PHILADELPHIA - Eagles head coach Chip Kelly is adamant that releasing receiver DeSean Jackson last season was not a mistake.
Jackson caught four passes for 126 yards for his new team, the Washington Redskins, in their 27-24 upset of Philadelphia that all but bounced the Eagles from the playoffs.
The Cowboys' romp over the Colts the next day clinched that fact.
"We feel confident in what we did," Kelly said after that game. "He played real well against us. Give him credit. He's a good football player."
His two catches, of 51 and 55 yards, set up two Redskins touchdowns, and both came against much-embattled cornerback Bradley Fletcher.
He has 243 yards this season in two games against the Eagles, to whom they fell 37-34 in Week 3 in Philadelphia. Jackson had an 81 yard touchdown catch in that contest and finished with 117 yards on ten other catches.
Jackson has 54 receptions for 1,083 yards and five touchdowns on the season for the Redskins.
