Baltimore – The Baltimore Ravens ended their four-game losing streak with a decisive 30-16 victory over the Chicago Bears, thanks to an impressive performance by quarterback Tyler Huntley. Huntley stepped in for star quarterback Lamar Jackson, who missed his third consecutive game due to a hamstring injury. This win improved the Ravens’ record to 2-5 and kept their playoff hopes alive.
In his first start of the season, Huntley demonstrated his capability by completing 17 of 22 passes for 186 yards and one touchdown, all while avoiding turnovers. In addition to his passing efficiency, he showcased his dual-threat ability by rushing for 53 yards on eight carries. Huntley’s passer rating of 116.9 marked the highest of his career in a starting role.
The Ravens’ offensive strategy appeared tailored to Huntley’s strengths, with an emphasis on short passing and effective rushing. The team averaged 8.5 yards per pass attempt and tallied a total of 177 rushing yards on 35 carries, averaging 5.1 yards per rush. Huntley’s efficient performance alleviated pressure on the offensive line, which improved throughout the game.
Baltimore scored on six of their eight drives, finding the end zone on all three of their goal-to-go opportunities. The Ravens’ scoring unit resembled their high-powered offense more closely than during previous games. The Ravens’ defense also played a critical role, limiting the Bears to just 16 points after initially allowing six points during Chicago’s first two drives. Notably, the Bears, who came into the game as the league leaders in takeaways, failed to generate any turnovers against Huntley.
Despite a tough outing for Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, who threw for 285 yards but committed one interception and did not score a touchdown, the Bears’ performance was also hindered by several penalties, including multiple intentional grounding calls. This disrupted their offensive flow throughout the match.
Coach John Harbaugh commended Huntley’s performance, suggesting it was among the best in his career. Huntley received strong support from his offensive teammates, who noted his effective preparation and positive demeanor leading into the game. The cohesive effort displayed by the Ravens across all three phases – offense, defense, and special teams – was crucial for establishing control over the game.
With this victory, the Ravens are set to face the Miami Dolphins in their upcoming Thursday night game, aiming to build momentum and continue their pursuit of a playoff spot.
The Ravens entered this game in a precarious position. Following a dismal start to the season, the team needed a win to keep their postseason aspirations alive. Ending the Bears’ four-game winning streak has provided a much-needed boost of confidence as they prepare for their next matchup.
