Here is the NFC North's power rankings following Week 3!
Even though the Bears have a pretty solid 2-1 record so far this season, it has not always been pretty and we need to see massive improvement quickly in order for this year's team to make a playoff push.
With that being said, here is what the BearsWire crew had to say about the Bears Power Rankings in the NFC North.
CHICAGO BEARS: 4th
Last week's ranking: No. 4
Week 3 result: 23-20 win vs. Houston Texans
It feels dirty putting the Bears last despite their victory and 2-1 record. But when half of your offense is almost useless up to this point, it's justified. The Bears have an elite running game and a poor passing attack that would even make high schools in the area cringe. They got it done against a bad Houston Texans team though and saved what could have been a game-winning field goal late in the game. The Bears are banking wins while needing to drastically improve their overall offensive production. It's great in the standings, not so great in power ranking

I agree that the Bears are objectively the 4th best team in the division as we speak. I think that the Vikings and the Packers are clearly the two best teams and the Detroit Lions are playing amazing football as well so far. However, I think the Bears could benefit form a very soft schedule and potentially make some noise in the NFC playoff run!
