Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston recently shared the story behind his unique snap count after incorporating the famous song “Who Let the Dogs Out” into his cadence during a game.
The Origin of the Viral Cadence
Following a 24-21 loss to the Washington Commanders, Winston told reporters that he first tested the phrase in practice because it just had a nice ring to it. During a crucial fourth-and-1 play late in the fourth quarter, Winston shouted the slogan made famous by the Baha Men in an attempt to draw the Washington defense offside.
The unusual cadence did not fool the defense, and the team ultimately had to punt the ball away. The Commanders secured the victory following a go-ahead touchdown reception by Stefon Diggs in the final minute of regulation, bringing their record to 3-5-1 for the season.
