Giants' Jameis Winston Sings Through Snap Count in Attempt to Draw Washington Offside
According to Fox News, Winston used a song during his snap count to try to draw Washington offside.
Fox News reported that Giants quarterback Jameis Winston sang during his snap count in an effort to draw Washington offside, a moment that left broadcasters Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit stunned, in a Fox News report on the snap count.
According to the report's summary, Winston sang "Who Let the Dogs Out" as part of his snap count. Fox News said the song was the means by which Winston tried to draw a Washington player across the line before the ball was snapped, a violation that results in an offside penalty.
Fox News reported that the moment left Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit stunned. The summary describes their reaction only in those terms and does not quote their remarks.
The report's headline frames the episode as a question about what Winston was doing. The summary does not include a response from Winston or the Giants.
The Fox News summary does not say whether Washington moved before the snap, whether a penalty was called, or how the play affected the game's outcome. It also does not identify the date or location of the game. The material reviewed for this story includes no other outlet's account to fill those gaps, so the effectiveness of the tactic remains unconfirmed by the sources reviewed here.
