Targeted Early Sunday, DeSean Jackson Hopes To Play Big Role Down Stretch

The Redskins' offense was effective in the win against the Eagles and got wide receiver DeSean Jackson involved early and often against his former team.

The win over the Eagles at FedExField meant a lot to the Redskins. But defeating this division opponent meant just a little bit more to wide receiver DeSean Jackson.

Jackson spent his first six seasons with Philadelphia after being drafted by the team in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft. For him, getting to play against the Eagles is a special opportunity to show off against the team that moved on from him in the spring of 2014.
