Chicago Bears rookie defensive back Jaquan Brisker snagged his first career interception of his career under the bright lights of Monday Night Football against the New England Patriots.
The former Penn State star jumped high in the air, picking off Patriots quarterback Mac Jones. Watch the incredible highlight below.
The interception was payback. Shortly before the interception, Jones slid to the ground and accidentally kicked Brisker in the crotch and was writhing on the ground following the unfortunate moment.

Following the pick, Jones was sent to the sidelines and replaced by rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe. Under Zappe, the Patriots marched down the field and scored the opening touchdown of the night for New England.

New England Patriots bench Mac Jones in favor of Bailey Zappe
Mac Jones returned from a severe ankle injury on Monday, playing for the first time since Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. Thus far against the Chicago Bears, it’s been tough going for the New England Patriots on offense. Because of that, head coach Bill Belichick has decided to make an in-game switch at quarterback.
Bailey Zappe is now in for New England, taking over early in the second quarter. He has been the Patriots’ starter for the past three weeks, guiding the team to a 2-1 record. With Jones now struggling, Belichick is going back to somebody who has been solid over the past few games.
When Jones left the game, he was three of six with just 13 yards and a bad interception. In his one drive, Zappe has surpassed the former first-round pick and then some, completing all three passes for 54 yards and a touchdown. It looked incredibly easy out there for the Western Kentucky product.
