After five weeks of play, the Chicago Bears<\/a> hold the 3rd spot in the NFC North standings.<\/span><\/p>\n

In all honesty, that\u2019s about right where we\u2019d expect them to be. It\u2019s not hard to see that the Vikings are the top team in the conference, followed by the Packers and Bears, with the Lions at the bottom. Although, to be fair, the Detroit Lions are no slouch of a football team, and you could realistically shuffle the bottom two teams around on any given day. The Bears can beat the Lions, the Lions can beat the Bears, and they can both perform about the same against the rest of the league. But we\u2019ll digress.<\/span><\/p>\n

So how exactly did the Bears get to third place in the NFC North standings to start their 22-23\u2019 season? Let\u2019s find out!<\/span><\/p>\n
