Internet reacts to hilarious Jameis Winston hard count in Giants loss
Winston dove deep into his bag of tricks and pulled out an all-time NFL comedy moment on Thursday night.
On Thursday night, the New York Giants and the Washington Commanders faced off in an NFC East matchup. Jameis Winston, the quarterback for the Giants, delivered a memorable hard count late in the game that had fans and media buzzing. With the Giants leading by four points and having just over three minutes left on the clock, Winston attempted to trick the Commanders into jumping offsides.
To achieve his goal, Winston delivered the cadence to the hard count to the rhythm of the popular 2000 hit "Who Let the Dogs Out" by the Baha Men. This unique attempt at trickery in an NFL game had never been seen before, and fans couldn't help but react with laughter and amazement. The Giants' hope was to earn a free first down by forcing the Commanders to jump offsides.
However, the Commanders did not fall for the trick and retained possession of the ball. The Commanders went on to score a touchdown with less than a minute remaining, ultimately leading to a victory and an upset win. Winston's humorous play stood out in the game, with several social media accounts sharing their appreciation for the hard count, calling it "the funniest snap count in NFL history" and "the funniest play in NFL history."
