The Redskins' 3–13 season was the worst record the team had posted since 1961, and the fewest wins they have ever gained in a 16-game season, an ignominy later matched by their 2013 and 2019 seasons. The team was decimated by the onset of the modern salary cap and free agency system. The Redskins were forced to depend on younger and untested players at many key positions. The season marked the hiring of head coach Norv Turner, who would spend the next six seasons coaching the Redskins. In addition to going winless at RFK in 1994, Turner's first season in Washington saw the team lose at home to the Atlanta Falcons for the first time. Prior to the Falcons' 27–20 victory in Week 4, Atlanta had been 0–10 against the Redskins at RFK. This included a 24–7 loss to the Redskins during Washington's most recent championship season.https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=atl&tm2=was&yr=all All Matchups, Atlanta Falcons vs. Washington Football Team Offseason NFL draft 1994 NFL draft 1994 Washington Redskins 1 3 Heath Shuler Quarterback Tennessee yes 2 31 Tre' Johnson Offensive tackle Temple yes yes 3 68 Tydus Winans Wide receiver Fresno State yes 3 97 Joe Patton Guard Alabama A&M yes 4 105 Kurt Haws Tight end Utah yes 6 163 Dexter Nottage Defensive end Florida A&M yes 7 197 Gus Frerotte Quarterback Tulsa yes yes no https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/was/1994_draft.htm 1994 Washington Redskins Draftees Pro-Football-Reference.com January 28, 2014 Personnel Staff 1994 Washington Redskins Chairman of the board/chief executive officer – Jack Kent Cooke Executive vice-president – John Kent Cooke General manager – Charley Casserly Assistant general manager – Bobby Mitchell Director of player personnel – Kirk Mee Director of college scouting – George Saimes Head coach – Norv Turner Quarterbacks – Cam Cameron Running backs – Bobby Jackson Wide receivers – Terry Robiskie Tight ends – Russ Grimm Offensive line – Jim Hanifan Defensive coordinator – Ron Lynn Defensive line – Bob Karmelowicz Linebackers – Mike Haluchak Defensive backs – Emmitt Thomas Defensive assistant – Ray Horton Special teams – Pete Rodriguez Strength – Dan Riley Assistant Strength – Jason Arapoff Roster 1994 Washington Redskins 12 Gus Frerotte y 17 John Friesz  5 Heath Shuler y 36 William Bell American football y 40 Reggie Brooks 32 Ricky Ervins 30 Brian Mitchell running back KR/PR 39 Tyrone Rush y 37 Cedric Smith American football FB 85 Henry Ellard 80 Desmond Howard 86 Leslie Shepherd American football 84 Olanda Truitt 83 Tydus Winans y 87 Coleman Bell 82 Kurt Haws y 89 Ethan Horton 88 James Jenkins American football 67 Ray Brown offensive lineman G/T 75 John Gesek C 77 Tre' Johnson y T 63 Raleigh McKenzie G 68 Joe Patton American football y G/T 69 Mark Schlereth G 76 Ed Simmons T 61 Vernice Smith G 93 Marc Boutte DT 91 Shane Collins American football DE 78 Tim Johnson defensive lineman DT 70 Leonard Marshall DE/DT 72 Lamar Mills y DE/DT 92 Dexter Nottage y DE 97 Sterling Palmer DE 94 Bobby Wilson defensive tackle DT 98 Tony Woods American football DE 56 Erick Anderson OLB 51 Monte Coleman OLB 55 Andre Collins OLB 54 Kurt Gouveia MLB 57 Ken Harvey American football OLB 90 Tyronne Stowe MLB 34 Martin Bayless SS 25 Tom Carter American football CB 24 Pat Eilers FS 26 Alan Grant American football CB/S 28 Darrell Green CB 47 A.

The Redskins suffered nine of their thirteen defeats by less than a full touchdown and only the two defeats to the Dallas Cowboys came by more than 20 points. All three of the Redskins' wins are on the road; the team failed to win a home game all season, going 0–8 when playing at RFK, including their biggest low point, losing to Atlanta for their first ever home loss to that team in eleven games. The Redskins also went 0–8 in division games: their three wins comprised two against NFC West rivals and one against the Colts. This would be Norv Turner's first of seven season's coaching the Redskins.
