description

On one of the more memorable 'big man plays' in NFL history, when a teammate hit the opposing quarterback, resulting in a poor throw that barely made it past the line of scrimmage, Washington defensive tackle Dan Wilkinson intercepted the ball and immediately took off running in the other direction as he slipped by one would-be tackler. Wilkinson turned on the jets, and, aided by a key block from his teammate, was never touched again as he took the ball back 88 yards for an unforgettable score. Wilkinson also added a sack in this one, as Washington defeated the Bears, 48-22, on Oct. 31, 1999.
