CHICAGO >> Chicago Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson apologized to his teammates for motioning to the crowd and having his back turned when the Washington Commanders snapped the ball on their winning Hail Mary touchdown pass as time expired and vowed not to do it again.

“I let the moment get too big and it’s something that can never happen again and won’t ever happen again,” he said Monday, a day after a gut-wrenching 18-15 loss.

Stevenson addressed the team without prompting during a meeting Monday.

Video showed Stevenson pointing toward the stands and raising his arms in the air with his back to the play — he said because he was cheering with Bears fans — when the ball was snapped. When he realized what was happening, he sprinted toward the middle of the field.

Coach Matt Eberflus said Stevenson was supposed to block out Noah Brown. Instead, he went up for the pass and the ball was tipped to Brown for a TD.
