ESPN’s Bears Rankings Don’t Add Up | Chicago Bears News

ESPN’s latest NFL position group rankings leave fans scratching their heads—especially when it comes to the Chicago Bears. Despite posting the fourth-best rushing attack by EPA per run last season, the Bears’ backfield landed at a dismal 24th. Meanwhile, their wide receivers, led by Luther Burden’s elite route efficiency and standout performances from Odunze, Walker, and Raymond, got a surprisingly high ninth-place nod—even after trading DJ Moore, whose production per route wasn’t elite. And the edge rushers? Ranked 22nd despite being 21st in sacks per game—a metric that ignores critical pressure and run-stopping metrics. The episode challenges listeners to question ranking methodologies and urges them to dig deeper into film and advanced stats before accepting any “objective” analysis at face value.
