The Chicago Bears seriously need to get rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky some receiving help. Right now, the No. 2 overall pick is either handing the ball off to running back Jordan Howard or throwing it to sub-par receivers and hoping for the best.

The former is working, as Howard had 125 yards rushing and a touchdown in this NFC North loss. But the latter? Not so much.

Ironically enough, Chicago was up 10-0 early in the game. And one would have thought its defense, usually pretty good at home, would have held the Lions in check.

Not the case, though, and the Bears fall a spot in our NFL power rankings this week.
