Dexter Lawrence gets hate messages after costing Giants with offsides penalty
Dexter Lawrence was attacked with hate messages on Twitter immediately after costing his New York Giants on Thursday night with a penalty.
Lawrence’s Giants were leading the Washington Football Team 29-27 with five seconds left. Washington was lining up for a 48-yard field goal attempt on 3rd-and-4 from the Giants 30.
Kicker Dustin Hopkins missed the kick wide to the right. But he was bailed out by a penalty flag thanks to Lawrence jumping offsides.

You win as a team, you lose as a team, but it must really stink when your penalty cost your team the game.
