Fantasy Impact:
Jackson explained after the game that he just wasn’t ready to play at the level he’s used to. “I didn’t want to go out there and not be able to perform to the level that I can, that I know I can,” Jackson said, via NBC Sports Chicago. “So there was no point to going out there and having a bad game to hurt the team. That was just the biggest thing, don’t go out there and try to be a superhero, you can’t perform, you hurt the team giving up big plays and stuff like that. But the s–t sucks, man, It sucks. We fought this hard, do everything to come this far and — it’s football, man.” Jackson will now have plenty of time to get healthy before the start of offseason workouts.
