Retrieved May 31, 2010.</ref>  During the {{NFL Year|2004}} season, Jackson set a Seahawks franchise record with eighty-seven receptions (broken by [[Bobby Engram]] in 2007).  On December 18, 2005, he made his first appearance for the Seahawks after returning from an injury that he received playing the [[Washington Redskins]]; in this appearance, he helped carry the Seahawks to victory with a touchdown reception.

In [[Super Bowl XL]] Jackson tied the record for most receptions made in the first quarter of a [[Super Bowl]] with five, tying former [[Buffalo Bills]] wide receiver [[Andre Reed]].  Despite his brilliant performance, Seattle lost to the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] 21–10.  He was denied a touchdown catch in the first quarter, due to a controversial offensive [[pass interference]] penalty called by back judge Bob Waggoner.

In Seahawks franchise history he is fifth in receiving yards, fourth in receiving touchdowns and sixth in receptions.
