That’s something he did again today when he stepped on the field for a brief cameo. Brought in for tactical reasons or to run a QB-sneak in the remaining four minutes of the game, he surprised everyone with his cadence.
After dispersing the play-calling instructions within the huddle, he loudly burst the lines from a 2000 hit song by Baha Men - "Who let the dogs out, who who who" in the final seconds.
However, it didn’t go the Giants' way. They wanted to catch the Commanders Defensive line offside, but they didn’t fall into the trap and didn’t cross the line of scrimmage early. The referee threw a flag on the play as the play clock ran out, and John Harbaugh’s team had to punt the ball.
While Winston didn’t succeed in his mission, he certainly entertained everyone across the NFL world. Former players like Ryan Clark and Terron Armstead chimed in, calling Jameis 'legendary' and 'the greatest'.
Veteran NFL sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson couldn’t contain her laughter, calling the Florida alum a 'national treasure'. Fans also loved the moment and called him hilarious. Many felt he looked like an actor playing a role in a sports movie, while others called it one of the best sound bites in NFL history.

A fan added, "Jameis is like an actor playing QB in a sports comedy lol"
Terron Armstead chimed in, "Who let the dogs out", Jameis is legendary"
Tracy Wolfson quipped, "Who let the dogs out?! Jameis is a national treasure!"
Another fan commented, "Jameis Winston just gave us the best sound bite in NFL history"
Someone insisted, "Who a let the Dogs out? Put Jameis in the ring of honor he won Me over forever".
While Winston’s moment certainly gave fans a moment to remember, the Giants fans would want to forget how things unfolded today. What happened in the game? The Giants couldn’t get over the line despite endless chances to close out the game.
The Giants took the lead in the fourth quarter with a go-ahead touchdown. JJ McCarthy, who is still holding onto the QB 1 spot in New York, found Isiah Likely on 3 rd and 7 in the middle of the field. Likely separated from the defenders and with no one to tackle him, he ran all the way to the end zone for a 66-yard touchdown.
The Giants got the ball back rather quickly after the Commanders QB Jayden Daniels threw back-to-back interceptions. Despite the defense giving them ample opportunities to close out the game, the offense failed to step up. The play-calling didn’t help matters either.
The Commanders got the ball again, with just over a minute left in the game. Daniels, who had struggled throughout the night, didn’t make a costly mistake the third time. He and the offense drove the ball downfield. The LSU Alum connected with veteran receiver Stefon Diggs in the final minute, who broke tackles to make his way into the end zone.
The Big Blue still had enough time on the clock to at least get into field goal range. JJ McCarthy started well, connecting with his receiver. After an incomplete pass down the field, he launched another deep pass down the middle, hoping to connect with his star receiver, Malik Nabers, in what looked like a move of desperation. However, the Commanders’ defense stood tall and picked off his pass to see out the game.
The Giants are still atop the NFC East with a 5-3-1 record, but this loss leaves the division somewhat wide open if other teams can scrape together a few good results. John Harbaugh’s team has some difficult fixtures coming up, with the team facing the Jaguars, Colts and 49ers in the next three games. A loss like this will sting and might prove costly come December.
