Winners and Losers From Ravens' Commanding Win Over Bears

RB Derrick Henry: With Jackson out, the five-time Pro Bowler became the focal point of the Ravens offense and delivered. Although he didn’t break off a run of more than 10 yards, Henry ran hard and gained several solid pickups to keep downs manageable. He finished with 71 yards on 21 carries, including crucial goal-line touchdowns for the team's first and final scores. With those, he passed Hall of Famer Walter Peyton for the fifth-most rushing touchdowns in NFL history, further cementing his legacy.

CB Nate Wiggins: After a rough first half to forget, the second-year pro had a second half to remember with a tackle for loss on a blown-up quick screen and his second interception of the year. On his clutch turnover, he was in tight coverage of Bears second-year star wideout Rome Odunze, who had given him fits up to that point in the game. He made a great break on the ball over the middle of the field and undercut the route to get the ball back for the offense with an instant red zone possession.

Wide Receivers: Rather than highlighting individual players, it is the Ravens' starting wide receiver trio — Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and DeAndre Hopkins — that deserves joint recognition for how instrumental their combined contributions were to this win. Homegrown Pro Bowler Zay Flowers recorded 71 scrimmage yards, including a team-leading 63 receiving, and picked up several key first downs. Fifth-year veteran Rashod Bateman made a pair of clutch catches for 10-plus yards that were key to eventual scoring drives and was impressive as a downfield blocker as well. Five-time Pro Bowl veteran DeAndre Hopkins made his weekly crucial contest catch to extend the Ravens' put-away drive.

EDGE Mike Green: The Ravens' lone official sack of the game came from the second-round rookie, and not only did it mark the first of his career, but it came in the red zone on third down and forced the Bears to settle for a field goal on their opening drive. Green also recorded a solo tackle for loss and a quarterback hit.

RB Keaton Mitchell: After wasting away on the shelf for the first four games and being sparsely used in the past two weeks prior to the bye, the explosive third-year speedster finally got let out of the doghouse and provided the Ravens with an exciting spark in the second half. Mitchell ripped off a 25-yard gain on his first touch and finished with 43 rushing yards on 4 attempts and had a big play on special teams as well on a 39-yard kickoff return.

DB Kyle Hamilton: While the two-time All Pro wasn't credited with a sack officially, he played a vital role in the Ravens' manufactured pressure plan and was responsible for the first of two intentional grounding calls on Williams, logged a quarterback hit and finished with the second-most total tackles on the team with 8, including 4 solos.

OLB Kyle Van Noy: Similarly to his fellow Pro Bowler, the 12th-year also didn't come up with a sack officially but was just as impactful when it came to applying pressure on Williams. He was responsible for the second intentional grounding in the second quarter that pushed the Bears back and led their 58-yard field goal attempt to end the first half coming up short. He was also very stout against the run, finishing with a pair of solo tackles, including one for a loss, and had a quarterback hit.

P Jordan Stout: The fourth-year breakout specialist only punted twice, one in each half, and made the absolute most of his second opportunity when he teamed up with fifth-year veteran wideout Tylan Wallace to pin the Bears offense back deep at their own 4-yard line. It was a crucial part of the fourth-quarter sequence that led to Wiggins' interception and Henry's second touchdown to put the game away.

Losers

Kickoff coverage: This special teams unit nearly generated a turnover on a forced fumble by undrafted rookie linebacker Jay Higgins, but sprung a big leak on their first kickoff of the second quarter when they allowed former Ravens All Pro return specialist to rip off a 49-yard return. After scoring on their first two drives, the Bears' offense started their third past midfield at the Baltimore 47-yard line. Thankfully, the lapse in coverage didn't prove costly as the defense would force the first of two punts with a swift three-and-out.

Daniel Faalele detractors: For those who thought the Ravens were going to follow through on their contemplation to make changes to their starting offensive line at the right guard position specifically, no such personnel adjustments were made. Faalele not only made his seventh straight start, but he tied two-time Pro Bowl left tackle Ronnie Stanley for the fifth-best PFF grade on offense with an overall grade of 71.5.
