description

Winners of five straight in the lead-up to 2005’s Wild Card clash, LaVar Arrington and Washington’s defense could safely be described as a team “in their zone”; unfortunately for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that assessment applied to their on-field defense, too. Positioned to make a game-altering play on Tampa Bay’s very first pass attempt, the three-time Pro Bowler remains disciplined, ultimately reeling in an interception, followed by a spirited run back to the Buccaneers’ six-yard line to spur a touchdown on the play thereafter. Ready for his postseason close-up, Arrington shined with 10 tackles, one interception (for 21 returned yards), one pass defensed, and a forced fumble, guiding Washington to a 17-10 victory on January 7, 2006, its first postseason triumph since 1999.
