After Washington edged rival Dallas in overtime Monday night, ESPN analyst Jon Gruden just had to ask his brother Jay a question during the post game interview with Lisa Salters. It ended up being more of a statement from the booth down to the field, with the message simply “You should hug your quarterback Colt McCoy!” Salters relayed the question, and that promptly led to this missed high-five hug sequence.
