DeSean Jackson got the Washington Redskins on the board Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks by catching a 60-yard bomb down the right sideline for a touchdown.
Many people were extra giddy because it looked like Jackson burned Richard Sherman on the touchdown, but he actually beat Kam Chancellor.
Sherman stayed towards the middle of the field with Niles Paul and Chancellor went low on Jackson, who ran a wheel route. Sherman only came over late when he saw Kirk Cousins bomb the ball down the field.
As for Jackson, he’s doing exactly what the Redskins hoped he would — catch long touchdowns. Since entering the league in 2008, DeSean has 19 touchdowns of 50 or more yards, which is more than any other player.
