Win Over Rams Doesn’t Help Bears In Power Rankings

Posted on December 08, 2009 by Jake Perper
St. Louis Rams v Chicago Bears

Victory over the Rams did not do much to impress NFL analysts.

Here are the Week 14 Bears power rankings from various sites around the web:

Yahoo Sports: #24 (Last week: 23)

Analysis, “If the Bears try to trade Lance Briggs during the offseason, will Sunday’s performance by Jamar Williams be the impetus?”

ESPN: #24 (Last week: 23)

Analysis, “The best news in an ugly victory over St. Louis: Jay Cutler didn’t throw an interception.”

CBS Sports: #25 (Last week: 25)

Analysis, “It’s too bad they can’t play the Rams every Sunday. The heat might not be as intense on Jay Cutler and Lovie Smith.”

Pro Football Weekly: #23 (Last week: 22)

Analysis, “Another wholly uninspiring game, though Jamar Williams was great.”

Fox Sports: #24 (Last week: 23)

Analysis, “Big deal, right? So they beat the Rams. But what’s up with Jay Cutler? The gunner is averaging just 153.3 passing yards over the last three games. Hmm, it seems all the talk about throwing all those picks is also getting in his grill.”
