It was a battle of the backups in the Windy City as the Chicago Bears welcomed the Baltimore Ravens to town sans their starting quarterback. Lamar Jackson was a surprise inactive due to an illness and second-year quarterback Tyler Huntley got the start in his place.
Offense was at a premium for both teams for much of the game, but things took a turn when Bears starter Justin Fields left the game with a rib injury. Andy Dalton took over and promptly gave the Bears the lead with a touchdown pass to Darnell Mooney.
After a late Ravens field goal, the game came down to the final two minutes. Dalton found Marquise Goodwin behind the defense for the go-ahead touchdown with under two minutes left, but the Ravens were able to mount their own scoring drive to take back the lead and shock the fans in attendance with a victory.
The game itself was a gut punch, though there were standout players that kept the Bears in this for as long as they were. Here are this week’s studs and duds from Sunday’s loss.
