The Chicago Bears let a winnable game slip away from them at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Much like the loss to the Minnesota Vikings in week one, this was a game that the Bears will almost surely look back upon at the end of the season with regret. Could have, […]
During the Chicago Bears’ four-game winning streak, they received pick-me-ups from all three phases, but yesterday against the Baltimore Ravens, they were let down by all three. I’ll even throw in the coaching, because the game plan on both sides of the ball had some issues. That said, the Bears were facing a Ravens team […]
Another rough injury to the Chicago Bears’ defense. This time, it is rookie defensive lineman Shemar Turner whose season is over with a torn ACL, per head coach Ben Johnson. Turner, one of the Bears’ three 2nd round picks in the 2025 NFL draft, was having a solid rookie year with 6 tackles and 2 […]
Going into Sunday, the Chicago Bears had a chance to rid themselves once again of the demons that haunted them in 2024, breaking through a (4-2) start with an additional win to match their 2024 win total seven games into the season. Instead, the team will leave Baltimore with many more questions than answers after […]
Sloppy play continued to spoil the Chicago Bears’ efforts this week, this time too much to overcome. Let’s get to my notes. Offense: Defense: Special Teams: What about you? What were some of your top takeaways from the loss in Baltimore?
There are some persistent issues plaguing the Chicago Bears this season, but nothing more so than the penalties. The Bears have been flagged more than their opponents in every game this year, and in Sunday’s 30 to 16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, they were penalized 11 times for 79 yards, while Baltimore was penalized […]
After an ugly 30-16 loss against the Baltimore Ravens, the Chicago Bears fell to 4-3. This loss ends a four-game winning streak for the team. From the poor quarterback play, bad kick-off coverage, play calling, lack of separation from receivers, inability to capitalize in the red zone, and the multitude of penalties, there’s a lot […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 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. […]
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.

Good morning. The Chicago Bears are on a four-game winning streak. As always, there are questions surrounding how this team got there and how they can keep it going, but the wins in the win column over the last four weeks have spoken for themselves. This time, the Bears, who have won behind stopping the […]
Hello, Chicago Bears fans! Welcome to this week’s prediction column where the WCG contributors give us their predictions for this week’s matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Baltimore Ravens, in Baltimore at 12:00pm CST this Sunday. This week’s predictions came at a time of great uncertainty – some of our contributors made their predictions […]
The last time the Chicago Bears played the Baltimore Ravens, linebacker Roquan Smith racked up 17 tackles for the Bears in a 16 to 13 loss. The following season (2022), Chicago traded him to Baltimore when they couldn’t agree on terms for a new contract, and he’s been a First-Team All-Pro every year since. This […]
A fourth consecutive win didn’t change the minds of the 4% of our fans who aren’t buying what the Chicago Bears are selling. Last week’s confidence poll results checked in at 96% and we’re holding steady there this week. Maybe last week’s 26 to 14, wire-to-wire win over the New Orleans Saints wasn’t impressive enough […]
So much for that Caleb Williams-Lamar Jackson showdown we were hoping to see. Jackson, who was rumored to be a game-time decision for Sunday’s game after practicing in “full” on Friday, will sit out the contest with his hamstring injury not fully healed. Turns out the Ravens were playing games with the injury report and, […]
The NFL season is an evolving state of affairs, and week 8 on the road against a hobbled and desperate 1-5 Baltimore Ravens squad coming off a BYE is a prime example of how much can change in a short period of time in this league. In this weekly series, I’ll be featuring one player […]
On Saturday, the Chicago Bears made a couple of unexpected roster moves when they placed left tackle Braxton Jones and nickleback Kyler Gordon on injured reserve. Jones, who was limited at Wednesday’s practice but didn’t practice on Thursday or Friday with a knee injury, was serving as the backup left tackle since Theo Benedet won […]
The Baltimore Ravens have ruled two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson out for their Sunday matchup against the Chicago Bears, the team announced on X on Saturday. Jackson worked with Baltimore’s scout team, generally indicating he would be unavailable for the game. They had previously announced him as a full participant in practice near the end […]

The final injury reports have been revealed for Sunday’s game between the Chicago Bears and the Baltimore Ravens, and while some things are trending positively for the (4-2) Bears, they’ll have several injuries to work around this week. Chicago has already ruled out running back Roschon Johnson (back), offensive tackle Braxton Jones (knee), tight end […]
In what can only be described as a strain in the groin, the Chicago Bears’ cornerback depth is getting thinner by the week. What looked like a true strength to enter the season, the Bears’ CB room may have been top 3 in the league. That is nine players that you could stack up against […]
Opening blurb. 1.) 1979, Bears @ Vikings: Walter Payton makes history (again) On a cold and blustery October afternoon, the 3–4 Chicago Bears squared off against the 3–4 Minnesota Vikings. In a back-and-forth battle, the Bears jumped out to an early 14–3 lead, highlighted by a 54-yard touchdown strike from Walter Payton to Brian Baschnagel, […]
