Bears’ Matt Eberflus Addresses Tyrique Stevenson’s Future After Late Game Blunder

While Stevenson publicly apologized twice, the head coach still faced more questions about the cornerback’s status.

The Chicago Bears won’t be able to escape being on the wrong end of the Washington Commanders’ Hail Mary in Week 8 anytime soon, and that includes Bears cornerback Tyrique Steveson’s future.

Stevenson got caught being distracted and taunting Commanders fans before the final play began in an 18-15 loss. That only helped Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels find wide receiver Noah Brown on a 52-yard pass play, popularly known as a Hail Mary, for the win.
