Chicago Bears safety Eddie Jackson is not pleased he has been robbed off multiple pick-sixes already this season.
Chicago led 13-6 on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers when Jackson appeared to intercept a deflected pass and take it to the house.
But the touchdown was taken away after the Bears were called for defensive pass interference.
One fan pointed out the refereeing did not seem consistent, as Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller was called for the aforementioned pass interference, while a Panthers corner was not called for the same penalty on a nearly identical play.

Jackson also openly vented about the fact he has been robbed of padding the stat sheet.

The 27-year-old might not have the counting stats, but he has helped solidify Chicago's secondary as the Bears have gotten off to a 5-1 start.
Jackson already has 32 combined tackles and a forced fumble this season. He has yet to record a single pass defended this year, but has nonetheless been fairly steady at the third level.
Of course, Jackson would undoubtedly like to bring a few back for touchdowns. He returned a pair of interceptions for scores during his 2018 All-Pro season, one that cemented the former Alabama product as one of the best safeties in the NFL.
Still, the Bears are rolling along after beating the Carolina Panthers. The Monsters of the Midway also pulled into a tie with the Green Bay Packers atop the NFC North after Green Bay lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon.
Jackson would undoubtedly welcome more consistent refereeing. But he will also be glad to be on a Chicago team off to its best start since 2012.
