The final score of the Bears vs Ravens game was 31-7. This is not an unexpected outcome seeing as though the Bears had to go through hell and high water just to get to the Baltimore because of the snowstorm. Despite exterior factors the fact is that the Bears really aren't that good this year. Jay Cutler has completed more passes to his opposing defenses that he has to his own recievers(18td's,25int's). The run game has gotten worse from last year and the defense has lost some of its muscle.But enough about them.
Regardless of who the Ravens play, a win is a win. This victory brings the Ravens to 8-6. This puts them in the number 5 spot or the first wildcard spot in the playoff rankings. Obviously there are still two more weeks of the regular season so we have to see how things end up because it's not over yet.
Next week at 1pm the Ravens travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. Now I know the Steelers have a losing record but they just beat Packers last weekend. This means that in any game, the Steelers can really stick it to their opponent. This makes the upcoming game all the more exciting and dangerous for the Ravens. Plus we know that when these teams play it is an all out war. The big issue here is the Ravens do not have the whole calvary.
The secondary has been ravaged by injuries all year. We saw another soldier Lardarius Webb go down last week. He will be out for the rest of the season. Will Ed Reed be back in time for this game? Who knows? Haloti Ngata has not recovered fully from his injury and is still appearing on the injury reports during the week.
Can the Ravens line-up against the Steelers next Sunday and beat them is yet to be seen. But the matchups are looking a little lopsided in favor of the Steelers. I will talk about those later in the week.
