LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Chicago Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson could be seen taunting fans seconds before he and his teammates gave up a Hail Mary touchdown with time expired to lose to the Washington Commanders 18-15 on Sunday.
Video posted on social media showed Stevenson pointing toward the stands and raising his arms in the air with his back to the play when the ball was snapped. He was late to get to the play and missed the chance to prevent Zach Ertz from tipping the ball up for Noah Brown to catch in the end zone.
Stevenson posted an apology later on social media, saying: “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.”
The Bears, who were coming off their bye, had their winning streak ended at three.
