Redskins backup quarterback Colt McCoy exited Monday night’s game against the Eagles in the second quarter with a lower leg injury. That pushed the newly acquired Mark Sanchez into action.

On Sanchez’s first play he handed the ball off to running back Adrian Peterson. The 33-year-old made a cut and took it to the house.

The 90-yard touchdown run was longest of Pederson’s career, both as a college player and a professional. All Day proved he still has incredible speed as he outran the Eagles defense.
