In the 2008 season, Jackson had a career season with 59 receptions, seven touchdowns, and 1,098 yards. However, by the end of the season, Jackson had distinguished himself as a top target for Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers. He started the season in an unmemorable fashion in a home game against the Chicago Bears by dropping a sure touchdown that bounced off his chest in the end zone. 2007 season īy virtue of the release of Keenan McCardell and an injury to Eric Parker, Jackson entered the 2007 season as a starting wide receiver for the Chargers. Possession was originally awarded to Oakland, but the Chargers were then flagged for an illegal forward pass and allowed to keep the ball. Because Jackson had fallen on his own and was not tackled, Raiders cornerback Fabian Washington believed it to be a fumble and leapt upon the ball. After making a 13-yard catch on fourth down, Jackson immediately got up and spun the ball forward in celebration. In a 2006 game against the Oakland Raiders, Jackson nearly made one of the most bizarre turnovers in recent NFL history. Jackson ended the season strongly and finished second on the team with six touchdown catches.
With 29 seconds left, quarterback Philip Rivers threw a touchdown pass to Jackson and the Chargers ended up winning the game 20–17 and setting a franchise record for wins. In the Chargers' Christmas Eve game against the Seattle Seahawks, Jackson had a memorable touchdown catch that led the Chargers to victory. Jackson caught his first NFL touchdown on September 17, 2006, in a victory over the Tennessee Titans. Jackson caught his first pass on November 6 against the New York Jets, but he would only catch two more passes for the rest of the season. He was inactive for the first five games of the season and finally saw his first NFL action in an October 16 game against the Oakland Raiders. Jackson got off to a slow start in 2005 due to injuries.
