NFC North Week 8 power rankings: Bears jump the Packers

The Bears finally overtake the Packers in this week’s NFC North power rankings.

We’re on the cusp of the halfway point of the 2022 NFL season and the NFC North is still a one-team race.

The 5-1 Minnesota Vikings were off this week, but remain firmly in first place in the standings. Second place got a little murkier, however, as the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers are each tied with a 3-4 record, though the Packers hold the tiebreaker at this point. The Detroit Lions, meanwhile, continue to bring up the rear at 1-7.

The standings say one thing, but will the power rankings say another? Here are our Week 8 power rankings for the NFC North division.
