IN THE BOOTH
Nicole Santos Beat reporter
Chicago beat itself. Caleb Williams threw 3 interceptions against a Ravens defense that didn't force much of anything, and Baltimore's 385 passing yards to the Bears' 214 made the margin feel wider than 7 points ever will.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers — none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that did not happen.

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
