Rpm suddenly drops and car jerks??

I have a 2011 nissan maxima. When I'm driving locally or stuck in traffic on the high way, after letting go of the gas my rpm needle suddenly drops really quickly to about 500 and then jumps right back up. Sometimes i can feel a jerk in the car when this happens. What could be the problem? I need help!

Sounds like a slipping transmission.
