The Baltimore Ravens are entering a must-win matchup in Week 8 against the Chicago Bears. At 1-5, a win could put them right back into playoff contention, but a loss could all but end their playoff hopes.
The Ravens are favored in this matchup, and with quarterback Lamar Jackson trending toward playing on Sunday, there could still be hope for Baltimore in 2025. Still, several problems remain that the team will need to fix in the coming weeks.
The obvious issues lie with the defense. While the defense showed improvements in their Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, thanks to the addition of safety Alohi Gilman in the secondary, their pass rush remains one of the worst in the NFL.
