We are officially through Week 8, leaving nine weeks of football for the San Francisco 49ers. This past week closed out with the Chicago Bears upsetting the Minnesota Vikings 20-10 on Monday Night Football. We’re back with the Week 9 NFL power rankings. The Bears have been slotted just ahead of the 49ers the past few weeks, but they get the slightest of bumps with the win.
The 49ers remain at the bottom of my power rankings. The bye week does not give me any reason to remove the infinity symbol. Maybe they’ll show some semblance of improvement in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints, who are coming off a home win over the Seattle Seahawks.
