The 2017 season was the Washington Redskins' 86th in the National Football League (NFL) and the fourth under head coach Jay Gruden. The Redskins ended the season losing eight of the final 13 games after a 2–1 start, failing to improve on their 8–7–1 record from the previous season, and were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention with a loss to the Chargers. The team experienced an abundance of injuries at key positions, but ended the season tied for only the 26th most difficult schedule.

In Week 2, the Redskins played the Rams in Los Angeles for the first time in 23 years. In addition, this was the last of six seasons that quarterback Kirk Cousins was on the roster, as he would join the Minnesota Vikings in the following offseason.

The Redskins won on Thanksgiving Day for the first time since 2012 and their third time ever. Kirk Cousins threw a pick six to Janoris Jenkins, who suffered a season-ending injury on the play, to tie the game at 10. The Giants defense hung tough until Cousins and Josh Doctson broke through in the final minutes of the game.

This was Eli Manning's 210th consecutive and final start before infamously being benched for Geno Smith for one game. He was the second quarterback to ever start 210 consecutive games and has since been passed by Philip Rivers.
