LANDOVER, Md. — Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson wrote an apology on social media Sunday night after turned his back to the snap at taunted Commanders fans at the start of the game-ending Hail Mary touchdown.
Stevenson eventually ran toward the center of the end zone before quarterback Jayden Daniels threw it after holding the ball for almost 13 seconds. The ball was tipped out of a pile of receivers and defensive backs and landed in Noah Brown’s arms for a touchdown. Brown was uncovered, and the Commanders won 18-15 at Northwest Stadium.
To Chicago and teammates my apologies for lack of awareness and focus …. The game ain’t over until zeros hit the clock. Can’t take anything for granted. Notes taken, improvement will happen. #Beardown

“To Chicago and teammates, my apologies for lack of awareness and focus …” he wrote on social media. “The game ain’t over until zeros hit the clock. Can’t take everything for granted. Notes taken, improvement will happen.”
Stevenson did not speak to the media after the game, but is expected to Monday.

He was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the last play of the third quarter and jawed with Commanders players for most of the game.
