Former Penn State wide receiver Parker Washington played a key role in the Jacksonville Jaguars' thrilling victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in London on Sunday. Washington scored two touchdowns to help the Jaguars edge the Eagles across the pond.
Washington had 6 catches for a game-high 124 yards. His two touchdowns were among the top highlights of a defensive battle, and the Jaguars needed them in order to be in position for a last-second game-winning field goal.
Washington's first touchdown was a 51-yard catch that saw the former Penn State standout burn the Eagles secondary in the open field with massive yardage after the catch on his way to the end zone. The score was the first one of the game to give the Jaguars a lead in the first quarter.

He then controlled the football to the ground for a go-ahead touchdown with 3:20 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Washington has now caught 22 passes for 352 yards with 4 receiving touchdowns. That puts him easily on pace for career-highs in his fourth season in the NFL. The timing of this kind of season could be perfect for Washington, who is an unrestricted feree agent after the 2026 season.
Washington wasn't the only former Nittany Lion making plays for the Jaguars against the Eagles. Former Penn State tight end Brenton Strange caught some big passes in the win as well. Strange led all players with 7 receptions for 68 important yards to help set the Jaguars up for some big scoring opportunities.
The Eagles were without former Penn State running back Saquon Barkley. Barkley is out wiht a hamstring injury suffered early in last week's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Eagles are hoping Barkley can get back on the field soon, because the offense is looking stale without one of its top offensive weapons.
