C OAC H H A R BAU G H S AY S COACH HARBAUGH ON THE TIGHT AFC NORTH RACE: ”It’s the nature of it right now. It’s going to be that way all season. It’s going to be a dog fight throughout the course of the season in every division to win the division. That’s your first goal, to win the division. To do that, we have to find a way to win the next game. We have to stack as many wins as we can. We played poorly and lost the [11/11 Miami] game, but we’re in the fight. We’re in first place, but we have to find a way to win the next game.”

QUICK HITS
7 The Baltimore Ravens (6-3) battle the Chicago Bears (3-6) this Sunday in a 1 p.m. ET showdown from Soldier Field. Baltimore, which currently sits atop the AFC North standings, is 2-2 on the road this season, while Chicago, which is coming off its bye week, is 2-2 at home and has dropped four straight games overall.
I N J U RY U P DAT E The Ravens have 15 players on IR, including starters RB J.K. Dobbins (knee), S DeShon Elliott (pec/biceps), RB Gus Edwards (knee), CB Marcus Peters (knee), T Ronnie Stanley (ankle) and DE Derek Wolfe (back/hip). RB Latavius Murray (ankle) has missed the past three games, while starters RT Patrick Mekari (ankle) and NT Brandon Williams (shoulder) have missed two straight contests. TE Nick Boyle (knee), who has not played this season, was activated from IR to the 53-man roster on Nov. 8. CB Tavon Young (foot) left the Week 10 game at Miami and did not return.
7 The Ravens are 6-3 for the seventh time in franchise history (also 2001, 2004, 2008, 2010, 2011 & 2020) and for the fifth time under head coach John Harbaugh. Baltimore made the playoffs all but one year (2004) after starting the season 6-3.
7 The Ravens have won 12 straight games vs. NFC opponents, dating back to Week 13 of 2018 at Atlanta. This ranks as the NFL’s longest active interconference winning streak and ties for the fourthlongest such streak since the 1970 merger (see note bottom right).
NOTE THE QUOTE
7 Chicago leads the all-time series vs. Baltimore, 4-2. Under Coach
MARK ANDREWS ON THE OFFENSE WANTING TO START FASTER: ”We have a bunch of players that work hard, fly around and give 100 percent, and we have coaches that coach us hard and really care. We’re going to get this thing down. We’re a 6-3 ball team, and there’s a lot of positives. That’s what we’re going to build on.”
Harbaugh, the Ravens are 1-2 vs. the Bears. Sunday’s game marks just the fourth time Baltimore will play in Chicago, with the Bears winning the previous three contests (including a 23-20 OT decision when the teams last played at Soldier Field in 2013).
7 Last Thursday (11/11) at Miami, the Ravens fell to the host Dolphins, 22-10. Miami entered the fourth quarter with a 6-3 lead, however, a 49-yard FR-TD by CB Xavien Howard and 1-yard rushing score from QB Tua Tagovailoa with 2:19 remaining halted any chance of a Baltimore comeback. The Ravens struggled on third down, converting 2-of-14 attempts, while QB Lamar Jackson finished the game 26-of-43 passing for 238 yards, 1 TD (5 yards to TE Mark Andrews) and 1 INT (in the end zone with 47 seconds left to play).
