Chicago Bears v San Francisco 49ers

The loss to the 49ers keeps the Bears falling in the weekly power rankings.

Here are the Week 11 Bears power rankings from various sites around the web:

ESPN: #23 (Last week: 19)

Analysis, “The Bears have lost four of their past five.”

Yahoo Sports: #23 (Last week: 20)

Analysis, “Did Jay Cutler send a thank-you gift basket to Bill Belichick Sunday night (and, if so, was it intercepted)?”

Pro Football Weekly: #22 (Last week: 18)

Analysis, “And how do they plan to fix this offensive line without draft picks?”

Fox Sports: #23 (Last week: 19)

Analysis, “Turnovers tell the story for the Bears in 2009. When limiting turnovers to two or fewer, Chicago is 4-1 and averaging 28.2 ppg. Unfortunately, they’ve committed 3-plus turnovers four times, in which case they are 0-4 and averaging 11.3 ppg.”

CBS Sports: #20 (Last week: 19)

Analysis, “You have to start to wonder about Jay Cutler. He’s trying to do too much. Where’s Matt Forte? They are a playoff long shot now.”
