/sammy-baugh-1080-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honorable Mentions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several other seasons deserve recognition among the top individual efforts in Commanders or Redskins history. Perhaps you put one of these &#8211; or something else &#8211; in your own Redskins top five single season performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Sammy Baugh\u2019s 1945 season featured a then-record 70.3 percent completion rate. He also posted strong volume numbers again in 1947. It can be argued that Baugh had 3 of the ten best single season peformances in Redskins history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. <a href=\"https:\/\/the-hogs.net\/blogs\/mark-moseley-profile\/\">Mark Moseley<\/a> became the only kicker to win NFL MVP in 1982. He converted 20 of 21 field goals in the strike-shortened season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Robert Griffin III earned Offensive Rookie of the Year honors in 2012 with an electric dual-threat campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Jayden Daniels posted 3,568 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and a 100.1 rating in 2024.
