The Pittsburgh Steelers remain at number 4 in the power rankings this week. The Steelers had a closer than expected battle with their AFC North foes, the Cleveland Browns.

The Atlanta Falcons stay at number 3 in the NFL Power rankings for the week. The Falcons squeaked by the Chicago Bears on the road 23-17.

This will be par for the course for the Falcons this season as with being NFC Champions, they have a target on their backs and will face the best of any team they face and they’ll have to be prepared for that. Matt Ryan passed for 321 yards and threw for a touchdown, but the Falcons will need to get their running game going as they face Aaron Rodgers and the Green bay Packers in week 2 for a rematch of the NFC Championship game..
