The Baltimore Ravens had a crucial bounce-back win in Week 8, defeating the Chicago Bears, 30-16. They improved to 2-5 and saw each of their AFC North counterparts lose their matchups, drawing closer to playoff contention.
Much of the focus on Sunday was centered around backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, who started in place of the injured Lamar Jackson. Everyone thought Jackson was due to return, but with a short week ahead, the Ravens relied on Huntley, and it paid off. His standout performance helped get Baltimore’s offense back on track.
On defense, returning linebacker Roquan Smith was just as impactful.
