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).

    I'm first to comment! I remember this game! When the REdskins were contenders and really good. Stephen Davis was a beast!
  • @PsychoholicSlag
    I liked Brad Johnson a lot! Wish Dan Snyder kept him around longer.

    I remember this game. This was a battle. I miss how loud the fans are when defense was on the field. This is the same Redskins team who beat the 2000 Ravens

    FINALLY!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS UPLOAD!!! I couldn't get the FOX broadcast for some reason.....it was radio only.
  • @zacchaeuswilson6116
    The first of only TWO games that Pat and John would ever call together at FedEx Field. The other was later on that 2000 season against the Giants.

  • @devastator5607
    Big game, 17-17 OT and you kick to Deion, no angle nothing, he wasn't the 21 from Dallas or Atlanta but still that's disrespectful to say o we'll take our chances
  • @viralsports4258
    Why couldn't they rebrand as the RedHogs; something that not only sounds close to Redskins but also pays homage to the Hogs. Then replace the face of the Redskins logo with the old retro R symbol inside the circle with the feather hanging down. Then keep the uniforms the same. Just remove the Redskins name on the chest and replace with RedHogs. Simple.

    Been a while since i thought about the 2000 season, i believe this was the last year before the Salary Crap kicked in and the Redskins had a $100,000,000 payroll and looked as if they had bought a Super Bowl that year, sitting at 6-2 but the football Gods and Snyder had other ideas. So between the Johnson and George controversy thanks to idiot Snyder and woeful kicking game and the firing of Turner they were done. Thou i feel had Snyder left Turner alone at least until the season was over they might have made the playoffs. Oh well, would've could've should've. Thanks for posting Brother

    I was like 22 or 23 wen I saw this game, we were competitive but Dan Snyder had to ruin things, force coaches to play his players, act like a baby make us suck
