Week 2 NFL Power Rankings

10. Atlanta Falcons (Last week: 14)

Maybe we underrated the difference a healthy Julio Jones and Roddy White would have on the Falcons offense, because they were equally as dynamic as the NFC South favorites. The defense isn’t spectacular, but apparently neither is New Orleans’.

What to know: It was a career day for Ryan, racking up 448 passing yards. But bigger than his overall numbers was his clutchness. Ryan led a game-tying field goal drive then a game-winning drive in overtime.
