Jameis Winston adds to history of viral moments with 'Who Let The Dogs Out?' hard count

There's a reason Jameis Winston has already lined up a post-playing career in media.

While the veteran quarterback remains one of the NFL's biggest-name backups for the Giants, Winston's outgoing personality has been on display for years. From his "Eat a W" speech, to his 2024 "Snow game" interview, Winston has a collection of viral moments thanks to his infectious energy.

Even as New York's QB2, he had the funniest moment of the night on "Thursday Night Football" against the Commanders, with microphones picking up a hilarious hard count to try to draw Washington offsides.

Here's a look at the viral clip of Winston's "Who let the dogs out" hard count against the Commanders.

Jameis Winston goes viral for 'Who let the dogs out?' hard count on 'TNF'

Giants head coach John Harbaugh has opted to continue using Winston's size to the offense's advantage despite J.J. McCarthy taking over the starting job; on Thursday night against the Commmanders, on multiple occasions, Winston stepped onto the field for a QB sneak in short-yardage situations.

Late in the game, with the Giants holding a four-point lead, they found themselves in a huge spot. Winston couldn't quite convert on a 3rd & 1 sneak at the Giants' own 11-yard line and under four minutes remaining, but Harbaugh sent his offense back out onto the field.

Winston lined up, and for a moment, it appeared the Giants would take a huge risk by trying to move the chains and take the clock down further. Quickly, it became apparent Winston was just trying to draw Washington offsides for an automatic first down — and he tried anything.

"Get ready, get set, hut one, hut two," Winston yelled. "Who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who?"

It didn't work, unfortunately. The Giants punted instead, and a few drives later, the Commanders took a 24-21 lead that took them to an NFC East win.

Still, NFL fans surely loved Winston's viral moment.
