The full breakdown

Jackson's 57.7 grade was heavily weighed down by a catastrophic -2.0 coverage bust in the first quarter (Q1 06:50), when he bit on a crossing route and vacated his deep zone for an easy 40-yard touchdown. He provided a couple of solid reps triggering downhill from depth, limiting an inside zone run (Q1 07:50) and rallying to a flat throw (Q2 07:02) to earn a 63 run defense grade. However, he also lost his lane integrity on kickoff coverage late (Q4 00:33), finishing with a 57 on special teams. Ultimately, the singular deep-ball miscue overwhelmed his positive contributions across 55 total snaps.
