5 Chicago Bears who bounced back after Week 1
2. Eddie Jackson
Eddie Jackson indeed took the most heat of all of the Chicago Bears defenders on Sunday. While Johnson is responsible as the top CB, Jackson is the leading man in the entire secondary. He is the highest paid, he is a veteran, and he has known the defensive coordinator since he was drafted.
The back end was touched repeatedly, and Jackson is known as the last line of defense. Adding in missed tackles and the boneheaded play between him and Tashaun Gipson, you had a fan base calling for his head. What a bounce-back for Jackson, though.
He was tipping passes, making tackles, shutting down throwing lanes, and keeping everything in front of him. It was an old-school game from the player who used to have performances like this.
