Ravens crash to historic low in troubling loss to the lowly Bears

BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Ravens' 27-24 overtime loss to the Chicago Bears was devastating, troubling and historic.

The once-dominating Ravens defense gave up 231 yards rushing -- the most ever in the franchise's 22-year existence. For a team that built its reputation on shutting down running backs with the likes of Ray Lewis and Haloti Ngata, this run defense hit rock bottom against a Bears ground attack that ranked only 12th in the NFL.

The disturbing part is, Baltimore knew Chicago was going to try to run the ball down the defense's throat because Bears rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky was making his first road NFL start.
