Los Angeles' Jackson looks to stay hot on NBC this Saturday

Published on February 11, 2004 under Arena Football League (1987-2008) (AFL I) News Release

NEW YORK – Los Angeles OS CHRIS JACKSON (6-2, 200, Washington State) hopes to keep his productive ways when his Avengers play the Las Vegas Gladiators at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas this Saturday at 3 p.m. ET on NBC.

Jackson has scored a touchdown in every game he has played in for the Avengers except one. His stunning numbers now stand at 121 touchdowns accounted for in 50 games. Jackson's streak of scoring at least one touchdown in every game of his AFL career ended at 47 games on May 10, 2003, against the Colorado Crush.

No player in League history has scored more touchdowns in more consecutive games to begin a career than Jackson. The former Cougar is Los Angeles' all-time leading receiver and scorer. He has racked up 359 receptions for 5,027 yards and scored 704 points in his five-year Avenger career.

If Los Angeles wins, it will be their 10th victory in their last 14 road games. If Las Vegas emerges victorious, it will give them a 1-1 series record against the Avengers.
