The Redskins’ other points came on a 99-yard kickoff return by Andre Roberts and a safety in the waning minutes of what became a hopeless cause after Panthers quarterback Cam Newton threw for a career-high five touchdowns and Carolina’s defense forced five turnovers.

“We got our butts handed to us pretty good,” Jackson said Friday, asked what he recalled about the Week 11 loss in 2015. “You always remember that — when you played a team, and they beat you and got the best of you. It’s always in the back of your mind.”

The magnitude of the defeat still bothers Redskins offensive coordinator Sean McVay, too, who recalls it as “a very humbling experience.”

“I certainly look at myself and some of the decisions I made in that game, and I don’t think I did a good job at all putting our players in some of the situations that they had to face because of some of the play calls that I made,” McVay said Friday.

Looking to Monday night’s rematch at FedEx Field, McVay said he’s encouraged by the progress he has seen in the offense. The Redskins rank second in yards per game (412.1) heading into Week 13; the Panthers are averaging 340.3 (19th).

“We know it’s going to be a great challenge for us,” McVay said, alluding to the Panthers defense, which ranks fifth against the pass and 30th against the run.

The most dramatic change in the Panthers defense from last year to this is the loss of Pro Bowl cornerback Josh Norman, who signed with the Redskins just days after Carolina made him a free agent. In Norman’s place, two rookies — James Bradberry and Daryl Worley — have been learning on the job.

Asked to assess Carolina’s cornerbacks, Jackson made clear that he hasn’t made a priority of studying their tendencies. “Just guys there, I guess,” Jackson said. “I don’t get caught up in who we’re playing against or what guys or [what their] jersey numbers may be.”

All that matters, Jackson said, is winning.

“We can’t really get caught up in anything else. Last year’s game was last year’s game,” said Jackson, who caught an 80-yard touchdown from Cousins Sunday against Philadelphia, boosting his yards per catch to a team-high 17.8. “We got a job to do, which is go out there Monday night and win the football game….It’s much needed and important to us if we want to think about making the playoffs. It’s a game we need.”
