Bears passing game vs. Ravens pass defense

The Bears have the least productive passing offense in the league, but that’s slightly misleading, because rookie quarterback Justin Fields (59.4% completions, four touchdowns, eight interceptions) has improved in recent weeks. He threw for 291 yards in a two-point loss at the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. Like Jackson, Fields uses his legs to buy time and look downfield; he ranks second to the Ravens quarterback in air yards per attempt, according to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats. Wide receiver Darnell Mooney (36 catches on 59 targets, 450 yards) has been Fields’ most productive target, a mild surprise given that the Bears spent $17.8 million to extend Allen Robinson (30 catches on 50 targets, 339 yards) for this season. The Ravens are still trying to sort through communications and tackling lapses in their secondary after they allowed passes of 64, 52 and 35 yards against the Dolphins. These explosive plays have undermined their good work in other areas; for example, they’re second in the league in third-down defense. But they have allowed opposing quarterbacks to average 7.3 yards per attempt, 29th in the league. Though the Ravens have blitzed less this year, they still rank third in the league in blitz percentage, according to Pro Football Reference. Do not be surprised if defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale calls a particularly aggressive game against a rookie quarterback who has turned the ball over frequently. Veteran Justin Houston (three sacks, 13 quarterback hits) has been the Ravens’ most consistent pass rusher, while Odafe Oweh leads all rookies in pressures. . EDGE: Ravens
