Marshawn Lynch is used to punishing defenders who try to bring him down.

But Sunday night against Washington, Lynch got a taste of his own medicine. During a second-and-15 run in the third quarter, Lynch was about to make it back to the original line of scrimmage. But Washington defender D.J. Swearinger had other ideas.

He rocketed toward Lynch like a heat-seeking missile, launching into Lynch and sending the Oakland running back flying.

At the time of this writing, the Redskins led the Raiders 21-6 with approximately four minutes left in the third quarter.
