Over the last two seasons, safety Eddie Jackson has put the Lions away with game-ending interceptions in back-to-back seasons in Detroit. The ball-hawking defender had a pick six against quarterback Matthew Stafford in 2018, showing his impressive ability to read the offense to help put the game out of reach. Last season, he picked off the Lions’ Hail Mary attempt late in the fourth quarter to end any threat of a comeback. The newly-paid safety seems to like the confines of Ford Field and he’ll get another pick at some point during the game.
