This Sunday’s game between the Chicago Bears (3-6) and Baltimore Ravens (6-3) will feature two quarterbacks that favor downfield throws. Lamar Jackson and Justin Fields rank No. 1 and No. 2 in intended air yards, a stat that “shows the average Air Yards a passer throws on all attempts,” according to Next Gen Stats. Jackson leads the league with 10.1 intended air yards and Fields is right behind him at 10.
Both quarterbacks are also capable of making plays with their legs. Jackson has 639 rushing yards — seventh-most in the NFL — and two touchdowns on the season. Fields has run for 288 yards on 52 attempts and also has two rushing touchdowns this year.
Most of the talk will revolve around the quarterbacks, as it should, but the guys at The Chicago Audible give you an in-depth podcast on everything you need to know about this Week 11 matchup. Nicholas Moreano and Mason West in this preview show also highlight another category — a not-so-good one — that the quarterbacks lead in.
The guys also discuss what challenges the Ravens’ defense presents to Fields and the rest of the Bears’ offense.
On the other side of the ball, Nick and Mason highlight why Jackson is so difficult to defend and some Bears players, in particular, that may have a rough day on Sunday.
Of course towards the end of the podcast, the guys share who they believe will be the MVB, their bold predictions and who ultimately wins this game.
There is plenty of great discussion throughout this show, so make sure you download the podcast or watch it on YouTube.
