Northwestern in the NFL, Week Seven: Justin Jackson and Dean Lowry lead the way in quiet day

While Northwestern football returned this past weekend to the joy and relief of fans everywhere, just four Pro ‘Cats took the field the next day with several players either on byes or inactive.

JJTBC split backfield duties with Joshua Kelley in their squad’s 39-29 home victory over Gardner Minshew’s Jacksonville Jaguars. Jackson rushed for only 12 yards on five carries, with 11 of those coming on one play. However, the third-year back also contributed in the passing game, hauling in 5 catches for 43 yards and proving effective on screen plays.
