I know I won't be the only one clicking this to read about Bryan Westbrook.

You are not.

Michael Westbrook

Claim to infamy came in an overtime game against the New York Giants late in the 1997 season. On one play, Westbrook said a linebacker stuck his hand through his facemask and poked him in the eye. He left the game momentarily. On the next play back, he thought he made a catch near the sidelines. Three referees huddled and decided he was bobbling the ball as he went out of bounds.

Westbrook took off his helmet and slammed it to the ground. He was penalized 15 yards and the Redskins were backed up out of field-goal range. The game ended in a tie and the Redskins finished the season 8-7-1 and out of the playoffs. If they had won, they would have been in the playoffs.

Remember this game like it was yesterday but I don't think you can bring this up without a mention of Frerotte taking himself out of the game by ramming his head into a wall.
