Pro Football Weekly:
#17 (Last week: 18)
Analysis, “Bad opponent shouldn’t obscure the problems that still remain.”
Fox Sports:
#16 (Last week: 19)
Analysis, “Does this team seem headed for Jay Cutler’s annual 8-8 or 7-9 finish? Just two cupcakes remain on Chicago’s schedule, and we’re entering the cold, Windy City months when the Bears will need to revive their ailing running game. THIS WEEK: vs. Cardinals (4-3).”
CBS:
#17 (Last week: 19)
Analysis, “Nothing like the Cleveland Browns to provide the perfect potion for all that ails a team. Facing Arizona at home this week won’t be as easy.”
