Bears' Mitchell Trubisky breaks rookie QB curse in Baltimore
Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky showed poise and big-play ability in leading the Bears past the Ravens in overtime.
Seth Walder ESPN Analytics
The Bears' chances of landing the No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft dropped from 7% to 2% after they beat the Ravens today and the 49ers and Browns both lost.
Trubisky: 'Jordan continues to carry this team' (0:37)
Bears edge Ravens in OT (1:35)
Jeff Dickerson ESPN Staff Writer

Bears' beat Ravens on field goal in OT (0:18)
Matt Bowen ESPN Staff Writer
Jordan Howard finishes with 167 yards rushing on 36 carries (4.6 yards per carry) and he also added one reception for nine yards. Monster workload for the Bears RB. And Howard's 53 yard run in OT set up the game-winning field goal in Baltimore.
Amos comes up with pick-6 for Bears (0:44)
Trubisky throws 2nd career TD pass (0:27)
Bears' offense pulls off trick-play TD (0:30)
Jeff Dickerson ESPN Staff Writer
The Bears are in front at halftime because of turnovers -- plain and simple. After struggling all year to take the ball away on defense, the Bears are +2 vs. the Ravens. This is a pleasant surprise since entering Week 6, the Bears ranked dead last in the league in turnover margin, while Baltimore was 8th at +3.
Jeff Dickerson ESPN Staff Writer
Trick play! Bears offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains dials up a halfback pass from Tarik Cohen to tight end Zach Miller for a 21-yard touchdown. Last week, punter Pat O'Donnell threw a TD pass on a fake punt. Give the Bears credit: they have found creative ways to score the last two weeks as the offense still struggles to put points on the board conventional ways.
Matt Bowen ESPN Staff Writer
Zach Miller TD catch on a HB Toss-Pass vs. the Ravens. Pitch the ball out to RB Tarik Cohen with Miller releasing on the corner route. Baltimore took the bait there.
