ASHBURN — Cornerbacks don’t usually fill the stat sheet on game days, but Quinton Dunbar was the exception in the Redskins’ 24-6 win over the Cardinals last Sunday. The 26-year-old cornerback had five tackles, three passes defended and an interception.
For the latter, Dunbar’s pick off quarterback Sam Bradford immediately triggered an elaborate celebration from the Redskins secondary. Safeties Montae Nicholson and D.J. Swearinger put Dunbar “under arrest” — patting him down and cuffing his hands behind his back.
In all, it was the best performance of his four-year career, one that would normally build confidence.
But that wasn’t the case, he said.
