"Stevenson Earns NFC Defensive Player of the Week Honors"

Chicago Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson has been awarded the NFC Defensive Player of the Week after an outstanding performance against the Falcons, which included two interceptions and a game-high four pass breakups. Stevenson, a rookie who has started all 15 games this season, has been a key player for the Bears' defense, leading with 15 pass breakups and tying for the lead with four interceptions. His recent success is attributed to his increased comfort on the field. He is the second Bears player to receive a player of the week award this year and the first Bears rookie to do so since Eddie Jackson in 2017.
