Atlanta Falcons: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#5)

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  September 19, 2012
Last week: 5 (+0) Record: 2-0 I wasn’t that impressed with the Falcons on Monday Night. I felt like they should have been up 20 given how badly the Broncos started and how much they turned the ball over, but they didn’t capitalize like they should have. They lost the yardage total battle and the yards per play battle and if it wasn’t for those 4 turnovers, they probably would...

I’ve seen this in a horror movie before Juan… Jones went nuts the first week of the season, but came back to earth in week 2.  He dropped a TD and a couple other passes as Roddy White went off.  I’m not worried about Julio continuing to dominate as he is an absolute beast.
