Bears receiver Chase Claypool said he was tired of losing.

His sideline outburst Sunday prompted exchanges with receivers coach Tyke Tolbert and eventually quarterback Justin Fields, who tried to calm him down in the third quarter of a a 41-10 blowout loss.

Claypool left the postgame locker room as the media was entering. Speaking for the first time about the incident Thursday, he said he had grown tired of offensive struggles against the Lions.

“I was all fired up because we can’t lose that bad, ever,” he said.
