According to PFF, Jackson was efficient as a runner and thrower, recording three big-time throws, avoiding turnover-worthy plays, and seeing eight completions result in either a first down or touchdown.
Jackson had just four carries and 87 yards, forced a missed tackle, and broke off two runs of 10 or more yards.
