Week 3 NFL Power Rankings

3. Cincinnati Bengals (Last week: 6)

The Bengals made the Falcons look weak, and this defense looks like it should vie to be one of the league’s best. They leapfrog New England.

What to know: Those Falcons wide receivers that burned the New Orleans secondary in Week 1 had no shot against Leon Hall. According to Pro Football Focus, anybody Hall covered faced skin-tight coverage, as the corner allowed only 31 yards and a 30.7 passer rating.
