Eddie Jackson barely flinched as he crossed the goal line, interested only in matters of uncertainty. The touchdown was certain. Not because he was standing in the endzone with the ball. But because he, Eddie Jackson, is a master of timing and instinct. His explanation of his interception and subsequent touchdown was simple enough: film study, coaching, reading the play design and following the quarterback’s eyes. The front seven had a good push. His teammates made their blocks. He went in for six. Simple.
No, what interested him was not his own celebration but leading one with his teammates.
