Follow the Bears - after week 4.

To follow the Bears as they ascend the rankings:

After Week 4:

ESPN's NFL Power Ranking: Bears at Number 1!: Only the most cynical of fans would complain about Chicago's pantsing of Seattle in front of the nation. There's no denying that the Bears are the best team in the NFC right now and probably in the NFL.

CBS Sportsline NFL Power Ranking: Bears at Number 2: They are the only unbeaten team in the NFC. With a soft schedule the rest of the way, they look like the team to beat for the No. 1 seed. Is that offense for real? It looks like it.

Fox Sports NFL Power Bears at Number 2: Rex Grossman-to-Bernard Berrian may be the most electrifying QB-WR combo in the league. All those two do is convert 60-yard touchdowns. Watching Grossman and Berrian connect is reminiscent of those old Jeff Blake-Darnay Scott bomb plays in the early '90s. Yes, that was just a Darnay Scott reference in 2006. Chicago’s D is unbreakable, and four weeks into the season, the Bears are far and away the class of the NFC.


Dr. Z's Power Ranking: Bears are listed at number 1!!! Shocking as Dr. Z does not drink Blue and Orange Kool-Aid: Is there anything about this team that I don't like, after watching the way they took the Seahawks apart? Not sure about their offensive line, but there are very few of them in the NFL that I do like. Can Rex Grossman bring his team back on the road with a minute and a half and no timeouts left? Not really sure. He came back OK against the Vikings. I'll say one thing for him: He can throw the deep ball with touch and accuracy, and not many other guys can do this. No, actually there are not many things I don't like.
