The Bears had their backs against the wall with Aaron Rodgers within striking distance. Then something happened that was a long time coming.

Eddie Jackson hauled in the first intercepted pass thrown by Rodgers in 403 attempts. It’s still an NFL record for Rodgers, just one that isn’t active any more. And thank goodness!
Unfortubarely, Jackson went down at the end of the play with an apprent leg injury when he tried to give himself up after the interception. Jackson limped off the field, headed to the medical tent, and eventually into the locker room.
We’ll continue to monitor for updates on Jackson’s injury and will share more when they become available.
