Freeze Frame Clip Shows Dexter Lawrence Might Not Have Jumped Offsides During Washington’s Missed Field Goal Attempt

The New York Giants lost a heartbreaking game on Thursday Night Football against the Washington Football Team.

In the final seconds of the fourth quarter with the Giants up 29-27, Washington kicker Dustin Hopkins lined up to kick a game-winning field goal. Hopkins missed the kick but the referees threw a flag on Giants’ Dexter Lawrence for being offsides.

But after looking at a freeze frame clip of the play, it looks like Lawrence didn’t jump offsides, instead read the snap perfectly.

Here, you be the judge:

Lawrence indirectly echoed this sentiment when speaking with reporters:

Dexter Lawrence on jumping offsides: “That’s on me. I have to be more disciplined in … a critical situation.”

Lawrence it seems didn’t think he was offsides a day later. “My opinion really don’t matter,” he said. “We lost the game. The refs called what they called.”

Tough to tell if it was an offsides or not, either way, the Giants fall to 0-2 after a 30-29 loss.
