Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson who was questionable with an illness is officially ruled out versus the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

This is a big loss for the Ravens. They are coming off a disappointing loss against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night in Week 10. The Ravens are only a game-and-a-half ahead in the AFC North and every game from here on out is almost a must-win for them.

They are taking on a struggling Bears team. Despite Lamar Jackson not being there, they need to still find a way to take care of business. Lamar is what makes the Ravens team as good as they are. Although the Bears have struggled this year, the Ravens still have a lot on their plate by trying to get a win without him.

Lamar has an unknown virus but the Ravens have already ruled out COVID-19. This is the easiest game left on Baltimore's schedule. They were hoping that they would have Lamar to walk away with an easy win. They have to take on the Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Cincinnati Bengals, and the Los Angeles Rams in the back end of their season.

Lamar has been great for them this year with over 2,400 yards and 14 touchdowns. He will not play for the Ravens against the Chicago Bears. Other players are going to need to step up in a major way in his absence.
