7. Eddie “2 TDs” Jackson’s 2 TDs Alone Beat Panthers

Mon, Oct 23, 2017

Cam Newton thinks he’s Superman.  But while I’m fairly certain Superman wouldn’t lose a Super Bowl if he really played in one, Bear rookie Eddie “12 Points In 12 Minutes” Jackson was the only player on either team to reach the endzone Sunday.  And he did it twice – both from 75 yards, both on defense, and both in just 11½ minutes.  He got his 1st before Trubisky even took a snap, and we only ran 11 plays before his 2nd (though we did find time to miss a FG).  And as Jackson netted almost as many yards as our offense and special teams combined, Truby put on a tie and glasses, climbed into a phone booth, and got the hell out of the way.  And while he was in there, he made a call about the NFL playoff schedule.  Yeah, that’s right, I said playoffs.
