2017 NFL Power Rankings Week 10: Los Angeles Rams continue to impress following bye

22. Chicago Bears (17)

For the most part, the argument can be made the Chicago Bears have been exceeding expectations this season since nobody was giving this team much of a chance at the beginning of the year. But thanks to the defense putting together some impressive performances, the Bears entered their bye week already matching their win total from a year ago, two of which came against the Baltimore Ravens and Carolina Panthers.

With a week off, Chicago will next prepare for their second meeting against the Green Bay Packers in Week 10, although the circumstances are completely different this time around. Not only will the Bears be rolling with Mitch Trubisky at quarterback, but the Packers will continue working with Brett Hundley since Aaron Rodgers is currently recovering from the broken collarbone injury suffered a few weeks ago.

Green Bay had zero issues getting by their division rivals the first time around, but also a major reason as to why that happened was due to Rodgers looking like his elite self. At least from Chicago’s perspective, all eyes will be on Trubisky to see whether the rookie quarterback can finally figure out a way to get going on offense since he hasn’t thrown a single touchdown pass in each of the last two games.
