32. Chicago Bears (32)

For a team nobody was really giving a shot to win in Week 1, the Chicago Bears deserve a little credit for their performance against the Houston Texans.

Nobody could have predicted the Bears would find themselves up 14-10 at halftime against the Texans, but the offense failed to put up any points in the second half before going on to lose the game 23-14. As frustrating as this loss was, Chicago has to feel somewhat better with their performance against one of the league’s early favorites to reach the Super Bowl.

If this team is going to have any chance of competing in the NFC, the Bears are going to need a big season from Alshon Jeffery. After catching four passes for 105 yards against the Texans, it’s safe to say the wide receiver is off to a solid start.

Next on the agenda, find a way to get Jeremy Langford (57 rushing yards and a touchdown on 17 carries) going in the ground game.

Next: 31. Cleveland Browns
