In front of a crowd of more than 86,000 at London’s Wembley Stadium, the Jacksonville Jaguars recorded a stunning 32-16 victory over the New England Patriots, but it was Parker Washington‘s feat that stood out attention.
At the heart of the second quarter where the “Jags” scored no less than 22 points, the English fans were treated to quite a demonstration. Having caught the punt, Washington raced up the field 96 yards for the touchdown.

No one was able to catch him. This is also the longest punt return in Jaguars history. According to the NFL Network, Washington only had a 0.7% chance of getting the ball into the pay zone.
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence only threw the ball 20 times, completing 15 of his passes for a touchdown. He especially trusted running back Tank Bigsby, who passed for 118 yards on 26 carries. He also got two majors on runs at the goal gate.
On the Patriots side, it was the defense that faltered since Drake Maye played a good game. The rookie quarterback amassed 276 yards through the air and threw two touchdown passes. His ground game, however, was completely neutralized with only 38 yards of gains.
This was the third and final duel presented this season in London. The Jaguars were notably defeated 35-16 by the Chicago Bears last Sunday.
