The Chicago Bears were in for a shock when Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels threw a remarkable Hail Mary pass to win the game on Sunday. But what caught everyone’s attention even more was the behavior of Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson moments before the play unfolded. Videos circulating on social media showed Stevenson taunting Commanders fans as the game approached its conclusion.
Daniels launched the ball down the field towards a cluster of players, catching the Bears off guard as they failed to cover the back end. Noah Brown found himself unmarked in the end zone, and with a fortunate tip, he secured the game-winning touchdown with a score of 18-15.
Stevenson took to X to acknowledge his mistake and lack of focus, expressing regret for his actions and emphasizing the importance of staying alert until the final whistle. Head coach Matt Eberflaus addressed the play during the postgame press conference, highlighting the need for better execution and attention to detail in critical moments like these.
The Bears’ offense struggled for the most part of the game, with quarterback Caleb Williams completing only 10 of 24 passes for 131 yards and a quarterback rating of 59.5. Running back D’Andre Swift provided a glimmer of hope with a 56-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, followed by Roschon Johnson’s 1-yard touchdown run that briefly put the Bears in the lead with 25 seconds remaining. A successful 2-point conversion gave them a three-point advantage, but it was short-lived as Daniels and the Commanders snatched the victory in the final moments.
Despite the disappointing outcome, the Bears are determined to learn from their mistakes and make improvements moving forward. As they reflect on this heart-wrenching loss, they will undoubtedly use it as motivation to strive for better results in future games.
