As bad as the passing game looked today, the Bears still won the TOP battle 36 mins to 23 mins. So the defense played well and was well rested. The running game really took pressure off the entire team.

Looks like the Bears will come in at 6.5 underdogs to the 1-5 Ravens. The LBs and Gordon are going to have to spy Jackson and stop Henry. This will be a tough one, but Baltimore's defense has been bad and that won't change much out of their bye. If the refs call this game fair (unlikely), I could see the Bears winning this in a close game. However, the refs have shown they don't call games fairly, so I am thinking this will be close loss, both teams in the mid-20s.

@ BAL (1-5) @ CIN (3-4) NYG (2-4) @ MIN (3-3) PIT (4-2) Going 4-1 in the next 5 would make them 8-3 with 6 to play. Even going 2-4 in at stretch would give them 10 wins.

The first 4-game win streak since 2018. The Bears lead the NFL in takeaways and turnover differential. The running game is heating up. As of right now, the Bears are in the last WC spot at 4-2 and no longer in 4th in the DIV with MIN losing. Still super crazy that the Bears should be 5-1 right now and tied for the best record in the NFL.

4th Takeaway, 3rd INT, lol.

They have clearly figured out the rushing attack. Swift with his 2nd 100-yd rushing game and Monangai with 50 yd rushing.

How the f*ck does the official one yard away from the play on the sideline with clear view of the play throw the flag for an illegal forward pass then when it gives the Saints a first down, they pick it up?

The most Bears thing to happen, Byard about to get his 2nd pick and friendly fire takes him out.

Yep, when he has to get rid of it without thinking.

He looks off, very odd. He does not look comfortable at all. Night and day compared to the last few games.

Ugh, this passing game is off, by the time he gets to his first read, there is pressure.

The Bears need to put this game away with a long TD drive, and go up by 16. They are already the only team in the NFL to score at least 21 pts in every game this season.

The Bears lead the NFL in takeaways with 15. The next closest team, JAX has 14 with one extra game played.

If this game was called evenly, the Bears are up by 20. 3rd week in a row where the refs are keeping the other team in the game.

Billings was called for defensive holding on a run when Sweat was being held. Then Billings actually gets held and no call. Impossible to beat the refs.

Bad play call on defense, the one thing you can't do there is let up the big play. Byard should've been back there.

It is wild that I feel like this up 20-7 at halftime.

Odunze is catching nothing. He was a huge contested catch guy out of WAS and it seems like every time there is a contested catch, he drops it.

and just like that. Saints RT left early, officials did call it, TD. Ugh. I hate the officials. If that was the Bears, they would've called it before it happened.

I don't know of Johnson is telling Caleb to throw it no matter what, but he has had some scrambling chances but is looking to throw on every play.

Sweat again with another stop on 4th down.

Yeah it is beyond ridiculous this year. Gordon was going for a mid-shot and Kamara dropped his head.

The Bears have been penalized 6 times for 72 yards. The Saints have 13 yards on offense.

and both times negated a big play. There have been a lot of stats taken off the board this year by bogus penalties.

It won't be a linear thing. It will take most of the year to get enough game action.
