Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver DeSean Jackson got off to a rocky start with his new team, but he made his presence felt on Thanksgiving against the Dallas Cowboys. Jackson got the scoring started with a 56-yard touchdown reception on a dime by Derek Carr and finished with three catches for 102 yards in the 36-33 overtime win.

Friday, Jackson took to Instagram with a simple message:

Jackson's first game with the Raiders against the Kansas City Chiefs featured an epic gaffe, and then he didn't have a single target in an ugly loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last weekend. Las Vegas dropped to 5-5 with that loss to the Bengals, so getting this road win over the Cowboys was especially important to stop a three-game slide after a 5-2 start.

With Jackson playing a key role, the Raiders' offense was dominant against Dallas. Vegas racked up 509 yards of offense, with Carr throwing for 373 yards on the day. They also were the beneficiaries of a bunch of Cowboys penalties, including a number of defensive pass interference calls.

Jackson recently joined the Raiders after getting released by the Los Angeles Rams. The veteran is hoping to be part of a team that can contend for a Super Bowl. While Vegas isn't currently in the AFC playoff picture with a 6-5 record, a lot can still change over the course of the rest of the season with so many teams bunched up. There will be plenty of jockeying for position in the coming weeks.
