New England Patriots shockingly drop in ESPN NFL Power Rankings

The New England Patriots once again handled their business in Week 7. New England traveled to take on the upstart Chicago Bears and looked shaky at the beginning. However, they were able to get their bearings and knock off the NFC North-leading Bears.

With the victory, the Patriots have improved their record to 5-2 on the season. It seems like an eternity ago that people questioned whether this was the year that the Patriots dynasty began to crumble. Once again, those people were wrong.

However, the game against the Bears was no cakewalk. New England trailed by as many as 10 points in the first half before mounting their comeback.
