Bengals Vs. Seahawks: Cincinnati Gets It Done With Special Teams In 34-12 Win

Given that Jackson came off the bench, nobody will benefit from the start. However, Jackson is quietly emerging as a possible bye week candidate here and there. He is not a great option, but with some decent wheels and the ability to throw up some decent passing totals on occasion, TJax might not be an awful choice if you are short a quarterback in the coming weeks.

”This is probably my best day, today,” Jackson said via Danny O’Neil of The Seattle Times. “I still kind of feel it when I throw a little bit. I’ve already kind of got it in my head that there’s going to be some pain when I throw a little bit. There’s going to be a little soreness.”

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll will make a decision on a starter on Sunday, with Jackson’s ability to make all the throws to be the determining factor in whether or not he starts.

Seattle leads the all-time series, 9-8, and have won seven of the last 10 meetings, including a 24-21 win in Seattle on September 23, 2007.

Game Date/Time: Sunday, October 30, 4:15pm ET
