NFL Power Rankings, Week 7: 49ers, Texans make statements as contenders

14. Chicago Bears (15)

Brutal doesn’t even begin to describe how the trip to London went for the Chicago Bears since their meeting with the Oakland Raiders seemed like it would work to their advantage before Matt Nagy’s squad finished on the losing end.

To top it off, the Bears will face another difficult challenge following their bye week against another top contender in the NFC with the New Orleans Saints.

Clearly, Chase Daniel isn’t as reliable as Chicago expected him to be, and if the Bears are forced to go with him under center again for Week 7 as a result of Mitch Trubisky still being hurt, the Saints could take full advantage of the situation.

When looking at how the rest of the NFC North is shaping out, every win is going to be extremely important for the Bears moving forward since the last thing they want to do is fall behind their rivals in the division standings.

With three of their next four games at home, here’s to hoping the Bears can take advantage of the situation, and finish the month of October on a hot note since one can only imagine how intense the final two months of the regular season will be.
