The Redskins Rule was an observed longstanding coincidence between the National Football League (NFL) game results of the Washington Redskins, now known as the Washington Commanders, and the results of subsequent United States presidential elections. Briefly stated, when Washington won its last home game prior to the presidential election, the party of the prior popular vote winning party won the presidency; when Washington lost, the opposition party won.
