Tyrique Stevenson Had The Absolute Best Comment On Will Levis’ Pick-6

0

The Chicago Bears had zero momentum toward the end of the first half against the Tennessee Titans. Few had it worse than cornerback Tyrique Stevenson. He was the victim of a tough moment when tight end Chig Okonkwo beat him for a touchdown to make it 17-0. Chicago trailed 17-3 at halftime, with the offense looking completely lost. It became clear everybody needed to pull together, or they would let a winnable game slip through their fingers.

Fittingly, the first spark came from a blocked punt by Daniel Hardy that Jonathan Owens returned for a touchdown. Chicago kept chipping away at the lead throughout the 3rd quarter, making 17-16 with just under ten minutes left to go. What followed was the most decisive sequence of the game. Titans quarterback Will Levis took the snap on 3rd and 6, hoping to get past midfield. Kyler Gordon came in on a corner blitz while DeMarcus Walker got pressure from his left. This forced Levis to scramble. Right before getting sacked, he desperately flipped the ball away, hoping for an incompletion.

It was there that Stevenson got his revenge

Tyrique Stevenson delivered the kill shot.

That in itself was delightful. He ended up having a really good performance, adding two pass defenses on top of the interception. Yet his best moment actually came after the final whistle when the Bears had won 24-17. He was asked about what Levis could’ve been thinking when he tried making that pass. Stevenson’s response was concise and dripping with sass.

“If he’s going to make dumb decisions like that, we’re going to make him pay for it.”

Ouch. Once again, Tyrique Stevenson proves himself to be not only a big-play weapon in the Bears’ secondary but also one of their best characters. It always seems like he has something entertaining to say. Jaylon Johnson is the superstar. Stevenson is quickly becoming the fan favorite. It is also worth noting this is his fifth interception in the past seven games. People didn’t think much of it when the Bears traded up for Stevenson last year. That might’ve been a mistake on their part.
