Bears NFL power rankings round-up going into Week 14

After their sixth straight loss, the Bears are near the bottom of NFL power rankings heading into Week 14.

After losing to the Green Bay Packers, 28-19, the Chicago Bears are now 3-10 and officially eliminated from the playoffs. With four games left on the season, there’s little to be excited about for fans. The team remains at the bottom of the standings and near the bottom of NFL power rankings.

Unlike the last two weeks, the Bears didn’t face any harsh injuries. They got out of their nine-point loss healthy, for the most part. Chase Claypool did go down with a knee injury early in the game but did return and doesn’t seem to have any long-lasting effects.

Chicago will have the week off to rest and mentally prepare for their Week 15 game against the Eagles, the team with the best record in the NFL. It’s a much-needed rest for a Bears team that hasn’t won a game since October.

Here’s where the Bears stand in the power rankings going into Week 14.

Bears NFL power rankings round-up going into Week 13

Let’s take a look at where the Bears stand in the power rankings going into Week 13 against the Packers.

After losing to the New York Jets, 31-10, the Chicago Bears are now 3-9 and have no chance of a winning record in 2022. They remain towards the bottom of the league going into Week 13.

This loss, just like last week, was made worse by injuries. Darnell Mooney (ankle) and Eddie Jackson (foot) both suffered season-ending injuries.

Chicago will play the Green Bay Packers in Week 13, for the second time this season. The first time these two played was all the way back in Week 2. Green Bay took that game, 27-10.

Bears NFL power rankings round-up going into Week 12

Let’s take a look at where the Bears stand in the power rankings going into Week 12 against the Jets.

After losing 27-24 to the Atlanta Falcons, the Chicago Bears have fallen in most NFL power rankings going into Week 12.

The loss is made all the worse by quarterback Justin Fields suffering a left shoulder injury that has his status in question.

The Bears are back on the road to play the New York Jets on Sunday. This will be the second time this season they play at MetLife stadium, losing their first matchup to the New York Giants, 20-12. Chicago will look to even out their record there to 1-1.

Bears NFL power rankings round-up going into Week 11

Let’s take a look at where the Bears stand in the power rankings going into Week 11 against the Falcons.

The Chicago Bears lost a close game against the Detroit Lions, 31-30, on Sunday. A missed extra point by Cairo Santos ended up being the final nail in the Bears’ coffin.

Despite the loss, Chicago’s offense continued to improve. They’ve now scored 29-plus points in their last four games. They are the only team since the NFL/AFL merger to score 29-plus points in three straight games and lose all of those games.

Bears NFL power rankings round-up going into Week 10

Following a 35-32 shootout loss, the Bears are trending up in the Week 10 power rankings.

The Chicago Bears lost a close game, 35-32, to the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. Justin Fields played lights out, breaking the NFL record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single game with 178.

The Bears are trending in the right direction offensively. The issue has turned to their defense. Matt Eberflus and Alan Williams are dealing with the fallout of the losses Roquan Smith and Robert Quinn. They have to patch those holes up in order for Chicago to win football games.

Bears NFL power rankings round-up going into Week 9

Despite a blowout loss to the Cowboys, the Bears didn’t fall too far in the Week 9 power rankings.

After two solid offensive showings by the Chicago Bears, they’re starting to improve in some power rankings.

Quarterback Justin Fields has led his offense to 62 points over the last two games, with a 1-1 record. He has played the best two-game stretch of his young career, with fans getting very excited going into Week 9.

Here’s where the Bears stand in the NFL power rankings ahead of Week 9:

Week 9 NFC North power rankings: Vikings keep pulling away

It’s still too early to call, but the NFC North looks like a one-team race after eight weeks of the 2022 season.

It’s been a rough season for the majority of the NFC North and Week 8 was much of the same. All but one team in the division lost their matchup on Sunday and the lone victor just happened to be the division leaders.

The Minnesota Vikings continued to pull away in the standings and in the power rankings, defeating the Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, and Detroit Lions all dropped their games to stay stuck in their respective places.

It’s clearly a one-team race now, with the Vikings on top, but here’s how the rest of the division looks in this week’s power rankings.

Bears NFL power rankings round-up going into Week 8

After an upset win over the Patriots, the Bears have climbed the Week 8 power rankings.

The Chicago Bears defeated the New England Patriots 33-14 on Monday Night Football. This was the first time since 2000 that Chicago has had a win over New England. Naturally, their upset over New England shot them up the Week 8 power rankings.

Justin Fields and the Bears’ offense did a total 180, looking like an entirely new team after their seven-point showing against the Washington Commanders in Week 6. It appeared that the embarrassing loss at home struck a nerve, and their 11-day break gave them the time to change things. Whatever they did worked, as they took their biggest win of the season and are now just one game below .500.

Let’s take a look at where the Bears stand in the power rankings going into Week 8.

Bears NFL power rankings round-up going into Week 6

Despite losing two straight games, the Bears have risen in NFL Week 6 power rankings.

After a Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the Chicago Bears are now 2-3. Despite losing two straight games, the Bears have risen in the Week 6 power rankings.

This week, Chicago faces the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. If the Bears offense can get going early and play as well as they did in the second half against the Vikings, they should come out on top.

The only issue is, Chicago has struggled with being consistent. So much so that, in their two wins this season, quarterback Justin Fields completed just 47.1% of his passes – twice.

Before the Bears host the Commanders, let’s take a look at where they stand in the power rankings going into Week 6.

Bears NFL power rankings round-up going into Week 4

Following a narrow victory against the Texans, the Bears have moved up in the Week 4 power rankings.

After a Week 3 win against the Houston Texans, the Chicago Bears trended up in the power rankings. The rushing attack and defense have looked solid in Chicago’s two wins – the passing attack has been a different story.

Despite Justin Fields’ struggling play through three weeks, the Bears are 2-1. If he can produce at a higher level, this team has the potential to hold their own against good teams.

Here’s where the Bears stand in the Week 4 power rankings:
