A former Clemson Tiger made a critical error with the game on the line.
During Washington’s 30-29 win over the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football, Dexter Lawrence gave The Football Team a second chance at life.
Dustin Hopkins missed a game-winning 48-yard field goal, but Lawrence was ruled offsides on the game’s final play. Hopkins was able to line up five yards upfield and nailed a 43-yarder to send Washington home with its first victory of the season.
While the game shouldn’t have come down to one consequential play and the Giants had other missed opportunities at putting points on the board, Lawrence wore his mistake and took responsibility.
