Here are the week six Bears power rankings from various sites around the web:
ESPN: #7 (Last week: 11)
Analysis, “The Bears are winning, but QB Jay Cutler (concussion) cannot come back soon enough.”
SI.com: #8 (Last week: 11)
Analysis, “I listened to Bears talk on the radio Monday night as I drove down to Chicago for the NFL owners meeting, and their fans seem pretty evenly divided between those who can’t believe how charmed Lovie Smith‘s club has been and those who just want to sit back and enjoy 4-1 for what it is — a first-place record in the NFC North. I can see both sides of the debate, but this is one of those years in the NFL where you can’t get too concerned with style points. When almost everyone’s winning ugly, no one’s ugly really stands out.”
Fox Sports: # 5 (Last week: 12)
Analysis, “I’m still stunned that the Bears could overcome a four interception performance from QB Todd Collins to win easily against the Panthers last week. Obviously, it didn’t hurt that RB Matt Forte put up 166 yards and two scores on the ground.”
Yahoo Sports: #10 (Last week: 11)
Analysis, “Has a victorious NFL quarterback ever looked as atrocious as Todd Collins did in Carolina on Sunday?”
CBS Sports: #7 (Last week: 11)
Analysis, “Jay Cutler, get well soon. They can’t afford another game with Todd Collins starting at quarterback. The Bears defense has played well all season.”
Pro Football Weekly: # 8 (Last week: 13)
Analysis, “Lucky that Forté took over, the way Collins played.”
Pro Football Talk: #8 (Last week: 12)
Analysis, “Reality eventually will catch up with this team. But there’s a good chance it won’t happen until the middle of January.”
