Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson will have to explain his most famous play to his son one day. He’s got plenty of time to sort it out — Tyrique Jr. is only 6 months old — but he knows the lesson he wants to impart.

“When you (are) in the game, it’s a mind-over-matter mentality — just stick to the basics, do your job,” he said. “And when the clock hits double-zero, then you celebrate.”

It took almost a year, but Stevenson seems to understand the gravity of his Fail Mary.
