Jackson's precision passing tied him with Peyton Manning for the most games (six) with 4+ passing touchdowns and five or fewer incompletions in NFL history.

This marks the 14th time in Jackson's career that he has been named Offensive Player of the Week—the most in franchise history and third-most among active offensive players.

The award caps off a stellar return performance for Jackson, reinforcing his status as one of the league's premier quarterbacks.
