DeSean Jackson providing spark, confidence for Las Vegas Raiders, Derek Carr

HENDERSON, Nev. -- DeSean Jackson is averaging 35.0 yards per catch with the Las Vegas Raiders. Or, one yard per year he's been alive.

Yes, Jackson turned 35 on Wednesday, six days after his three-catches-for-102-yards-and-a-56-yard-TD Tour De Force on national television at the Dallas Cowboys.

"S---, I didn't even know he was 35," Raiders running back Josh Jacobs said of Jackson after bearing witness to the diminutive wideout showing he still had that vaunted burst. "I ain't know he was 30 ..."

Jacobs paused, then smiled.
