It looked like Jacksonville Jaguars returner/WR Parker Washington made a big mistake, but it turned out to be a game-changing, 96-yard play.

Washington backed up inside his 5-yard line to catch a punt -- players usually let those bounce so it hopefully goes into the end zone -- and caught the ball at his 3-yard line. He ran to his left, got blocks from Yasir Abdullah and Antonio Johnson inside the 20-yard line and another by Devin Lloyd at the 27-yard line, and got past Patriots punter Bryce Baringer at the 47-yard line and coasted to a touchdown.
