TORONTO -- Ottawa receiver Ernest Jackson didn't drop a ball all season. So when Henry Burris threw a pass his way in overtime at the Grey Cup, things looked bright.
Uncharacteristically, Jackson bobbled the ball. But after treating it like a hot potato, he hauled it in for an 18-yard TD that proved to be the winning margin in the REDBLACKS' 39-33 upset win Sunday over the Calgary Stampeders.
"A couple of bobbles. I was just so excited to see the end zone wide open," said a smiling Jackson. "I bobbled the ball up and I just focused on it and finished (the catch).
The sure-handed Jackson finished with 10 catches for 96 yards.
He hauled in 88 passes for 1,225 yards and 10 touchdowns during the regular season.
