CHICAGO (WGN) — Drenched in sweat and standing in front of his locker at Halas Hall, Tyrique Stevenson faced the cameras just days ahead of a game that carries potential for redemption and an opportunity for him to emphatically turn the page on one play that defined his rookie season.
"I would have never changed," Stevenson said, in reference to his role in the Hail Mary loss at the Washington Commanders. "I feel like with that situation, it prepared me to grow and mature and accept whatever situations come with this game, to be able to stand on ten and look these men in the face when things don't go my way."
By now, the clip of Stevenson shortly before the play, dubbed the "Fail Mary" has run a conversational marathon through friend groups, social media and sports talk shows all around
