The Bears remained pretty steady in the latest round of NFL power rankings. The consensus seems to be, at least right now, that this is a decent team with a shot at making the playoffs – but far from a great team.
In the latest round of power rankings, the Bears’ average spot is 14.8. The overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints didn’t inflict too much of a drop from a week earlier.
Here’s where local and national outlets rank the Bears after Week 8:
Shaw Local: 13
Writes our Hub Arkush: “With any offense they’d be dangerous, huge O-line worries now.”
Chicago Tribune: 15
Writes the Chicago Tribune: “The offense is such that the Bears will struggle to win when they don’t benefit from an advantage in takeaways, field position and penalties.”
ESPN: 13
Writes ESPN: “[Cairo] Santos single-handedly solved Chicago's kicker crisis. Signed in late summer after Eddy Pineiro suffered a groin injury, Santos has been the Bears' best offensive weapon through eight games.”
NFL.com: 15
Writes NFL.com: “The Bears nearly did it again on Sunday, rallying back from a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit to force overtime against the Saints. But the offense stalled in its one possession in the extra period.”
Sports Illustrated: 16
Writes Sports Illustrated: “You, me, Troy Aikman, Nick Foles … we are all confounded by this Bears offense.”
USA Today: 17
Writes USA Today: “This offense had been basically punchless all season ... until (now suspended) WR Javon Wims did his best to change that.”
CBS Sports: 16
Writes CBS Sports: “Their fast start looks to be fading away with two losses in a row. At least the offense got them back into it against the Saints, which is progress.”
The Athletic: 16
Writes The Athletic: “I’m not so sure Troy Aikman has ever been more disgusted watching an NFL offense. He was crushing the Bears all game long during the FOX broadcast.”
Yahoo Sports: 15
Writes Yahoo Sports: “How are things going in Chicago? The headline on Mark Potash’s column for the Chicago Sun-Times on Monday: “Why is Nick Foles worse than Mitch Trubisky?” So ... yeah.”
Bleacher Report: 12
Writes Bleacher Report: “Chicago has played four teams this season that presently sport a winning record and is 1-3 in those games.”
