CLEVELAND — Bears coach Matt Eberflus took the blame for the Bears giving up a 57-yard pass to Marquise Goodwin on first-and-15 early in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 20-17 loss.
He said he was too aggressive.
“I’ve got to make a better call. …” he said. “Just a Cover 2 would have been a great call there.”
The Bears were in better coverage for Amari Cooper’s 51-yard touchdown catch and run, he said. Cooper caught the ball between safety Jaquan Brisker, cornerback Terell Smith and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and ran up the right sideline.
“That play should have been picked …” he said.
