The former Duke Football star, Jamison Crowder, found the end zone against his former team as the New York Jets defeated the Washington Redskins.

For a struggling New York Jets offense, quarterback Sam Darnold has found a security blanket in wide receiver Jamison Crowder.

Darnold connected with Crowder for the third straight week for a touchdown as the New York Jets defeated the Washington Redskins on Sunday afternoon, 34-17.

Jamison Crowder was drafted by the Redskins in the 2015 NFL Draft as the No. 105 overall selection.

In four seasons in Washington, Crowder caught 221 passes for 2,682 yards and 14 touchdowns as the team did not resign him in the offseason and the former Duke Blue Devil signed a three-year, $28.5 million deal with the New York Jets.

On Sunday in his first game against his former team, Crowder was targeted a team-high eight times, catching five of those targets for 76 yards and the touchdown.

Crowder was almost a part of a big trick play for the Jets when running back Bilal Powell threw a pass to the former Blue Devil but the pass was slightly under thrown and went off the hands of Crowder.

The five receptions Crowder had on the afternoon were tied for the team high as tight end Ryan Griffin caught five passes for 109 yards and a touchdown.

Griffin was the only member of the Jets to have more receiving yards than Crowder.

New York’s win gave the Jets its first winning streak of the season all three of the team’s victories have come against NFC East foes.

At 3-7 on the season, Jamison Crowder and the New York Jets will look to continue its momentum as the team heads back to MetLife Stadium to host the Oakland Raiders next Sunday, November 24 at 1:00pm EST and the game can be seen on CBS.
