NFL Power Rankings: Steelers climbing the ladder heading into Week 6

28. Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons might have one of the least talented rosters in all of football so far this season, but even an aging Matt Ryan is going to be good enough to help keep them in contests this year.

In the first two weeks of the season, this Falcons team was utterly embarrassed by the Eagles and Buccaneers, respectively. In these two games, they combined to allow a whopping 80 points while scoring just 31 of their own over that span.

Since then, this team has taken a drastic turn for the better, and Atlanta has lost by just one score in each of the past three games (albeit against relatively poor competition).

This week, the Falcons have a very winnable game against a disappointing Miami Dolphins who are off to a 1-4 start to the 2021 season. With an impressive performance on the road in Week 6, Atlanta has a chance to boost themselves up a bit in the power rankings.
