DeSean Jackson reminded the Buffalo Bills of how electric he can be with the ball.

Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson is a threat to score any time he touches the ball. The Buffalo Bills learned that the hard way as they let the speedy receiver break loose for a 77-yard touchdown. The Redskins have manhandled the Bills thus far, as Jackson’s touchdown gave them a 28-3 lead in the third quarter. Here is a video of Jackson showing off his incredible playmaking ability.

Through three quarters, Jackson had caught six passes for 153 yards and a touchdown. His emergence has helped Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins enjoy an incredible day. Cousins had thrown for 265 yards and three touchdowns through three, looking for even more. Jackson appeared to be close to being tackled since he was near the out-of-bounds marker and cornered by two defenders.

However, his speed and agility enabled him to break loose toward a clear path to the end zone. This touchdown greatly increases the Redskins’ chances to win the NFC East since the New York Giants are trailing by a wide margin against the Carolina Panthers. It remains to be seen if the Redskins can keep up this momentum and make the playoffs.
