During Thursday night's victory over the Giants, Commanders returner Luke McCaffrey executed a high-IQ maneuver on a kickoff. As the ball neared the sideline at the 5-yard line, McCaffrey stepped out of bounds before touching the ball, triggering a penalty that awarded his team possession at the 40-yard line.
Head coach Dan Quinn praised the decision, noting the high-pressure nature of the play in the final quarter. The veteran coach admitted he was anxious during the sequence, highlighting the difficulty of making such a precise judgment call in the heat of the game.
