Dan Wiederer: Jaquan Brisker and the Chicago Bears make a statement that — for one night anyway — they won’t stay down long
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Sometimes life comes at you sliding with its cleats raised. And as hard as you may try to leap and dodge misfortune, a rogue spike might catch you right where you’d rather it not.
At that point, there’s a choice to make. Find a comfortable spot away from the chaos to curl up and whimper. Or come right back and try to make a statement.
You know where we’re headed here, right? Directly to rookie safety Jaquan Brisker’s locker stall late Monday at Gillette Stadium after the Chicago Bears’ stunning 33-14 romp against the New England Patriots.
It was Brisker who took a cleats-up slide to his, um, “area” early in the second quarter.
