The Facts:
Jackson caught just two passes for 26 yards in the Eagles’ 31-26 loss to the Bears on Sunday, but that might have been the least of his problems. Multiple team sources told News Journal staffer Geoff Mosher that Jackson was chewed out by HC Andy Reid in front of the entire team after the game. Jackson, one source said, had irritated Reid by having a loose demeanor before the game and not taking pre-game drills seriously.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
After the game, Jackson sat in front of his locker with his face buried his hands for about 20 minutes and had to be consoled by several teammates, including LeSean McCoy and Brent Celek. Jackson and Vick also had what looked like an emotional discusssion, with Vick seemingly imparting some advice on the third-year WR, although Jackson seemed lukewarm to the entire conversation. As he walked away, Vick told Jackson, “C’mon, D-Jax, you’re my boy. I would never tell you nothin’ wrong.” Jackson didn’t respond. It’s possible that Vick was disappointed by Jackson’s alligator arms on a first-and-10 pass to the left side at the Chicago 10-yard-line midway through the fourth quarter. ... According to Mosher, Reid wouldn’t have reacted so angrily if the Eagles had won.
