Pete Carroll is willing to give an answer — usually with many words and thoughts — to nearly every question. On Sunday, Carroll had no answers and for a time was finished with the questions. “It’s not a different story. It’s the same story this whole season, and we’ve got to see if we can turn this thing. I’m really done,” Car- roll said, abruptly ending his postgame comments after Seat- tle’s 23-13 loss to Arizona. It was a rare outburst of frustration from Carroll during his long tenure with the Seahawks. But it’s also unusual that Seattle has been this bad with Carroll in charge. Seattle is 3-7, its playoff hopes seemingly gone. His team is abys- mal on offense, can’t get stops consistently on defense and has massive personnel issues loom- ing. Carroll eventually returned and took more questions but still had few answers. “I’m not any good at this,” Carroll said about handling los- ing. When Carroll returned to take more questions, he acknowl- edged being as frustrated as he’s ever been in his time with Seattle. “I’m struggling to do a good job of coaching when you’re getting your butt kicked in week in and week out. It’s just new territory,” Carroll said. “So I’m competing in every way I can think of, but I’m just unfamiliar with it.” l BEARS: Rookie quarterback Justin Fields was knocked out of a loss to Baltimore with a rib injury. Fields walked to the tunnel after the first drive of the second half, and team officials later an- nounced the rib injury. He was replaced by Andy Dalton. Dalton threw two touchdown passes, including a 49 -yarder to Mar- quise Goodwin in the closing minutes, but the Bears lost their fifth straight, 16 -13. Fields was coming off several promising outings but struggled

against the Ravens, going 4 of 11 for 79 yards before the injury. Dalton could end up starting on Thanksgiving when Chicago plays at Detroit. l COWBOYS: Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb suffered a concus- sion just before halftime of a 19-9 loss to the Chiefs. He landed hard after going up for a ball in the end zone that Charvarius Ward inter- cepted. Lamb was helped by trainers to the locker room and did not return. Cowboys safety Donovan Wil- son left with a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter. l JAGUARS: Urban Meyer has a wildly inconsistent team. It could be talent. It could be inexperience. It could be coaching. Regardless, it’s a problem for the Jaguars. Jacksonville delivered one of its biggest duds of the season in a 30 -10 home loss to San Francisco. The offense mustered a measly 200 yards on a season-low 44 plays and didn’t f ind the end zone until 3:04 remained. The defense allowed three touchdowns and two field goals in the 49ers’ first five drives, including a tone-set- ting, 20-play drive to open the game that took more than 13 minutes. “I’m not going to panic,” Meyer said. “That was a very poor display of football in so many areas.” l PACKERS: G reen Bay might have suffered a huge blow when left tackle Elgton Jenkins went out with an injury in a loss to NFC North rival Minnesota. Jenkins, a Pro Bowl selection at left guard last year, went down in the fourth quarter with an apparent injury to his left knee and was carted to the locker room. Jenkins moved to left tackle this season to replace David Bakhtiari, who has yet to return from a torn ACL suffered last year. l TITANS: Marcus Johnson, who had a 100 -yard receiving game last week, was ruled out after hurting his right hamstring late in the first quarter of a 22-13 loss to Houston.

Mooney caught five passes for 121 yards. Goodwin added 104 yards on four receptions. Robert Quinn h ad a career-high 3.5 sacks. But the Bears remained winless following b yes since 20 13. It didn’t help that the Bears were missing star linebacker Khalil Mack, who is expected to have season-ending foot surgery this week.

A nd they let the Bears hear it, showering them with boos. “We don’t go out there to lose a game or mess up a game,” linebacker Alec Ogletree said. “A nd we want to give the fans some- thing to cheer about.

BY ANDREW SELIGMAN

chicago — Tyler Huntley was on
the way to the game S unday when
he got the message from Lamar
Jackson.
The Baltimore Ravens’ star
quarterback was too s ick to play.
Subbing for Jackson, Huntley
led a winning drive capped by
Devonta Freeman’s three-yard
run with 22 seconds remaining,
and the R avens beat the Chicago
Bears, 16-13.
“It’s crazy,” Huntley said. “I was
walking toward the bus, and La-
mar texted me. He said, ‘Go do
your thing today, and [I’ll be]
watching.’ ”
Jackson was sidelined by ill-
ness for the AFC North-leading
Ravens (7-3), who ruled him out
90 minutes before k ickoff after he
took some throws on the field. The
2019 MVP was a full participant in
practice Friday after being held
out the previous two days.
Coach John Harbaugh said the
illness is not covid- 19 or influenza.
He said Jackson seemed to be
feeling better after the game,
though he expects him to keep
getting tested.
“He had it [Saturday]; he had it
on the plane,” Harbaugh said. “He
had it in the meetings at n ight. We
were hoping that he was going to
wake up feeling better. He didn’t.
He f elt worse.”
Justin Tucker kicked three field
goals, and the Ravens came away
with the w in after l osing the previ-
ous week at t he Miami Dolphins.
The Bears (3-7 ) lost their fifth
straight.
Chicago’s Andy Dalton threw
two touchdown passes, including
a 49-yarder to an open Marquise
Goodwin in the closing minutes.
Justin Fields had left the game
with injured ribs in the third
quarter.
Dalton found Goodwin deep
down the middle on fourth and 11
to cap a 75-yard drive and put
Chicago on top 13-9 with 1:41
remaining. Even though the two-
point conversion pass failed, the
Bears appeared to be in good
shape.
But Baltimore answered with
the 72 -yard touchdown drive.

Freeman ran it in after Huntley’s 29 -yard pass to Sammy Watkins put the ball on the 3, and the Ravens came out on top even without their best player. “I think it means a lot,” corner- back Marlon Humphrey said. “I think going into the game, there’s a lot of not knowing what was going to happen. We have two corners go down. All week, you don’t have Lamar, and then he comes back Friday, and you’re

like, ‘We’re good, we’re good.’ Then, you see him on the plane curled up in a ball, a nd I look over, I’m like, ‘I don’t think this guy’s going to b e able to play.’ It w as just crazy.” Huntley completed 26 of 36 passes for 219 yards in his first career start. The second-year pro who was undrafted out of Utah also threw an interception and got sacked six times in his fifth pro appearance.

Fields took a big s tep backward following several promising outings. The rookie was 4 of 11 for 79 yards after throwing for a career- high 291 yards at the Pittsburgh Steelers two weeks ago. After the game, Coach Matt Nagy h ad no update on the extent of his injury o r his status for the game at the Detroit Lions on Thursday. “When you’re talking about ribs, you’ve got to find out how

much it affects him,” Nagy said. “We as a staff have to talk through all that.” Dalton said he’ll be ready either way. “I prepare the same way I’ve prepared this whole year. So if I’m starting, I’ll be ready to go,” he said. Dalton, who started the first two games before a knee injury in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, came in with 8:46 left in

With Jackson sidelined, backup Huntley rallies Baltimore

Cardinals 23, Seahawks 13

Colt McCoy was outstanding filling in for Kyler Murray, throwing for 328 yards and two touchdowns for Arizona. For the second straight season, McCoy was a backup thrust into a starting role in Seattle and walked away with a victory. Last year, McCoy was with the New York Giants. This season, it was with Murray missing a third straight game because of an ankle injury. McCoy went 35 of 44 and thor- oughly outplayed Seattle’s Rus- sell Wilson. McCoy threw touchdown passes of one and two yards to Zach Ertz in the first half, got a bit of luck in the third quarter when a potential interception was overturned on re- play and had his first 300-yard passing game since 20 14. Arizona had scoring drives of 92 and 82 yards in the first half that ate up 16 minutes. The Car- dinals ran off another 71 / 2 minutes early in the fourth quarter, but Matt Prater missed a field goal attempt to give Seattle hope. The Seahawks then snapped a streak of 20 straight offensive drives without a touchdown but couldn’t get closer than 16 -13.
