During Sunday's wild-card playoff game (an eventual Washington loss), Kirk Cousins connected with Jackson on an intermediate pass, and the speedster ran 14 yards before being forced out at the goal line. The play was initially ruled a touchdown but upon review it was overturned.

Jackson has a history of pulling up short on guaranteed touchdowns, having celebrated early when he was a member of the Eagles in 2008 and during the 2005 Army Bowl.

While previous history suggest Jackson is too keen on celebrating prematurely, against the Packers, he did not to think about diving for the goal line. While Jackson's feet crossed the goal line, the nose of the ball did not.
