NFL Power Rankings, Week 9: 49ers embarrass Panthers, Eagles shock Bills

23. Chicago Bears (16)

Is it officially time for the Chicago Bears to hit the panic button after suffering a third loss in a row?

With another struggling team in the Los Angeles Chargers coming to town, this seemed like the perfect opportunity for the Bears to get back on the winning track.

Once again, kicking issues continue to haunt Chicago as a team when seeing how Eddy Pinerio was in the perfect position to convert what would have been a game-winning field goal at the end of the game, only to come up short.

And if the kicking issues weren’t already causing enough frustration for the Bears, the questions continue for Mitch Trubisky as to whether he’s the best option for Chicago under center.

After taking a major leap in the right direction last season, Trubisky has somehow found a way to take a step back in 2019, and finished with yet another disappointing performance against the Chargers after only throwing for 253 yards without a single touchdown pass.

Since the Bears already have one of the top defenses in the league, Trubisky just needs to find a way to do enough on offense to help put Chicago in better position to win games, but unfortunately this continues to be an issue.

And with the Detroit Lions finding a way to defeat the New York Giants on Sunday, the Bears are officially in last place all alone in the NFC North standings.
