Just when you thought you had seen it all in a game of football, Jameis Winston is there to surprise you.
On Thursday night, the New York Giants and the Washington Commanders squared off in an NFC East showdown, and Winston had one of the best – or at least one of the funniest – moments of the season late in the game. Earlier in the night, Winston converted a crucial fourth-down quarterback sneak to move the chains. With the Giants leading by four points and facing a 4th & 1 with just over three minutes to play, Winston was trotted back onto the field.

But the Giants had no interest in snapping the ball – just attempting to get the Commanders to jump offsides to earn a free first down. And when delivering the cadence on the hard count, Winston pulled out a trick we can say we’ve never seen in an NFL game, borrowing from the 2000 smash hit “Who Let the Dogs Out” by Baha Men to draw the defense offsides.
It’s not the first time Winston has employed humor in such a situation – who could forget his plea for the other team to jump offsides while playing for the Browns – but sadly, the game didn’t end well for Winston and the Giants. The Commanders wouldn’t bite on the fake and eventually got the ball back. They then drove downfield and took the lead, scoring a touchdown with less than a minute remaining.
The Giants would get one more chance, but a J.J. McCarthy interception would end that opportunity and give the Commanders the upset win. But at least we got another all-time hard count from Jameis Winston. Check out some of the best social media reactions to Winston’s attempt below.
