He has played for the New York Jets, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, and San Francisco 49ers, and was picked in the 3rd round of the 1994 NFL Draft by San Francisco out of University of California, Berkeley. He is most well-known for missing two crucial field goal attempts in the final two minutes of the New York Jets' 2005 AFC divisional playoff game with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was fired a couple of months after the game, but later hired by the Chicago Bears, from who he was fired from later on in the 2005 season.

As a rookie, Brien won a Super Bowl ring with the 49ers after their 49-26 victory over the San Diego Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX.
