Coming out of the Bears’ 25-24 win at the Commanders on Monday, nobody was discussing cornerback Tyrique Stevenson.
“Perfect,” he told the Sun-Times on Thursday. “The best thing you can do as a corner is do your job so well that nobody talks about you. … To have a quarterback not even want to throw the ball at you, that’s the best recognition you could get.”
Stevenson had no official targets out of Jayden Daniels’ 26 passes, which was a strong sign of tight coverage.
The performance was a good step as Stevenson tries to prove his reliability. A year earlier, he was a punchline in the NFL for wandering — mentally and literally — as the Commanders beat the Bears on Daniels’ last-second heave into the end zone. The ball bounced to wide receiver Noah Brown, whom Stevenson was supposed to be covering.
It’ll take a lot to turn that ugly moment into a mere footnote, but Stevenson is moving in the right direction.
“Just to go back there and do my job well and make sure I’m on it and give the quarterback some type of nervousness about looking at me, it definitely felt good,” he said.
Stevenson played well in his return to Northwest Stadium on Monday, a good step in his mission to prove himself reliable.

Fifteen minutes after the Bears had stolen their second straight road win, tight end Cole Kmet stood at his locker, shook his head and smiled. He knew this feeling, but usually from the other side.
