NFL Power Rankings What Super Bowl hango

We're just two games into the NFL season, but it seems like the have found the remedy for the hangover.It's called having a damn good team.Since they blew the 25-point lead Joe Blanton Jersey to the in the Super Bowl last February, all we've heard about was how they would have problems responding to that lo s.As a team, they did a lot of things to overcome it, including training with Navy Seals, having head coach Dan Quinn reach out to a lot of coaches in other sports who had those types of lo ses, and having their MVP quarterback go into a funk for two weeks before snapping out of it.It all seems to have worked. The Falcons blew out the injury-plagued Sunday night to stake a claim as the best team in the NFC, and right now the top team in my Power Rankings.I thought all summer that the Falcons would have no i sues bouncing back from the lo s in large part because I thought their team would be much improved on defense. The offense can still be a points machine, which we saw glimpses of Sunday night, but it's that defense that will make this team better -- and a real threat to get back to the Super Bowl.Against the Packers, the Falcons had three sacks and two takeaways, returning one for a touchdown, while showing off their defensive strength. Corner , who didn't play in the playoffs last season after being lost with a shoulder injury, got the touchdown on a fumble recovery and also had an interception of .The rest of the defense is playing much faster, mainly because they are a year older. This was a defense that started four rookies in the Super Bowl. So about that Super Bowl hangover, you can forget about it. Being good, which the Falcons are again, is a cure for it. Biggest Movers 6 Commanders 6 Cowboys RkTeams ChgRcrd 1 They still haven't quite clicked Matt Wieters Jersey on offense yet, but it's coming. When it does, watch out. 1 7-10-0 2 Here's another team that hasn't been as good as expected on offense. Maybe Le'Veon Bell mi sing the preseason matters now. 1 9-8-0 3 This team is for real, which I didn't expect. They have two victories over two good teams. Watch out in Los Angeles this week. 1 14-3-0 4 That team we saw in New Orleans is the one we expected to see all season. The defense made big strides. 1 8-9-0 5 The injuries are really starting to pile up. It would be nice to see this team at full strength. 4 8-9-0 6 That offense is going to put up a ton of points. It must be nice to have one of the league's best offensive lines. 1 6-11-0 7 If Trevor Siemian keeps it going, they will be a deep playoff team. But now they have to play their first road game at Buffalo. 5 5-12-0 8 The defense Patrick Corbin Jersey was impre sive against the Bears, which could make this team even better than expected. 2 8-9-0 9 Where is the offense? It can't do much without an offensive line. Chris Carson did give them some hope in the fourth quarter running the football. 1 9-8-0 10 Winning on the road against the Giants Monday night is a good sign. That defense is much improved over a year ago. 1 9-8-0 11 That was a big-time win on the road after dealing with a lot of i sues the past few weeks. Jay Cutler did some good things in that victory. -- 9-8-0 12 The loafing in the blowout lo s to the Broncos was not a good look. Neither was Jason Garrett putting the offensive i sues on Dak Prescott. 6 12-5-0 13 The defense is off to a fast start, but Cam Newton hasn't looked himself throwing it. Maybe that shoulder is still an i sue. 2 7-10-0 14 The defense is playing great football, and taking it away. They haven't played good offenses yet, and won't this week against Jacksonville. 2 10-7-0 15 The defense has impre sed in the first two weeks. The front four is nasty. 2 14-3-0 16 I didn't think they would win at Pittsburgh with a healthy Sam Bradford, but now his knee might be an i sue going forward. That's not good. 2 13-4-0 17 They haven't looked good the first two weeks, but now come home for a big one against Dallas. Brian Goodwin Jersey They had five offensive starters out last week against the Colts. 2 4-13-0 18 The Titans were staring 0-2 in the face, but had a big second half against the Jaguars to get back on track. They looked like the team we expected to see before the season. 3 7-10-0 19 They ran all over the Rams, which is a good sign for the offense. Now they have to amp up the pa sing game. 6 8-8-1 20 What happened to the defense? Wasn't Aaron Donald back for this one? It wasn't good. 2 5-12-0 21 The same old song: Losing close games. When does it end? 1 10-7-0 22 The offensive line is killing this team. They have a survival game this week at Philadelphia. 5 9-7-1 23 The offense is pedestrian, which is why the defense will be stre sed all season long. They have to be able to throw it better. 1 9-8-0 24 Deshaun Watson did some good things with his legs against the Bengals, but he has to be better throwing it. 1 3-13-1 25 Their offense has to improve. They didn't do anything against the Panthers. LeSean McCoy needs more touches than what he got against Carolina. 2 13-3-0 26 The defense is the same as always: Horrible. Do they cover anybody? -- 7-10-0 27 It's now eight quarters being shutout. Do they really think a change in coordinators will matter? The line stinks. 3 12-4-0 28 DeShone Kizer will have growing pains like he did against the Ravens. It happens to rookie pa sers. This is a learning year. -- 7-10-0 29 Why don't they just play Mitchell Trubisky? Max Scherzer Jersey It's clear they aren't going anywhere. -- 3-14-0 30 They competed against the Cardinals, which is an improvement. Andrew Luck is sorely mi sed. -- 4-12-1 31 They ran the ball well against Seattle, so they have that to build on. The pa sing game has to be better. -- 13-4-0 32 They make so many mistakes. It's going to be a long, long season. -- 7-10-0
