Chicago’s football franchise is no longer the sad news Bears. They aren’t going to win a Super Bowl title in 2025, but Chicago is good enough to cause a lot of problems for the Ravens on Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium in a “must-win” situation for Baltimore.

Kyle Monangai's breakout in the running attack alongside D'Andre Swift says the Bears have found a necessary component to offset passing game inconsistency.

The Bears won their fourth consecutive game on Sunday to improve their record to 4-2. The Ravens licked their wounds during their bye week, nursing a 1-5 record and hoping to reverse a four-game losing streak. The betting odds, however, suggest that the Ravens aren't as bad as their record would suggest, and the Bears aren't as good.

"Blue collar football" supposedly, is run-focused, low scoring, and places a strong emphasis on playing great defense.

Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken believes the Ravens took a step forward versus the Rams, but they'll evaluate scheme tweaks during the bye. ILB Roquan Smith said he expects to return to action against the Bears in Week 8. The Ravens need to improve in short-yardage and goal-to-go situations during the bye.
