Jackson was also pumped for wide receiver Rashod Bateman, who set a career high with 121 receiving yards on four catches, including a 49-yard touchdown on a perfect bomb from Jackson.
“The media said that me and Lamar don’t have a connection, but we do, and we showed it tonight,” Bateman said. “Shoutout to Lamar for delivering the ball. Appreciate you, 8.”
Jackson downplayed his performance yet again. He said he’s not any more locked in than usual. He said the national stage didn’t matter to him, commenting on the pleasant humidity instead.
“I’m chasing something right now, so each and every game is going to be the same thing for me,” Jackson said. “I’m going to be the same person. Every game, I’m trying to win.”
