Now that we know it will be Pro Bowler Tyler Huntley—and not two-time MVP Lamar Jackson—starting at quarterback for the Ravens against the Bears on Sunday, the big question is whether the 1-5 Ravens can secure a win.
With another loss, Baltimore would match its worst seven-game start in franchise history. Back in 2015, the Ravens began the season 1-6. If they lose again this year, their margin for error the rest of the way will be wafer-thin.
A loss on Sunday would also mark their fifth consecutive defeat, creating the third-longest losing streak in franchise history. For context, the Ravens lost nine straight games in 2007 and six in a row in 2021.
Regardless of the outcome against the Bears, the Ravens will face a short-week challenge with a visit to Miami on Thursday night. It’s entirely possible that we’ll be watching the 1-6 Ravens take on the 1-7 Dolphins in that game.
