Following the Chicago Bears’ game against the Baltimore Ravens, head coach Ben Johnson was asked about the injury that saw nickleback Kyler Gordon land on injured reserve on Saturday. “We’re hoping it’s going to be of the short-term variety, so we should be able to get him back,” Johnson said. “But yeah, it’s another soft […]
The Blackhawks might have been able to get away with some little miscues here and there against their last few opponents, but a good, veteran team like LA isn’t going to let them off the hook. They didn’t tonight. And it cost the Blackhawks a game with a few bad shifts early in the second period. This game started pretty well, though. There were really very few things to complain about after 20 minutes. The Blackhawks out-shot the Kings 11-6, had a 17-10 shot attempt advantage at 5-on-5, ...
The Ravens finally earned their second win of the year, and it will hopefully serve as a spark to get things back on track. It was a thrilling victory over the Chicago Bears, but not without its share of mistakes. Let talk about it. The Good Tyler Huntley: What a performance. Huntley came in and […]
Some early Week 9 odds are available from our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook, and they have the Chicago Bears as a 2.5-point road favorite over the Cincinnati Bengals. Earlier today, the Bears (4-3) were thoroughly whipped by the Baltimore Ravens, 30 to 16, in a game that saw Chicago dominate the first quarter statistically, but […]
Chicago’s South Side was on top of the world on this day, 20 years ago. The club completed one of the most impressive regular season and postseason runs ever, sweeping the Houston Astros to capture Chicago’s first World Series title since 1917. Eighty-eight years of misery were history the moment Juan Uribe charged Orlando Palmeiro’s […]
The Baltimore Ravens controlled both sides of the ball for most of their Week 8 matchup with the Chicago Bears on their way to a 30-16 victory. The Ravens were sitting at 1-5 entering the week with hopes of turning around their season with tweaks during the bye and the return of star quarterback Lamar […]
The Baltimore Ravens secured a much-needed victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 8, winning by a score of 30-16 at home to snap their losing streak. How did each position group fare in this game? Let’s break it down via a report card overview. Offense Quarterback: A- Tyler Huntley had the task of leading […]

Here are Baltimore Beatdown’s Roundtable Reactions to the team’s win: John Harbaugh and Zach Orr outcoached Ben Johnson, Todd Monken and Tyler Huntley led the offense to 30 points, and the Ravens took advantage of some great […]
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...
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...
For two completely separate reasons, the general sense was that both the Chicago Bears and Baltimore Ravens needed to win this game to keep long-term playoff hopes alive. On Sunday, Baltimore proved to be the hungrier team. Lamar Jackson didn’t suit up for the Ravens, but their offense was still able to have their way […]
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. But unlike the team’s first two trips, the th...
1931 White Sox founder and owner Charles Comiskey died in his home in Eagle River, Wis. He left his entire estate to his son, Louis Comiskey (including the White Sox) assets valued at $1,529,707 million (the equivalent to around $30 million today). Comiskey died in his sleep. He was 72 years old and had been suffering from heart […]
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...
So not only did the Chicago Bulls win their home opener for the first time since 2021-22, but they have started the year 2-0 for the first time since that same season. PLAYOFFS HERE WE COME! Box Score & Players Grades: Bulls 110, Magic 98 – October 25, 2025 I do not advise anyone to drastically change their views of this team after two games. As I said after Game 1, we are going to need a multi-week sample size before re-evaluating where the organization stands and wh...
The Chicago Bears will try to do something that they haven’t done since Matt Nagy was on the sideline, and that’s win five games in a row. In his first year as Chicago head coach (2018), Nagy’s Bears had a five-game stretch of wins en route to a 12-4 record and an NFC North title. […]
NFL WEEK 8: CHICAGO BEARS VS. BALTIMORE RAVENS — I couldn’t think of a better way to get geared up for a Chicago Bears game day than by watching Mic’d Up Ben Johnson: How big is this game? Well, the potential shift in playoff odds tells the story: PLAYOFF ODDS GOING INTO WEEK 8: 28 percent (via The Athletic) CHICAGO WINS : Postseason probabilities jump to 41 percent CHICAGO LOSES: Postseason probabilities fall to 21 percent So, yeah, there is a lot on the ...
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...
The Baltimore Ravens officially deactivated quarterback Lamar Jackson for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. Cornerback Jaire Alexander will join his close friend and college teammate on the sidelines after being deactivated for the fourth time out of seven games this season. Alexander arrived with much fanfare this offseason, but seems to be dealing with […]
The Baltimore Ravens are 1-5 heading into their Week 8 matchup with the Chicago Bears. They don’t have Lamar Jackson, but they desperately need a win on Sunday. A loss would drop their playoff odds from 34% to 26%, according to the Athletic; a victory would boost them to 42%, which still feels optimistic based […]
The Chicago Bears (4-2) and the Baltimore Ravens (1-5) will kick off at Noon (CT) on CBS from M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, and each team has just announced their inactive players for the game.

This is it. The Ravens have had their bye week. Lamar Jackson isn’t playing yet, but instead of Cooper Rush, it’s Tyler Huntley who is starting. If the Ravens win this, they have a chance to double up and get to 3-5 within a week. If they lose, they fall to 1-6, and their season […]
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 ...
