The Ravens crawled out of the coffin like Dracula with a win against the Bears, 30-16

BALTIMORE — The Ravens' season looked to be all but over.

After a week of reality TV-like drama in Baltimore, they are back from the dead, playing complementary football.

The team won without its star QB and turned to a familiar face under center while putting a ceiling on the Bears offense on critical drives.

The Ravens went old school and played the best defense it could—limiting big plays and getting stops in the red zone.

To quote the great Boba Fett, "This is the way."

Over the last two games, the Ravens defense has limited the Rams to 17 points and the Bears to 16.

It seems whatever soul-searching was done in Owings Mills and the trade for Alohi Gilman has been paying off.

The Ravens' pass rush was able to make Bears QB Caleb Williams uncomfortable by rushing him through his progressions and getting him off his spot.

He hit a few big plays throughout the game, but the Ravens didn't give up the backbreaker.

The hero plays on defense and came on an interception in Bear's territory by CB Nate Wiggins and a sack by Mike Green.

The captains on this side of the ball, Roquan Smith and Kyle Hamilton, were everywhere with helmets on fire.

Smith had seven tackles and five assists. Hamilton had four tackles with four assists.

In between the numbers, the trade for Gilman which many thought was a nothing burger has allowed Kyle Hamilton to go back to playing the Joker in Big Nickel sets.

He’s back to doing everything - swatting passes, getting to the Quarterback, and stopping running backs before they get started. 

The offense also jumped in the time machine as well creating balanced, sustained drives.

QB Tyler Huntley was a trooper, showing veteran poise in the pocket and letting the game come to him. Snoop, since his time away from Baltimore, has gotten better.

His tape is almost night and day from what he was previously as Lamar's backup. He finished the afternoon 17 for 22 and one TD.

Many fans and pundits alike were questioning why Huntley wasn't Lamar's immediate backup instead of Cooper Rush.

Derrick Henry was back to bulldozing. He logged out after notching 71 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries.

Even the explosive, forgotten running back Keaton Mitchell got 4 carries for 43 yards. It's mind-boggling how he hasn't seen the field up until this point.

This guy has blazing speed which needs to be put on the field for the rest of the season.

This full team performance yielded a 30-16 win over the Chicago Bears, who were looking to go 5-2.

Lamar Jackson is expected back next week against the Miami Dolphins.

With a number of winnable games in the back half of the schedule, the Ravens can see some semblance of hope.

Although these games looking winnable or not means nothing. They still have to go out and win them.

Only time will tell.

For now, let's enjoy the win.
