Ravens 30, Bears 16: The Winning Streak Ends With a THUD

No Lamar Jackson, no problem for the Baltimore Ravens. But when it came to the Chicago Bears, there were lots of problems. All over the field. Offense. Defense. Coaching. Special teams. And the end result was a 30-16 win for the Ravens to snap the Bears’ four-game winning streak. FINAL: Baltimore Ravens 30, Chicago Bears 16 ( ESPN BOX SCORE ) Thoughts on a disappointing Week 8 loss Oct 26, 2025; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (14) ru...

Instant Bears Player Grades: It’s Going To Take Time, But That Was Pretty Awful

Growing pains. Growing pains. Growing pains. That’s what I have to keep telling myself after Bears games like this. Having said that, this one sucked. Lack of execution in all three phases. Poorly timed mistakes. Brutal special teams effort. It felt like a game like this was overdue after a few tight wins against bad teams. Baltimore’s record is bad, but they’re a good team, even without Lamar Jackson. They made the Bears pay for their sloppiness today. Bears Instant Grades Offe...

FINALLY! Bears Get a Red Zone TD to Cut Ravens Lead

The fourth quarter is off to a roaring start for the Chicago Bears. Facing a 10-point deficit to start the period, the Bears punched in a touchdown with a D’Andre Swift run: . @DAndreSwift punches it in for 6 : CBS pic.twitter.com/NCq6qrncTh — Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) October 26, 2025 This score came after a huge third down screen pass from quarterback Caleb Williams to Swift, which gave the Bears a 1st-and-goal situation.

Blackhawks vs Kings — Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

After a big win in Tampa, the Blackhawks come home one of the hotter teams in the entire National Hockey League. They’ll welcome the Los Angeles Kings to the United Center for an early evening game on a Sunday. The Kings lost 5-4 in Nashville in a shootout last night, so they’re coming in off a late night with travel. The Hawks had a nice skate at Fifth Third on Saturday to get back to work tonight. Let’s see if the Hawks can keep their momentum moving forward with another win. Broad...

Best Start Since 2021, Depth is a Real Strength, Patrick Williams Doing Things, and Other Bulls Bullets

Anže Kopitar’s Last Visit and Appreciating the Greatness of Blackhawks Opponents

This evening’s game at the United Center might, to some, look like just another good test for a young Blackhawks team against a stronger veteran lineup in the Western Conference that many feel could be a contender. But for some others, there’s a bittersweet significance. On Saturday, the Los Angeles Kings activated their captain, future Hall of Fame center , off injured reserve. Which means he’s available for tonight to be the final time he skates against the Blackhawks at the United Cent...

Dodgers Even It Up, Yamamoto Again, Steele Rehab and Contract, and Other Cubs Bullets

The Bears get to face the Ravens’ back-up quarterback today, but they do it without all three of their starting corners. So who has the better injury advantage there? The Dodgers evened the World Series last night, winning Game Two the way they’ve been the best this postseason: riding their starting pitcher. Yoshinobu Yamamoto threw his second straight complete game, allowing just one run. The complete game from Yamamoto marked the first time since 2001(!) that a ...
