Thomas makes a sweet toe-tapping catch.
The Washington receiver caught the touchdown pass with one hand, and then tapped his toes in the back of the end zone. There is a time and a place.

The Washington Football Team's four-game win streak was overshadowed by more bad injury news: tight end Logan Thomas' season could be over.
A source told Adam that the team is worried that Thomas suffered a torn anterior cruciate and clavinated knee late in the game against Las Vegas.
After Washington returns home, Thomas will have more tests.
Losing Thomas would be a big blow to Washington, which is currently in a tie with Dallas for first place in the division. The WFT has five games left in the playoffs.
Thomas was hit in the left knee by a defensive end from Las Vegas when he pulled to the left side. Thomas left on his own. Washington coach Ron Rivera did not see the play.
Over the past two years, Thomas has been Washington's most productive tight end in the red zone. Despite missing six games this season with a hamstring injury, he entered Sunday leading all tight ends in receiving yards in the red zone over the past two seasons.
On Sunday, he showed his worth when he made a leaping one-handed grab in the back of the end zone for a touchdown. He caught three passes. In six games this season, Thomas caught 14 passes for 148 yards and two touchdown.
Washington signed Thomas to a three-year contract extension in August. He caught 72 passes for 670 yards and six touchdown in the 2020 season to establish himself as a pivotal player in Washington's offense.
Ricky Seals-Jones, who has missed the past three games with a hip injury but was able to return to practice last week, will have to step in for Thomas. He was out of action because of the injury. The WFT has two rookies.
In the five games Seals-Jones played after Thomas was hurt, he caught 20 passes for 192 yards and a touchdown. He has 23 catches for 230 yards and two scores for the season. He has caught nine passes for 74 yards this season, but he is primarily a blocker.
Washington has won despite being banged up recently. Running back J.D. McKissic and safety/linebacker Landon Collins did not play on Sunday. Montez Sweat has not played during the four-game streak because of a jaw injury, and defensive end Chase Young is out for the year with a torn knee. On Sunday, the team started its fourth center.
