"I thought Luke McCaffrey made a really smart play that won't show up on the stat sheet," Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said. "That's a difficult play. Is it out of bounds? Is it not? I was nervous about it, that's one of the ones where you hold your breath."

McCaffrey's smart kickoff return play forced penalty, moved ball to 40-yard line.

Commanders kickoff returner Luke McCaffrey executed a heads-up play in Thursday night's win over the Giants by intentionally stepping out of bounds while fielding a kickoff near the sideline at the 5-yard line, forcing a kickoff out of bounds penalty that moved the ball to the 40-yard line. Head coach Dan Quinn praised the play as "really smart" and noted it was "a difficult play" requiring quick-thinking ability in the fourth quarter with the game on the line, calling it "among the smartest football plays you'll see."
