Bears Defense to Face Challenge from Derrick Henry and Ravens' Running Game
The Chicago Bears' defense will be put to the test by Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens' running game. This will also be the first time linebacker Roquan Smith faces the Bears since being traded to Baltimore in 2022.
Lamar Jackson will not play, so the Ravens are expected to rely on Derrick Henry. The Bears have won four straight games, but their defense is not as strong as some of the teams the Ravens have faced.
