Jamison Crowder and Paul Richardson are two of the Washington Redskins' top receiving options, but neither had scored a touchdown in the first 120 minutes of football this season. Both players changed that in the first 30 minutes of action against the Packers in Week 3.
Here's a look at Richardson's bomb that got the scoring party started on the opening drive. Richardson stays with the deep pass from Alex Smith and somersaults his way into the end zone:

Later in the first half, Crowder got on track with a short slant, before laying the ball up over the crossbar:

Both receivers contributed the offense's breakout first half attack, which hung 28 points on the Packers en route to a 25-point halftime lead.
