DeSean Jackson Shows Long-Range Touch

On Sunday in Minnesota, Jameis Winston and DeSean Jackson hooked up on a scoring pass for the first time, what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hoping is the first of many. Jackson's third-quarter leaping grab over cornerback Trumaine Brock in the end zone resulted in a 25-yard touchdown, one of two on the day for Winston.

It's not surprising that Jackson was able to score from outside the red zone. He has essentially been the NFL's best long-range touchdown threat in the near-decade since he first entered the league as a second-round draft pick for Philadelphia.
