The Chicago Bears are entering Week 8 with confidence and a sense of humor. Ahead of their opening showdown with the Baltimore Ravens, the Bears’ social media team decided to have some fun at the expense of their next opponent’s recent locker room shake-up. After the Ravens fell to 1-5, the organization removed several recreational items from the locker room, including a ping pong table, video game consoles, a basketball hoop, and cornhole boards. According to reporting by the Baltimore Sun, the decision was made to emphasize focus and accountability during a difficult stretch of the season.
The Bears wasted no time capitalizing on the situation. In a clever social media post, Chicago featured linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards competing against each other in a series of one-on-one mini-games. From basketball shots to ping pong battles, the video highlighted some of the same competitive locker room entertainment the Ravens recently stripped away. It was a lighthearted way to get the fans engaged and create some bulletin-board material for both franchises.

Chicago Bears Take a Playful Jab at Ravens on Social Media
The Bears’ season has not been perfect, but they look far more upbeat and energized than they did after starting 0-2.
And this type of trolling is nothing new in today’s NFL social media landscape, where teams search for any engaging way to hype matchups and unify their fanbases. Chicago struck the perfect balance, delighting their followers while injecting added entertainment into the week’s narrative.
For the Ravens, though, the move adds an extra wrinkle to a matchup they need to take seriously as they try to save one of the most disappointing starts to the season in recent memory.
Lamar Jackson Expected to Return in Crucial Game vs. Bears
The good news for Baltimore is that superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson appears ready to get back onto the field. Jackson suffered a hamstring injury and missed the last two games.
However, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh offered optimistic news, stating Jackson was a full participant in practice and they will “see where it’s at going forward.” All signs point to Jackson returning to action on Sunday.
Jackson’s importance to Baltimore cannot be overstated. The Ravens’ offense runs through him, especially his dynamic dual-threat ability to both extend plays and generate explosive runs. Without him, the Ravens are a different team.
And there’s more bad news for the Bears, as Friday’s injury report reveals multiple key starters are out: cornerbacks Kyler Gordon and Tyrique Stevenson, and tight end Cole Kmet.
With the Bears already thin at cornerback, not having Gordon and Stevenson on the field will make stopping Jackson a lot more difficult.
