The Washington Commanders football franchise has been around since 1932. In that time, it has experienced plenty of weird moments, both on and off the field.
Any club owned by the mercurial showman George Preston Marshall — the P.T. Barnum of the early NFL — was bound to be involved in its share of oddities.
The strangest game came in the 1940 championship, when they suffered the biggest blowout in NFL history, falling 73-0 to the Chicago Bears. Five years later, there was the “sneakers game,” when they gave away a title in the spirit of fair play.
