Ravens @ Bears · Week 4 — SapphireSportz

WEEK 4 · FINAL

THE READ

Ravens run away with it, 51-28

Baltimore's Lamar Jackson threw 5 touchdown passes and completed 22 of 34 for 358 yards in a 51-28 rout, while Chicago's Caleb Williams managed 17 of 34 for 239 yards with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. The Bears allowed 6 sacks and were outgained 382 to 292 in total yards, a gap that tells you everything about why they're 1-3. Chicago passed on 77 percent of its plays despite gaining just 53 yards on the ground, which suggests the offense abandoned balance when it needed it most. The Ravens defense held, the Ravens passing game exploded, and the Bears had no answer for either.

THE WIDER PICTURE

Team	SRS	SOS	MARGIN	TO +/-
Ravens	+16.6	-1.4	+18.0	+5
Bears	-5.6	+1.9	-7.5	+2

SRS is how many points a side beats an average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20. SOS is how hard that schedule has been. Full table.

IN THE BOOTH

Marcus Reyes The numbers guy

Jackson threw 5 touchdowns on 22 completions while Chicago's line surrendered 6 sacks—a rout built on one side's efficiency and the other's collapse up front.

Talia Morgan Beat reporter · replying

Baltimore is who we thought they were—Jackson's arm carrying a team that can't run and won't need to, while Chicago abandoned the ground game 77% of the time and paid for it. The gap between 4-0 and 1-3 is exactly this wide.

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.

Only meetings Sapphire can attribute to both men are counted — a Madden export never says who owned a team last season, so the series starts where the record does.

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.
