"DeSean Jackson's game-winning punt return against the Giants on Sunday was the fourth touchdown return of his three-year career.
But the Pro Bowl wideout and return specialist isn't chasing the mountaintop.
"Nah, man, I don't play the game to go out and break people's records," Jackson said Wednesday when asked about the NFL record for touchdown returns, held by Chicago Bears receiver and returner Devin Hester.
Hester took a punt back 64 yards against the Vikings on Monday night for his 14th touchdown return, breaking the record formerly held by Brian Mitchell.
Mitchell, who played for the Redskins, Eagles and Giants in a 14-year career, had 13 returns for touchdowns, four of them while playing in Philadelphia from 2000-02.
"I play to have fun," Jackson continued. "Not to say that he's not doing a great job because he's obviously a great returner, but I'm focused on more of stuff that I have to do. I'm not trying to catch nobody else."
By "stuff," Jackson presumably meant his chores as a wide receiver, which he clearly prioritizes over his return skills.
When asked why he's not targeting Hester's return record, Jackson flipped the question and wondered why Hester isn't asked about matching Jackson's skills as a receiver?
"Everybody's wondering about his record -- ask him who's a better receiver," Jackson said.
Jackson, whose 1,024 receiving yards this season ranks seventh in the NFL, has cracked the 1,000-yard barrier in consecutive seasons. He also has six touchdowns this season and an NFL-best 22.8 yards-per-catch average."
