We go back to 2000, for a playoff grudge match between the Redskins and the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay escaped in the '99 divisional round with a 14-13 win over Washington, a game dominated by defense. And so it was again this time, with Redskins defense having the upper hand from beginning to end.... almost.

Those Redskins big-name off-season acquisitions smothered the Bucs offense entirely, until a fluke play in the final minutes spurred a dramatic comeback for Tampa Bay, which forced overtime and yet more drama.

This was the game in which the Redskins looked like they were going to live up to all the offseason hype, going toe-to-toe with a playoff foe in a game filled with postseason energy. The 80,000+ crowd roared and the band bounced as Pat Summerall and John Madden made their first-ever appearance at FedEx Field.

Remastered from a VHS master, this is a sparkling gem (though it takes a few minutes for the action to pick-up - stick with me here).
