Look, I could waste your time by summarizing where the Falcons are in the power rankings after their bye week, but they literally did not do anything that would impact their stock one way or the other. Power rankings are enough of a subjective measurement to begin with, and when Atlanta isn’t even playing, you really don’t care.
Instead, let’s talk about a ranking for this week that more closely maps to what the Falcons have actually done on the field and then we’ll return to snapping up whatever SB Nation and ESPN have in store for our Falcons after this coming Sunday’s game.
