Washington Redskins quarterback has laughed off a mistake which saw him leave the field to take a selfie even though the game was still going on.

Dwayne Haskins ran over to the stands to take a picture with fans in celebration of his team’s 19-16 comeback against the Detroit Lions.

However, there was still time on the clock and the team had to send on his backup, Case Keenum, to take the final snap of the game and run down the remaining seconds.

“We were looking for him, too,” said interim coach Bill Callahan after Sunday’s game. “I think he thought the game was over.”

The rookie quarterback said he wouldn’t make the same mistake again.

He told reporters: “I look up and we were in victory (formation) and said, ‘Oh, I thought the game was over with already.’ But I’ll get it next time.”

Former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann didn’t see the funny side however.

He posted: “How do miss the last snap of a game because ur taking selfies. That’s unprofessional & wrong.”
