Tyler Huntley Leads Ravens to Crucial Win Over Bears Amid Lamar Jackson Injury

Tyler Huntley stepped up impressively for the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8, leading them to a crucial 30-16 victory over the Chicago Bears and potentially saving their season. With starting quarterback Lamar Jackson sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Huntley completed 17 of 22 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 53 yards, helping the Ravens improve to 2-5 and snap a four-game losing streak. Derrick Henry contributed two rushing touchdowns, moving past Walter Payton for fifth in NFL career rushing touchdowns. The Bears, hampered by injuries to key defensive players including cornerbacks and running backs, struggled to capitalize despite outgaining the Ravens early in the game. Although Jackson is expected to return soon, Huntley's performance provided the Ravens a renewed chance at a postseason push. This win marked a significant turnaround for a Ravens team that had lost 11 of their previous 13 games without Jackson, and it underscored Huntley's readiness to lead the team under pressure.
