#Bears OL looks horriawful tonight.

That was a textbook new safe hit by Deon Bush there. Led with a shoulder into the back #Bears #HOFGame

Ravens 10 Bears 7 after the first quarter. What has stood out to you guys so far?
FIRST QUARTER
Chase Daniel with two interceptions. He is what he is, a career backup that is good enough to execute the offense with talent around him, but with the host of backups he’s gonna struggle.
It’s early, Bears offense looks fun!
Bears running a lot of bunch sets. Showing offensive versatility they didn't have last year.

This Bryce Callahan interception was challenged and it was ruled a catch!
Breshad Perriman is a cut candidate and this won't help him at all. Former first-round pick in thin waters.pic.twitter.com/LZUClLgaB9

Bradley Sowell beat on the left edge and LG Jordan Morgan bull-rushed backward. Chase Daniel had to unload the football and it hit Morgan’s helmet. QB height a contributor there too. #Bears

Slant/flat on the inside with verts outside, sweep motion to create confusion on outside run plays--this offense is going to work. It'll be very interesting to see how quickly Trubisky gets the hang of it all. Distributors need to understand every nuance.

This game is all about the celebratory Pro Football Hall of Fame weekend, but it’s still Chicago Bears’ football. Something we haven’t had since January. We survived another offseason, and we like to think our fantastic staff at Windy City Gridiron helped you guys get through the last several months.
Thanks to all you guys for reading and supporting us!

And here’s their 5 Questions with us about tonight’s game
PREGAME
It has already been reported that the Chicago Bears won’t play many, if any, of their starters tonight, but that’s okay, it’s still football! The Bears’ back-ups will take on the back-ups of the Baltimore Ravens tonight and we’ll all be watching.
This will be our first look at Matt Nagy as he leads the Bears, so it will be interesting to see if we can get a small glimpse into his sideline demeanor. It may be preseason, but his competitive juices will be flowing.
Both of these teams are looking to bounce back in 2018 after missing the playoffs last year. Chicago’s last postseason appearance was in 2010, and Baltimore’s last playoff game was in 2014.
These two teams were selected for this particular game because of their respective legends that will be going into the Hall Of Fame, Brian Urlacher and Ray Lewis.
