Jameis Winston was looking for the answer to a 26-year-old question.
On a 4th-and-1 play at the Giants’ 12-yard line with 3:41 remaining and Big Blue leading 21-17, the veteran QB went all the way back to 2000 to try to get the Commanders to jump offsides with his hard count.
“Ready, get set, hut one, hut two, hut three!” he shouted before breaking out the classic Baha Men tune: “Who let the dogs out? Who, who, who?”
The ploy didn’t work as the play clock ran out on the Giants, and they were forced to punt it away with 3:27 left.
Winston’s attempt did, however, get some laughs out of the Prime Video booth.
“You gotta be kidding,” play-by-play man Al Michaels said with an audible chuckle on the “Thursday Night Football” broadcast.
“What is he doing?” analyst Kirk Herbstreit said through a laugh.
What wasn’t so funny for Giants fans was the Commanders marching 38 yards for a touchdown with just under a minute remaining to take a 24-21 lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
The Giants fell to 5-3-1 on the season, with Washington improving to 3-5-1.
