It was 21 years ago today – December 10th, 2000 – that Lavar Arrington put a hit on Troy Aikman that would prove to be Troy’s last.
This blog isn’t to glorify an injury. Not at all. It was just a significant moment in the Washington | Dallas rivalry.
Aikman was running out of bounds and throwing the ball away on the play, but Lavar finished the hit as he should. There was nothing dirty or malicious about it. It was just a strong football play.
But if you want to trigger a Cowboys fan and see them turn salty, just mention this play.
