The full breakdown

Jackson's grade was anchored by 50 neutral snaps where he quietly executed his deep coverage duties without surrendering big plays. His grade received a boost in the second half as he made several positive contributions in run support and coverage. On a play-action pass at Q4 10:06, he read the quarterback's eyes from rat coverage and delivered a hit to jar the ball loose. In run defense, he showed sound angles from depth (Q3 14:50) and triggered quickly to help stuff a 3rd-and-short carry near the goal line (Q4 09:16).
