Parker Washington Scores 51 Yard Touchdown For Jaguars In London

A 51-yard touchdown catch and run from Parker Washington gave the Jacksonville Jaguars an early lead over the Philadelphia Eagles in London, as Trevor Lawrence found the wide receiver for a decisive first score after a penalty-free big play, according to NBC Sports.

According to NBC Sports, Washington caught a short pass from Lawrence and moved through the Eagles secondary for the 51-yard touchdown. The play put Jacksonville ahead 7-0.

The score followed an earlier Jaguars offensive play that was erased by a penalty, making Washington's touchdown the first major play to stand during the drive, according to NBC Sports.

NBC Sports reported that the Jaguars drive began after the Eagles failed to convert fourth-and-1. Philadelphia used a handoff to Will Shipley while Jalen Hurts was in the shotgun.

Before Washington's touchdown, Jaguars wide receiver Travis Hunter caught a nine-yard pass on second-and-7, according to NBC Sports. It marked a rare offensive contribution for Hunter, who had played mostly defense during the season.

The Eagles offense entered the possession needing a response after Jacksonville's early scoring play, with NBC Sports reporting that Philadelphia had to generate momentum following the touchdown.
