Chicago Bears 7, Baltimore Ravens 31
Just when I thought the Chicago Bears’ (5-9) passing game couldn’t look any worse, they failed to put up 100 passing yards and threw four interception in their loss to the Baltimore Ravens (8-6) Sunday. Jay Cutler managed only 98 yards on 10/27 passes, throwing 3 interceptions and 0 touchdowns. The Bears running game did their best to make up for no passing game, gaining 122 yards as a team. Matt Forte had 69 yards on 20 carries and lost a fumble, while Kahlil Bell ran much better for 30 yards on 6 carries. Rashied Davis also lost a fumble, giving the Bears offense a total of 6 turnovers.
The Bears defense were obviously given no help from their offense, but they were pretty bad themselves. They let Ravens’ quarterback Joe Flacco pick apart their secondary, going 21/29 for 234 yards and 4 touchdowns. They also let Ravens’ running back Ray Rice break tackles all day, finishing with 87 yards on just 16 carries (5.4 avg). The Bears took a big step back after playing the Packers tough last game. It will be interesting to see what the Bears’ plans are for their future, especially their coaching.
