The Chicago Bears are coming off of a tough loss to a division rival and now the team must face the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens on Sunday without starting quarterback Jay Cutler and the game will be starting up at 1:00 pm and streaming live from NFL.com and the matchup will be going down at Soldier Field.
This season Marshall is tops on the team with nearly 800 yards receiving and Jeffery is right behind him, while the former Dolphins and Broncos star is the leader in touchdown receptions for the Bears this season. One of his best catches came against the Packers from McCown, as the Bears were in the red zone and Green Bay had a nice pass rush going and with pressure already on his back arm dragging him down, McCown muscled a pass up high out of the pocket and Marshall was able to snag it going down to the ground as a defender was blanketing him. That is why the Bears paid such a heavy price for him a few years ago. The Bears came into the season with a 2-2 record in preseason play and they were one of the teams to make it out of the schedule without any major injuries heading into the season, although during the year they have been banged up with Cutler, Lance Briggs, Charles Tillman and Henry Melton, but they have been able to bounce back nicely from those injuries.

The team opened the season with two close wins over the Cincinnati Bengals and the Vikings within the division and after that the team had a nice performance against the Steelers in a Sunday night football blowout, but then the schedule got much rougher, as the Bears had to travel to play the Lions in Detroit and while that game was close at times, chi go could not get back into it and now at this point in the season they have lost to the Lions two times.
After losing to the Lions the Bears had the unfortunate chance to host the New Orleans Saints and the team was coming in playing very hot on offense and while they looked unbeatable, the Bears held them tight on offense, but it was not enough to stop Drew Brees and they lost the matchup by eight points at home. The team had a quick turnaround for the Thursday night game the next week against the New York Giants and while the Gmen came in winless, the game was close throughout and Eli Manning had the team in position for a comeback win before tossing an interception and that helped stop the skid for Chicago.
The Bears ended up losing to the Washington Redskins the following week, but the game was as entertaining as any this season, with both teams scoring over 40 points and the Bears falling by four points. Cutler was first injured in that game and that was the first chance for McCown to look good in the offense and the next week had a bye, giving him time to get healthy and ready to return. Out of the bye the team had the Green Bay Packers on the road at Lambeau Field for Monday night football and McCown once again got to play for the injured Cutler and with Aaron Rodgers also getting hurt in that game, it gave Chicago a chance to steal one on the road and put them right back in the division race. The loss against the Bears was a tough one to swallow for fans and even though it was a divisional one to Detroit that saw Cutler get hurt, the team held tight and there's no reason to think they can't make the playoffs this season.
