Ravens, 34-23: This is a bad spot for the Bears — provided that Lamar Jackson plays. The 1-5 Ravens are coming off a bye and can’t afford to lose without sinking further into obscurity. Even if Jackson is hampered, they’ll be desperate. The Bears won’t be. This year: 4-2

A recent story revealed that the Baltimore Ravens' coaching staff recently removed recreational games from the locker room.

The Chicago Bears are set to face the Baltimore Ravens, who have had a disappointing 1-5 start to their season. This week's focus is on Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley, a player the Bears could have pursued in free agency.

Smith has been an All-Pro selection three times with the Ravens since Bears general manager Ryan Poles traded him for a second-round pick.

The Ravens are 1-5 this year. Coaching staff have now removed video games, cornhole, and more from the locker room to help players focus.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson made his first practice appearance since Sept. 28 on Wednesday, where he was a limited participant. The Bears are preparing as though he will face them Sunday after missing two games with a hamstring injury. Some are even daydreaming that he will.
