16. Chicago Bears (15)

The Chicago Bears are now 1-1, but their defense has given up only 24 points in the two weeks. They were all over Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers and held them to just 10 points in the first game of the season and they came back to play in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos.

They made life hard of Joe Flacco this time and held them to only 14 points, which was enough to get the win. The concern is the fact that their offense isn’t doing much at all.

They had just 16 in the win here but were able to muster up just three the first game. So for those keeping score at home, they’re still looking to cross the 20-point plateau on the season themselves.

Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is to blame for a lot of the struggles on that side as he’s been wildly inconsistent in his career thus far and he continued that trend by throwing for just 120 yards on the day.

They’re clearly not out of the divisional race after two weeks but they need their offense to start making something happen if they hope to repeat as NFC North champions this year.
