Bears make a huge leap in ESPN’s NFL Power Rankings

The Chicago Bears climbed three spots into the top 10 of ESPN's NFL Power Rankings following their 3-1 start to the season. The rise comes despite starting quarterback Caleb Williams being sidelined due to a hamstring injury, with backups Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent stepping in to secure victories.

ESPN's Courtney Cronin highlighted that the Bears lead the NFL in total yards, first downs, and time of possession, alongside possessing the league's top rushing attack with 785 yards. Head coach Ben Johnson praised the roster's depth, expressing confidence in the team's ability to compete weekly.
