Tyrique Stevenson could face challenging week as defense regroups

As for the Bears, they say they have moved on from the Tyrique Stevenson incident as a defensive back and will prepare to face the Arizona Cardinals.

Whether this is actually true remains to be seen, but there’s no reason to think there will be ramifications for what happened on the decisive Hail Mary pass.

Steveenson, after struggling early in the game, was seen interacting with fans as the final play began and had to fight to get back involved. The problem wasn’t so much his start but the fact that he didn’t do his job after the late start of the play when he rushed the ball instead of covering Noah Brown in the end zone to prevent him from catching one. deflections.

“He owned up to his mistakes,” safety Kevin Byard said. “He is a grown man, we are all adults and we will move on.

“We’re not going to keep thinking about the same thing. He recognized it and that’s all you can hope for.”

The Bears held a leadership meeting Monday when Stevenson apologized to all of them.

“Everything is taken out,” Byard said. “If there’s something that, like something I’ve discussed with Flus or something, bring it to light, just put it out there because you don’t want to have anything festering inside the locker room or in yourself that could come to light in a moment.” later point.

“You get everything out there, you say your peace, you say what needs to be said and then you look forward. You look forward to Arizona. It’s the 24 hour rule, maybe you need 36 hours. We don’t have our first day until Wednesday, maybe time it’s 48, do what you have to do to get it out of your system.

Play before the Hail Mary. Look at the top of the screen in the #bears sideline.

Stevenson also received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and was defeated on Jayden Daniels’ 61-yard pass to Terry McLaurin. He often plays with an advantage, but

Eberflus indicated that no sanctions would be announced for this type of thing, as they remain internal, if any.

I’m a fat Fullback and I love FB Dive, but that couldn’t have been the number one play on the goalie section of the call sheet. Give it to my boy Roschon = TD Bears… https://t.co/plRE4gjSXp

Instead, wait until next week’s practice. It’s going to be a tough week for Stevenson as he will be under close scrutiny.

Bears coaches have always held up backup Terell Smith and during his rookie years, they actually put Smith behind Stevenson at one point in training camp. Smith is healthy after an injury and if Pro Football Focus’ grades mean anything, he is the lowest-graded defensive player this year. He had a meager grade of 38.2 on Sunday.

Surely like him #bears He should start Terrell Smith for multiple reasons to send a message to Stevenson and the entire team that Stevenson’s behavior was totally unacceptable, as well as improve Stevenson’s current play at CB.

However, Stevenson has been an impact player and it would be difficult to see him lose his starting job in one or two plays in a game.

Not long ago, he was recovering a pick-6 for a game-winning touchdown against Tennessee in the opener.

“Obviously, this guy probably didn’t sleep last night,” Byard said. “You don’t want to beat a dead horse.”

The Bears have too much to worry about this week without worrying about the end of last week’s game.

Kyler Murray plays a lot like Jayden Daniels and authored a 28-27 comeback win over Miami and Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday and that’s more impressive than any win the Bears have had this year.
