Chicago Bears: Week 2 Power Rankings (#1)

The Bears take over the #1 spot with a blowout win in which they were impressive on both sides of the ball, even though Brian Urlacher was playing hurt, against an underrated Colts team. I’ve been high on this team all offseason, but could never put them ahead of the Packers in the NFC because I thought the Packers were so good, but that defense looks like a mess in Green Bay. Of course, we’ll get an answer on Bears/Packers when the Bears head to Lambeau this week for Thursday Night Football. Stay tuned.
