Eagles' Jackson Matches Rookie Mark
15th September, 2008 - 11:37 pm
Andrew Perna/RealGM - Philadelphia rookie wide receiver DeSean Jackson became just the second player in NFL history to begin his career with two-straight games of 100 or more yards receiving on Monday night.

Jackson had 110 yards on six catches against the Cowboys on Monday night, including a 60-yard reception that was first ruled a 61-yard touchdown.

Instead, officials ruled that Jackson lost control of the ball before crossing the plane of the end zone. He "lost" control when he threw the ball backwards in premature celebration.

Jackson posted 106 yards on six catches against St. Louis in Week One, his rookie debut.

The last rookie receiver to accomplish the feat was ironically also a member of the Eagles.

Don Looney began his career with two 100-yard receiving games for Philadelphia in 1940. [READ]
