One day after cornerback Tyrique Stevenson said he didn’t want his Fail Mary gaffe to define him, Bears cornerbacks coach Jon Hoke said Friday he had a lot to deal with in the aftermath of the Commanders’ game-winning touchdown.
“Let’s be honest: It’s a tough one, especially in this city where football matters,” Hoke said. “He gets introduced the next game and he gets booed and all that. It’s tough.”
Hoke acknowledged the effect of the gaffe— “We had some tough games after that,” he said — but said sensed that Stevenson’s teammates remained supportive.
