DeSean Jackson had six 100-yard games on opening day and six more in Week 2, both tied for the most in NFL history; Michael Irvin also had six in Week 1, and Julio Jones had six in Week 2. Jackson's 12 combined 100-yard games in the first two weeks of the season are one more than Jones accumulated in his entire Hall of Fame career. Four of Jackson's six 100-yard openers were with the Eagles, one with Washington, and one with Tampa; five of his six Week 2 100-yard games came as an Eagle and one with Tampa. Jackson had 39 career 100-yard games total, meaning 30 percent came in the first two weeks of the season. His career total of 2,008 receiving yards in Week 1 and Week 2 combined ranks 10th-most in NFL history.
