Bears Remain At No.16 In Latest CBS Sports NFL Power Rankings

For the Chicago Bears, it's hard to make much of an impression when you are resting up on your bye week. The real test will come in next week's Monday Night matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, but for now the Bears are in a holding pattern in the rankings.

At this stage Prisco has the Bears on the outside of the playoff picture as the seventh ranked NFC team behind other wildcard hopefuls like the Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, and New Orleans Saints
