Bears safety Jaquan Brisker finally got his interception — at the perfect moment

Bears safety Jaquan Brisker finally got his interception.

With about a minute left in Sunday’s 24-18 win, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was hit by defensive end Darrell Taylor and fluttered a ball to Brisker at the 18. He caught the ball, slid and started celebrating.

“It felt good getting a game-winning pick,” Brisker said.

Brisker thought he had an interception about two minutes into the second quarter when he snatched a pass intended for tight end Colby Parkinson. He and Parkinson had been running out of bounds, though, and replay showed Brisker didn’t re-establish himself in bounds before picking off the pass.
