Making history. That’s been DeSean Jackson’s motto since being named to the Pro Bowl as a wide receiver and punt returner. He was the first player to earn a Pro Bowl invite at two positions in one year.

Based on his first Pro Bowl experience, Jackson will be Jerking his way to many Pro Bowl appearances during his career.

The Eagles special wideout hauled in six passes for an NFC high 101 yards and two touchdowns in the game, which the AFC won, 41-34.

Jackson caught his first score in the first quarter from Aaron Rodgers.

His second catch was a 58-yarder from Donovan McNabb. DMac and DJacc connected on many 50-plus yard scores during the regular season.

Jackson also had a higher QB rating than Vince Young.

Had the NFC won, Jackson likely would have won the MVP Award, which ended up going to Texans signal caller Matt Schaub. the AFC’s starting QB went 13-of-17 for 189 yards and two touchdowns.

Besides his TD pass to Jackson, McNabb had a rough night going just 3-of-10 for 78 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and another interception that was overridden by an AFC penalty.

He did, however, lead the NFC is rushing with 26 yards on four carries.
