Bears' Tyrique Stevenson apologizes for 'lack of focus' on Commanders' Hail Mary play Bears CB Tyrique Stevenson taunts Commanders fans before Hail Mary (0:47) ESPN News Services Oct 27, 2024, 10:29 PM ET Share LikeLike Open Extended Reactions LikeLaughFire 5.8K LANDOVER, Md. -- Chicago Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson apologized Sunday night after he was seen taunting the Washington crowd seconds before he and his teammates gave up a Hail Mary touchdown with time expired to lose to the Commanders 18-15.
Video posted on social media showed Stevenson pointing toward the stands and raising his arms in the air with his back to the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped. He was late to get to the play, then tipped the ball up, only for Washington wideout Noah Brown to catch it in the end zone.
"To Chicago and teammates my apologies for lack of awareness and focus," Stevenson wrote on social media. "The game ain't over until zeros hit the clock. Can't take anything for granted. Notes taken, improvement will happen."
The Bears, who were coming off their bye, had
their winning streak ended at three.
"It comes down to that last play, and we've practiced that play a hundred times since we've been here," Bears coach Matt Eberflus said. "I'll have to look at what the execution was on that, but we have a body on a body, boxing guys out like basketball at the very end. We have one guy at the rim that knocks the ball down. We've got a tip guy that goes behind the pile. I've got to look at it and detail it out and make sure we're better next time."
The Bears had just gone ahead with 25 seconds left on Roschon Johnson's 1-yard touchdown run.
