Getting Jackson the ball is key to Eagles’ success

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — DeSean Jackson can score anytime he touches the ball from anywhere on the field.

The problem for the Philadelphia Eagles is they don’t have much success when opponents shut Jackson down. The Eagles were 10-4 in games Jackson played this season. The Pro Bowl wide receiver had just 11 catches for 107 yards and no touchdowns in the four losses.

Guess who the Green Bay Packers (10-6) will focus on stopping when they play Philadelphia (10-6) in an NFC wild-card game on Sunday?

Yes, the Packers have to contain Michael Vick. But he’s the quarterback and there’s no way to keep the ball out of his hands. So, they’ll try to take away Vick’s main target instead.
