Carton Urges NFL Probe of 1 Bears DB After 7-Yard Gap on Patriots TD

Craig Carton said the NFL should investigate Bears defensive back Malik Muhammad after a late first-half play in Thursday night's game against New England.
Rhamondre Stevenson turned a screen pass at midfield into a touchdown as time expired, and Carton argued Muhammad appeared to run away from the ball carrier instead of filling the lane.
Carton said the play feeds gambling-integrity concerns around legalized sports betting and called on the league to interview Muhammad and Bears coach Ben Johnson for an explanation.
Chicago still won the game and covered the spread, limiting the play's impact on the result even as Carton said it deserved league scrutiny.
