The Facts:
Jackson had his second-highest workload of the season — 25 touches — with a sore groin. According to Post-Dispatch staffer Jim Thomas, Jackson had the injured groin wrapped in three protective layers — two pairs of compression shorts plus what he called a "groin contraption," with three straps around his waist and upper leg. "It's just to lock the groin in and make sure I don't get overextended," he said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
A remarkable performance. As late as Thursday, Jackson still had a pocket of blood in the injured portion of his right leg. Jackson had acupuncture treatment and was giving himself treatments to electrically stimulate the muscles in the affected area at four in the morning to try to get himself right. And on a day when Jackson passed Marshall Faulk for second place on the Rams' career rushing list, he couldn't run full speed. And didn't change direction very often. He just kept plowing ahead, like he did on a 49-yard screen pass early in the third quarter that helped break Seattle's back. It was his longest reception since 2008. ... One more time: That's 126 yards from scrimmage while playing injured. Impressive.
