THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Alaric Jackson will make his first career playoff start in his hometown Sunday night, and he’s paying for it.
The ticket requests started coming in moments after his Los Angeles Rams’ matchup with the Detroit Lions was announced, and they didn’t stop. The Rams’ starting left tackle had to hit up his teammates and even the Lions to eventually come up with 75 tickets for family members and friends.

“I bought like $10K of tickets, dude,” Jackson said, shaking his head. “It’s a lot of family. I’m very inclusive and I love everybody. … And honestly, they’re all Lions fans, so it’s kind of like, forget them until after the game. I love you, but right now I’m busy.”
