DeSean Jackson: I can’t throw the ball to myself

DeSean Jackson finally made his return from a hamstring injury Sunday, and he didn’t exactly pick up where he left off. Jackson was basically a non-factor, catching just three passes for 16 yards. He was targeted six times, and it sounds like he wants his number called more.

Kirk Cousins received no help from the Redskins’ receiving corps in a 27-10 loss to the Patriots. Several passes were dropped, including at least one that could have gone for a touchdown. When asked about the drops, Jackson was quick to point out that he’s innocent.

“I’m not the one making the drops, I can’t really speak for that,” Jackson said, via Scott Allen of The Washington Post.
