Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs had plenty of green grass in front of him on Thursday night, and he used every extra second to channel a classic NFL moment.
Trailing 21-17 in the final minute at MetLife Stadium, Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels found Diggs wide open over the middle on third-and-4 for a 32-yard go-ahead touchdown. With no New York Giants defender closing in, Diggs slowed down near the goal line, walked across the paint and fell backward into the end zone with 57 seconds left to seal a thrilling 24-21 comeback win.
After the game, Diggs admitted he wanted to bleed the clock before scoring and intentionally paid homage to former NFL wideout DeSean Jackson, recalling Jackson's iconic move of running across the goal line before stepping in.
