ARLINGTON, Texas -- LeSean had just had a career performance, but the main topic of conversation Sunday night in the Philadelphia Eagles' locker room wasn't LeSean but DeSean. And that was just fine with everyone.
"He's such a playmaker," tailback LeSean McCoy said of wide receiver DeSean Jackson. "I'm trying to think of a game where he hasn't come up big for us."
Allow us to help. We'll give you three, all of which came during the 2009 season and all against the rival Dallas Cowboys, who in sweeping last year's season series and eliminating the Eagles in the playoffs held Jackson, one of the most explosive players in the NFL, to a total of seven receptions for a harmless 79 yards, including three catches for just 14 yards in a 34-14 wild-card round blowout.
Jackson nearly matched those numbers on the first snap from scrimmage Sunday night -- and did match it with one numbing, game-altering play in the fourth quarter -- which made Philly's 30-27 win at Cowboys Stadium all the sweeter for DeSean, LeSean and everyone else on DeEagles.
"It's a blessing to be in the position we're in, especially after last year -- being kicked out of the playoffs," said Jackson, who shredded Dallas with four receptions for a career-high 210 yards, including an incredible 91-yard touchdown to help put the outcome out of reach. "We finally got to come here and get that bad taste out of our mouth."
