DeSean Jackson may have torched the Washington Redskins in Week 1, but there was one mistake that cost him.
Jackson was fined $10,527 for unnecessary roughness against Redskins cornerback Quinton Dunbar in the first quarter of last week’s game, Pro Football Talk reported.
Jackson and Dunbar got into this scuffle on the game’s first drive:

That could have told the whole story of Jackson’s first game back with Philadelphia, but instead, the wideout hauled in touchdowns of 51 and 53 yards later in the game as the Eagles came from behind to beat Washington 32-27.
