NFL power rankings: Where do all 32 teams stack up entering Week 11?
By Peter Panacy
Week 10 revealed a vintage Atlanta Falcons performance at home against the Dallas Cowboys, for sure.
2017 has been weird for the defending NFC champions, and this particular contest could almost be viewed as a must-win game for a Falcons team coming off four loses in five games before Week 10.
Granted, the Falcons didn’t have to worry about Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (suspension). But Dallas’ offense remains potent, so give credit to Atlanta’s defense for holding it to just 233 all-purpose yards.
Meanwhile, quarterback Matt Ryan looked like his usual self, tossing two touchdowns against and interception, although losing running back Devonta Freeman to a concussion sure hurts.
