Kareem Jackson

Kareem Jackson had quite a day versus his old team, a defensive TD and an interception just a small portion of the beastly performance put on by the safety. Jackson likely felt he had something to prove to the team that dropped him after nine seasons, and boy, did he ever deliver.

Jackson was all over the field on Sunday, and on top of owning his former team in the Houston Texans, he likely made them feel deep, deep regret for ever allowing him to walk away in the first place. On the other hand, the Denver Broncos should feel very lucky that the Texans made that mistake, because Kareem Jackson has been a fantastic free agency pickup thus far, having a Pro-Bowl caliber season.

Many questioned Denver’s decision to convert Jackson from a cornerback to a safety, but it has paid off nicely so far.
