NFL Power Rankings, Week 15: 49ers win thriller over Saints, Chiefs stake claim

14. Chicago Bears (18)

One can only imagine how frustrated Chicago Bears fans are feeling at the moment over how the offense has looked the last couple of weeks since this is what they expected all year, especially from Mitch Trubisky.

After playing a role in helping the Bears win the NFC North title last season, Trubisky was expected to take a major step in the right direction after earning another year of experience as a starter.

As Chicago fans learned the hard way, this was far from the case when looking at some of the horrendous performances by Trubisky and the rest of the offense at times, but at least his play as of late has provided hope for the future.

Watching Trubisky finish Thursday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys with four touchdowns (one rushing) has not only given Bears fans more hope for the future with their quarterback under center, but also a fighting chance for a playoff spot in the NFC.

Chicago making the playoffs seems like an absolute long shot at the moment, but with the team winning three in a row along with the possibility of receiving surprise help during these final three weeks, who knows what may happen for the Bears.
