NFL Power Rankings: Pre-training camp edition

44. Even with new coach Dan Quinn running the show, the Falcons will have a tough time stopping anyone with that defense. Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and the rest of the offense will have to score 35+most weeks if they’re going to be able to win.. (0-0). Previous: 20th. Atlanta Falcons. 20. team
