Dwayne Haskins Apparently Missed Final Play of Redskins Game While Taking Selfies With Fans
By Karl Rasmussen
Dwayne Haskins earned his first win as an NFL quarterback on Sunday, but you may have noticed that he wasn't on the field for the final kneel down of the game.
Instead, Case Keenum took the final snap of the contest, closing out the 19-16 win.
It was fair to wonder why Haskins didn't put the cap on his first win, and based on reports from the field, it turns out that Haskins was preoccupied: he was reportedly off to the sidelines, taking selfies with fans.

Play to the whistle, Dwayne!!
Interim coach Bill Callahan wasn't thrilled with Haskins' lapse in judgement, and called him out for it after the game.
Haskins admitted he thought the game was already over, but that didn't stop him from facing criticism. Even former Redskins great Joe Theismann was critical of his immature actions, lashing out at the rookie via Twitter.
How do miss the last snap of a game because ur taking selfies. That’s unprofessional & wrong.

Haskins will surely make a bigger effort to close out the game next week, win or lose, as he's definitely learned his lesson from Sunday's mishaps. A rookie mistake, but at least he got the W.
