Bears’ Season Ends in OT Loss to Rams as Brisker’s Future Becomes Offseason Focus

Chicago faces an offseason defined by Jaquan Brisker’s free agency under tight cap constraints.

Overview

  • The Rams won 20-17 on Harrison Mevis’ 42-yard field goal in overtime after Kam Curl intercepted Caleb Williams.
  • Caleb Williams had forced overtime with a late touchdown pass to Cole Kmet before the decisive turnover.
  • Safety Jaquan Brisker delivered a standout performance with a team-high 14 tackles, a sack, a quarterback hit, and two passes defensed.
  • Brisker expressed that the loss “stung” and said he wants to return, but he enters unrestricted free agency as reports note a concussion in each of his first three seasons and limited cap space for Chicago.
  • Players said the locker room will change after a season that exceeded expectations with an NFC North title and the No. 2 seed.
