Bears win four straight, Packers practice in an airport, Vikings stumble | 1st & North
On this episode of "1st & North," Lou Canellis and other NFC North insiders break down a wild week across the division. The Bears win their fourth straight, and it feels different this year. The Lions shut down the Bucs, the Packers practiced in the airport, and the Vikings ran into a buzzsaw.
Can the Chicago Bears make it five in a row?
One player's availability this weekend will go a long way in determining the chances of keeping that winning streak alive.
Here's how to watch the Bears' vs. the Ravens this weekend.

This game is awaiting a key decision: what's happening with Lamar Jackson?
The former NFL MVP has missed the last handful of games with a hamstring injury, and that's why the Ravens are sitting at 1-5 after their bye week. If Jackson can't play, then Cooper Rush will start in his place. That would benefit the Bears. Even a 70-percent Lamar Jackson is better than most of the NFL.
If he does play, it would be a test for the Bears.
After the defense has ballhawked its way to a league-leading 16 turnovers, getting tested against Jackson, Derrick Henry and a multi-faceted Ravens' offense would be a barometer for how talented the Bears' defense can be this year.
