The Baltimore Ravens (8-6) are a much better team than the Chicago Bears (5-9) and they proved that on Sunday.  Joe Flacco did a great job leading the way offensively, and helped the Ravens pull away in the 3rd quarter with 2 touchdown passes within 2 minutes of each other.  He finished with four touchdown passes and 234 yards on 21/29 passes.  Ray Rice gave Flacco a lot of support running the ball.  He didn’t need a ton of carries to be effective, rushing for 87 yards on 16 physical carries.  An impressive game for the Ravens offense, but their defense gave them a huge lift as well.

The Ravens were able to force 6 turnovers against the Bears, getting 4 interceptions and 2 fumbles.  They completely shut down Jay Cutler and the Bears passing game.  Cutler only threw for 94 yards on 10/27 passes and had 3 interceptions.  Caleb Hanie came in for Cutler late in the game and it only took 5 passes for the Ravens to pick him off as well.  They didn’t do too great stopping the run giving up 122 rushing yards, but they did force Bears’ running back Matt Forte into 2 fumbles, recovering 1.  This was a dominant game for the Ravens.
