The Washington Football Team had lost.
Then, it hadn’t.
Thanks to an offside penalty called on New York Giants defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence, Dustin Hopkins got another chance after missing a 48-yard field goal as time expired Thursday.

The offside penalty was the second on New York on Washington’s game-winning drive.
Taylor Heinicke directed the march that wound up good for 50 yards on 11 plays in the final two minutes.
New York had taken the lead on a 35-yard field goal before Washington went on its game-winning march.
Washington is 1-1 and the Giants are 0-2.
