Tyrique Stevenson continues to elevate his play despite Bears' banged-up defense

Against the Detroit Lions in Week 2, Chicago Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson had one of his worst games of his NFL career.

The third-year cornerback gave up five receptions on five targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 52-21 beatdown at Ford Field.

It was an eye-opening game for Stevenson, serving as a reminder that the NFL will humble a player if they slip up in their preparation. Since that performance against the Lions, Stevenson has drastically improved his play.

Against the Dallas Cowboys and Las Vegas Raiders, Stevenson has been targeted 12 times, but has only given up three receptions for 16 yards.
