The Chicago Bears’ defensive back, Tyrique Stevenson, is the sickest man in the country right now.
Earlier in the week, Stevenson upgraded from limited work both Wednesday and Thursday to a full session Friday, suggesting he would play on Sunday against the Washington Commanders.
Now, the team likely wishes he had stayed out.
Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders pulled off a miracle.
With his Commanders trailing the Chicago Bears 15–12 in the closing seconds and the ball at their own 48-yard line, Daniels received plenty of time to get ready to throw his best ball of the day as he unleashed the ball toward the goal line on a Hail Mary attempt.
His prayer was answered.
The ball was tipped and fell right into receiver Noah Brown’s hands.
Footage surfaced online showing Chicago Bears defensive back Tyrique Stevenson mocking Washington Commanders fans just as the final play began.
Eventually, he turned around and realized the final play had started, and he began to do his job.
Unfortunately for the second-year Chicago Bears player, he would be the one to jump high into the air and tip the ball as it went into the hands of Noah Brown.
The ball went nearly 70 yards in the air and wound up exactly where it needed to be.
#Bears DB Tyrique Stevenson (#29) was ridiculing #Commanders fans before the Hail Mary.
He ended up being the player who tipped the ball to Noah Brown.
You can’t make this up. Holy cow.

Chicago Bears Suffer Demoralizing Loss
The Chicago Bears had a chance to be three games above .500 and tied in the loss column with the Vikings and Packers in the NFC North.
Trailing 15-12 with no time on the clock, Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels avoided the Chicago Bears’ pass rush on the final play and unleashed a hail mary that would be caught.
The Bears would fall to 4-3 and now have sole possession of last place in the division.
