Ravens vs Bears: Teams Should Always Fear Ravens After a Bye Week

Following a bye week that helped important Ravens players recover from persistent injuries, Baltimore took on a Bears team that was on a four-game winning streak. John Harbaugh was facing heavy criticism fo a 1 and 5 start going into the game. The Chicago Bears had much to fear going into Baltimore to play. Since taking over as head coach in 2008, John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens had a remarkable record of 13-4 in games played right after a bye week, showcasing the team's ability to use the rest to regroup and dominate when they return.

Sure enough Sunday was no different. The Baltimore Ravens looked much better and the defense continues to show improvement. Tyler Huntley got the start in place of of an injured Lamar Jackson and Huntley played very well. Way better than Cooper Rush and that's for sure! Ravens went on to chase the the frightened Bears out of Baltimore with a final score of 30 to 16.

Ravens Bully Bears 31 to 7

The Baltimore Ravens looked explosive for the second week in a row and bully the Chicago Bears from start to finish. Todd Heap arose from the dead for a pair of touchdowns and Flacco looked flawless with four touchdown passes. Jay Cutler threw three picks and the Ravens took advantage of it.

Ray Rice had 87 yards rushing and Flacco spread the ball around very well and even D. Williams got in on the action. It was a very good win and I look forward to playing the Pittsburgh Steelers next week.

2 more wins and we are in the playoffs!!!

Ray Rice is Nice!

I'm watching the Baltimore Ravens play the Chicago Bears and it is only the first quarter and I'm already impressed with the play of Ray Rice. He already has a few explosive plays and Ravens are up 14 to 0.

Ravens vs Bears Game Pushed Back to 4:15pm

The game which was originally scheduled for 1:00 pm has been pushed back to 4:15 pm due to the blizzard that has hit the east coast. The Bears team flight to Baltimore was delayed yesterday due to the bad weather conditions.

This should be a Ravens win on paper, but it will be interesting to see how the Ravens play today. We need this win to keep our playoff hopes alive!

The Ravens Defense is Still There!

Many Baltimore Ravens fans are led to believe that the Ravens defense isn't what it used to be. I agree that is not close to the 2000 Superbowl year defense which was in my opinion the greatest of all time but it is still one of the best in the league.

Let's take a look at the numbers. The Ravens have giving up the third fewest points in the NFL so far. The Ravens are #1 in giving up the fewest touchdowns in the NFL right now. This is very impressive considering othe problems with our secondary this year.

The bottom line is that the defense brings it when they need to in the red zone and doesn't give up many touchdowns. Yes, the Baltimore Ravens defense is still worth taking pride in. I look forward to beating the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
