NFL Playoffs: Former Tennessee Vols DT Malik Jackson has experience beating Patriots

For over a decade, the NFL Playoffs storyline was about Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Brady won the first two, but Manning finished his career with a winning record against Brady in the postseason.

Now, another former Tennessee Vols player is making a name for himself for what he does against Tom Brady. That guy is Malik Jackson.

Jackson is 2-0 as a starting defensive tackle against the New England Patriots and Tom Brady in the NFL Playoffs. Both times were with the Denver Broncos, as Manning’s teammate, ironically. And both times were in the AFC Championship game en route to the Super Bowl.
