Game Recap: Ravens Defeat Bears to End Four-Game Skid

The Ravens got back on track with a 30-16 victory over the Bears on Sunday.

Even with Lamar Jackson sidelined for the third straight game, Baltimore found a way to get back in the win column against a Chicago team that won its previous four games.

With the Bears trailing by three and backed up near their own goal line in the fourth quarter, Nate Wiggins came through with a game-altering interception. The second-year cornerback undercut Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze for his second takeaway of the season. Two plays later, Tyler Huntley found a wide-open Charlie Kolar, who waltzed into the end zone to put the Ravens up two scores.

Rashod Bateman had his longest catch of the season on a 36-yard pass from Huntley downfield. Bateman finished with 51 yards on two receptions, his most productive outing in four games.

Filling in for the injured Jackson, Huntley was efficient as a passer and effective as a runner. The veteran signal-caller completed 17 of 22 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown. He also gained 53 yards on the ground on seven carries, helping lead Baltimore to its highest-scoring offensive output since Week 3.

The inside linebacker room helped put on a strong defensive showing against a red-hot Bears team. In his first game back from injury, Roquan Smith delivered. The former Chicago first-round pick had a game-high 11 tackles. Fourth-round rookie Teddye Buchanan also made his mark with five tackles (two for loss). Even Jake Hummel got in on the action with a tackle for loss.

Green picked up his first career sack on the Bears' opening drive. The second-round rookie zoomed by Bears left tackle Theo Benedet and brought down Caleb Williams on third-and-goal to force a field goal.

After being inactive for the Ravens' first four games, Mitchell had his biggest day of the season. He had a 25-yard gain in the third quarter that set up a field goal by Tyler Loop. Mitchell also had a 39-yard kickoff return and a 13-yard scamper late in the fourth quarter to help put the game away. Mitchell tallied 43 yards on four carries to go along with Derrick Henry's 71 yards and two scores.
