RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Playing with a torn pectoral muscle and a small biceps tear in his right arm, Tarvaris Jackson managed to throw for a career-high 323 yards the last time the Seattle Seahawks faced the Cincinnati Bengals.
It's a moment that remains vivid in the minds of the Seahawks organization even four years later as the team travels to face the Bengals for the first time since that afternoon in Seattle.
Jackson, now the Seahawks' backup quarterback, replaced an ineffective Charlie Whitehurst under center in the second quarter just three weeks removed from being injured against the New York Giants.
