Week 2 vs. DET

Passing: 1 - 1, 14 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT
Rushing: 3 / -3 / 0

Brett Favre's clipboard holder kept the clock running in the 4th quarter after the Vikings had the game wrapped up. Once the Lions were out of time-outs, Jackson took a knee and the game ended. They one interesting part of Jackson's performance was early in the game when he lined up as the short man on the first punt formation. He didn't touch the ball and the Vikings kicked it away. Jackson wasn't on the field again until the end.


Week 5 vs. STL

Passing: 3 - 3, 68 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT

Jackson came in during garbage time, midway through the fourth quarter and worked the offense well to wrap up the game. Jackson made smart decisions, set up the run with short passes and hit a nice screen to Chester Taylor to avoid a blitz from the Rams. He's not a threat to replace Favre any time soon, but is clearly learning from watching Favre run the offense.


Week 17 vs. NYG

Passing: 4 - 6, 42 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT
Rushing: 3 / -3 / 0

Tarvaris Jackson came in for Brett Favre in the fourth quarter to close out the Week 17 blowout victory. Jackson is a solid back up with several NFL starts under his belt but with iron-man Favre in front of him there is little upside for him unless Favre ever retires --- and stays that way.
