The ** Washington Redskins season** was the franchise's 68th season in the National Football League (NFL) and their 63rd in Washington, D.C. The team improved on their 6–10 record from 1998 to go 10–6. They succeeded to the extent of reaching their first postseason since 1992 and beating the Detroit Lions in the Wildcard round of the playoffs, their most recent home playoff victory. Their season would end after losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by a single point in the divisional playoff round. The Redskins would not host a playoff game again until 2012.
The season would also be the first season for new team owner Daniel Snyder, who purchased the team prior to the start of the season from Jack Kent Cooke's estate. The sale was finalized by the Cooke family on July 13, 1999. It would be the fourth and final season that the Redskins qualified for the playoffs in the 1990s and for the next five seasons, the team fell out of contention. They returned to the playoffs in 2005, winning their second playoff game under Snyder's ownership.
