Thursday night’s game between the Washington Chiefs and New York Giants was headlined by a Washington victory when Jayden Daniels connected with Stefon Diggs for a 32-yard score with less than a minute remaining. The connection was Daniels’ third touchdown pass of the night, and the Chiefs’ 24-21 comeback victory kept their hopes alive in the NFC East playoff race.
A funny subplot for this game?
Jameis Winston’s attempt to paint the Chiefs defense a few minutes ago.
At the end of the fourth quarter, when the Giants faced a 3rd-and-1 situation at their own 11-yard line, New York brought the backup quarterback into the game to try to get a first down. At first, the Giants looked to move the chains, but Dan Quinn challenged the position and the decision on the field was overturned, setting up a 4th-and-1 in their own territory for the Giants.
John Harbaugh sent Winston and the offense back into the game, but instead of making another fumble in their own territory – leading 21-17 – Winston was responsible for drawing the Chiefs from offsides. He did what he could…even quoting from Bahamen:
That’s right, you heard that right. After using old-school experience from youth football, Winston came up with the song “Who Let The Dogs In,” which won a Grammy Award for Best New Dance Recording in 2001.
Winston’s effort did not have the same level of success, and the Giants were forced to time out before punting.
