It appeared the New York Giants had won their NFC East showdown with the Washington Football Team on Thursday night after Dustin Hopkins’ 48-yard field goal attempt as time expired veered wide right. The only problem?

Dexter Lawrence was offside, Hopkins got another attempt at 43 yards he made, and Washington escaped with a 30-29 win. 

“Obviously it’s something we don’t want to have,” head coach Joe Judge told reporters after the game regarding the penalty. “It’s something that’s not acceptable. But, look, we’re not going to turn around and put this game on one player or one play. There’s enough things we can clean up together as a team. We can play better.”

“I’m not gonna put this on Dex,” he added.
