Tyrique Stevenson intercepts a Sam Darnold pass on MNF

Tyrique Stevenson being on the right side of a highlight clip is a surprise, to be sure — and a welcome one.

That’s how it looked when the Chicago Bears cornerback intercepted a Sam Darnold pass on Monday Night Football:

OK, so the Bears did nothing with the turnover. But still…it was nice to see Tyrique Stevenson do something good for a change. It’s been a trying year for the second-year player. The Bears haven’t been the same since his late-game gaffe against the Washington Commanders in Week 8. And neither has Stevenson. So after watching Chicago get shredded through the air before the pick, I’ll allow myself to enjoy the momentary slice of good defensive play.

Even with the interception, the Bears trail the Vikings by a 10-0 score. There hasn’t been much to write home about on the offensive side of the ball. But if there is, we’ll share it in a later post.
