Giants quarterback Jameis Winston leaves broadcasters floored with absurd snap count: 'What is he doing?'
Fox News • • sports
Key Points:
- During a critical moment in the New York Giants' loss to the Washington Commanders, quarterback Jameis Winston used an unconventional snap count by singing "Who Let the Dogs Out" to try to draw the defense offside.
- Despite Winston's unique cadence, the Commanders did not jump offside, leading to a delay-of-game penalty for the Giants on fourth-and-1 from their own 11-yard line.
- Giants coach John Harbaugh confirmed that the inclusion of the song in the cadence was intentional, aiming to catch the defense off guard, though it ultimately did not work.
- The Giants lost the game 24-21, and Winston has continued to play primarily as a backup and short-yardage specialist behind starter J.J. McCarthy.
- The snap count incident drew notable reactions from broadcasters Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit, who were surprised and amused by Winston's creative approach.
