The legend that is DeSean Jackson continues for the Philadelphia Eagles.

It’s been an interesting week for DeSean Jackson. One minute, he’s sitting on the Philadelphia Eagles‘ injured reserve. The next, Philly activates a 21-day practice window for him. Five days later, he’s being added to the Eagles’ active roster, and a little over 24 hours after that, he’s going 81 yards and somersaulting into the end zone.

His first-quarter touchdown reception from Jalen Hurts is the longest play from scrimmage since, well, DeSean Jackson hauled in another bomb from Michael Vick versus the Washington Football Team in a game affectionately referred to as the Monday Night Massacre.
