Desean Jackson Bonehead Fumble on Monday Night Football
Philadelphia Eagles receiver Desean Jackson looked to have completed a great play, but on instant replay it showed he actually dropped, and therefore fumbled, the ball making his touchdown incomplete. What a true bonehead.
The DeSean Jackson fumble contributed to a loss for Philadelphia Eagles to the Dallas Cowboys with a score of 42-39 on Monday Night Football. Due to the fumble, the play was a 60-yard reception, which resulted in a 1-yard touchdown by Brian Westbrook on the very next play.
Ironically, this is not the first time Jackson has prematurely celebrated during a national spotlight game. As a high school All-American at Long Beach Poly H.S. in California, Jackson was steps away from a long touchdown during the 2005 U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio on NBC.
After catching a long pass, Jackson was well on his way for a 53-yard touchdown when he dove from the 5-yard line and began celebrating in the endzone. However, he missed the end zone by 1-yard and was then flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
