Tim Jennings pleased with interceptions

Tim Jennings has said that he got a "good read" to intercept an Eli Manning pass before returning it for a touchdown.

The Chicago Bears cornerback took two interceptions during the 27-21 win over the New York Giants last night, carrying the first 48 yards into the end zone to open the scoring for the NFC North side.

The 29-year-old told reporters: "I had a good read on it. I had a good break on it. I don't know what the receiver did because I was just playing the quarterback the whole time. He threw it and I had a good bead on it and I was able to get my hands on it with nobody in front of me.

"They went back to a play that they ran a couple plays earlier, the one I actually got my hands on. I guess they saw something. We were in cover-three and I was there to make the tackle. But I saw the ball tipped and I was able to get my hands on it.

"Our safeties continue to play great and I was able to make a couple plays on the ball. But hopefully we get [Charles Tillman] back as soon as possible."

Jennings has 19 tackles, two forced fumbles and three interceptions in total this season.
