The full breakdown
Jackson's 63.4 grade reflects a solid pass-blocking outing (65 facet) offset by erratic run blocking (60 facet). His low point came in the first half when he was beaten across his face on a slant at Q2 5:40 (-1.5), surrendering instant penetration on a tackle for loss. However, he rebounded in the third quarter, springing big runs with an inside reach block at Q3 13:27 (+1.0) and a powerful double team at Q3 12:13 (+1.0). In pass protection, Jackson was flawless against interior rushers across 46 snaps and added value by sealing a safety in space on a 32-yard screen at Q4 11:42 (+1.0).
