Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus, tight end Cole Kmet and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds met with reporters Monday to recap Sunday’s 20-17 loss to the Cleveland Browns.Here are three things we learned.1. Matt Eberflus said there are ‘three or four’ play calls he’d like back every game.One of those Sunday was Joe Flacco’s third-and-15 pass to David Njoku on the Browns’ winning field-goal drive late in the fourth quarter.“That one there, when it doesn’t work in a critical situation,” Eberflus said. “Of course you’d like to see it work in that situation, but it didn’t.”Eberflus sent Edmunds, nickel back Kyler Gordon and safety Jaquan Brisker to blitz on the play, and 6-foot-3, 309-pound defensive tackle Justin Jones dropped in coverage. Njoku got behind Jones, caught the pass that Flacco floated to him, broke a tackle by Tyrique Stevenson and got to the Bears 19 to set up Dustin Hopkins’ winning 34-yard f...

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump has lost his latest bid to end the business fraud lawsuit he faces in New York as he campaigns to reclaim the White House.Judge Arthur Engoron issued a written ruling Monday denying the Republican’s latest request for a verdict in his favor in a lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.And in doing so, the judge dismissed the credibility of one of Trump’s expert witnesses at the trial, a professor who testified that he saw no fraud in the former president’s financial statements.The trial is centered on allegations Trump and other company officials exaggerated his wealth and inflated the value of his assets to secure loans and close business deals.In the three-page ruling, Engoron wrote that the “most glaring” flaw of Trump’s argument was to assume that the testimony provided by Eli Bartov, an accounting professor at New York University, and other expert witnesses would be accepted by the court as “true and a...
