It wasn't all bad for the Washington Redskins in their Week 11 44-16 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Wide receiver DeSean Jackson caught his first touchdown pass of the 2015 season and he was a factor the entire game.

Jackson's touchdown came when he streaked down the right sideline on a go route and caught a pass over the top for a 56-yard touchdown.

Jackson finished with 87 yards receiving on five receptions. He led the team in receptions and yardage on a day where the passing game was otherwise nonexistent.

If Jackson can keep things rolling, the Redskins will have a deep threat to rely on for the remainder of 2015 -- this will help them open up the offense.
