The Minnesota Vikings travel this weekend to play the Washington Commanders tomorrow. The Commanders have a long, often troubling, sometimes successful history. The team carried a wildly racist name for most of it’s history. Perhaps all the heat now is punishment for that. On the field, Washington has had some great teams with great players. They won NFL titles in 1937 and 1942 and Super Bowls in 1982, 1987, 1991. They had a knack for winning Super Bowls during seasons with work stoppages. On the eve of their big game with the Vikings, here’s a look at some of the best players in the 90 year history of the Boston Braves/Boston Redskins/Washington Redskins/Washington Commanders.
