Bears coach Matt Eberflus offers no public accountability for Tyrique Stevenson

Matt Eberflus refused to say Wednesday whether cornerback Tyrique Stevenson would start Sunday against the Cardinals one week after he committed a blunder that turned into national news.

Stevenson had his back to the snap when Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels took the snap and ran around for almost 13 seconds before heaving a Hail Mary toward the end zone. Stevenson sprinted toward the middle of the end zone from the back right flank where he had been gesturing toward fans. Rather than box out receiver Noah Brown, who was positioned behind a scrum of players to await a tipped pass, the Bears cornerback leapt for the ball.
