3. P-Dub … again. Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington repeatedly turned in big plays at big moments in 2025. Perhaps no big play by Washington was as big as one in the third quarter of a 34-20 Week 16 road victory over the Denver Broncos. The Jaguars, leading by a touchdown midway through the quarter, took possession at their 20 after a Denver punt, and drove 80 yards on four plays for a double-digit lead. Lawrence capped the drive with a 10-yard touchdown pass – his third of the game – to Etienne Jr. for a 31-17 Jaguars lead with 3:56 remaining in the quarter. The key play came when Lawrence on third-and-3 from the Jaguars 27 threw to the right sideline for Washington, who broke a tackle and sprinted down the sideline for a 63-yard gain to the Broncos 10 one play before Etienne’s touchdown. Washington caught six passes for 145 yards in the game, with 87 yards coming on two receptions on which he broke tackles and turned short passes into long gains. “It’s awesome, just the way it opens up the offense for us,” Lawrence said of Washington. “It’s hard against a really good defense and a really good pass rush. The coverage is sticky and they do a good job. So when guys can take short passes for 20, 30, 40, 50 yards it just blows it open for us as an offense. Obviously, Parker had a great day. Not surprised. He has made some huge plays.”
