Ravens, Chicago Bears

Poor grades blanketed the report card as Ben Johnson's team succeeded in making a backup quarterback look like Lamar Jackson.
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift said the resurgent run game in the Windy City isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Bears RB D'Andre Swift had 4 carries for 23 yards in the first quarter but he hasn't had a handoff since. The Bears ran 24 plays on their first two drives and picked up 9 first downs. They've run 12 plays in three possessions since, only 1 first down.
The starting running back and wide receiver returned on a limited basis to practice after sitting Wednesday and several other Bears had their status change.
Top back D’Andre Swift has an undeniable competitive fire but is low-key by nature. Rookie Kyle Monangai is a head-down grinder, still working to get accustomed to the NFL. Roschon Johnson? He’s a third-year back, contributing predominantly on special teams and has never been overly boisterous.
D'Andre Swift gained 175 total yards in the Bears' win over Washington, and he'll need to keep it going to get the Bears' win streak to four.
As the Bears prepare to take on the Saints, Ben Johnson is hopeful running back D'Andre Swift will be on the field.
After back-to-back atrocious games, the Chicago Bears once again look like a team that his held back by its quarterback.
