## Key points

- Winston used a song in a failed hard count.
- Whitner said the Giants should cut him.
- Harbaugh defended the attempt as playful.

## Summary

Jameis Winston sang “Who Let the Dogs Out?” during a hard count against Washington, trying to draw the Commanders offside in the Giants’ loss. Former NFL safety Donte Whitner said the stunt was unrealistic and called for Winston to be cut, arguing that it distracted from the team’s effort to win.

The attempt failed, and the Giants punted instead of trying to convert fourth-and-inches from their own seven-yard line. Coach John Harbaugh said he was not bothered, describing it as a playful variation on Winston’s cadence that was still intended to draw Washington offside. Whitner played 11 NFL seasons.
