Bears inch closer to top 10 in Yahoo NFL Power Rankings

The Chicago Bears checked in at No. 11 in Yahoo Sports' latest 2026 NFL power rankings: "Caleb Williams is going to be better in Year 3, and while plenty of rookie head coaches have one big season and fade, Ben Johnson looks like a great hire," Yahoo Sports wrote. "Still, those regression factors are real and numerous. Also, the defense is a major question mark. There will be some pullback. Yet, Chicago still has a good shot at a playoff berth and keeping their momentum going beyond this season, even if it doesn't come with a second straight division title."
