Former Alabama star and current Chicago Bears rookie Eddie Jackson had himself one of the greatest games in NFL history against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The safety not only had two defensive touchdowns, but they were both 75 yards or more!

Those plays vaulted him into completely new territory in NFL history as that feat had never been accomplished before.

That kind of play would certainly make his former coach in Nick Saban proud. He had not recorded an interception or fumble recovery before that game so it was a major breakthrough in his first year in the pros.
