Linebacker Rob Jackson also played more on third downs in the second half and recorded a sack and drew a holding penalty. Jackson often comes out in these situations, partly because if he’s on the field the opposition knows he’s going to rush. It’s harder to block if there’s some doubt and you can scheme certain rushes by having a guy fake the rush and drop. With Jackson, there’s no faking because he’s rarely going to drop into coverage. That’s why Lorenzo Alexander has played ahead of him on these downs. But not Monday. “I told [defensive coordinator Jim Haslett] to let me get some third downs,” Jackson said. “He left me out there and he believed in me. I felt I had to show up. If I’m asking for an opportunity I have to go show him.”
