2021 NFL Power Rankings, Week 7: Ravens win big, Cowboys steal one in OT

After taking a trip across the pond in Week 5, the Atlanta Falcons will now take a week off in Week 6. One of four teams on a bye, the Falcons scored a win over the Jets and while that might not be super impressive, they still needed something positive to happen.

Now sitting at 2-3, they have an extra week to prepare for the Miami Dolphins who have had issues of their own. Should they be able to secure a win there, they could be in good shape as they have back-to-back NFC North battles after that against the Panthers and Saints.

There’s still time for them to save this season but they have to make sure they play much better after the bye.

The Philadelphia Eagles fell to 2-4 on the season as they lost to the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football. While some say there are no moral victories, the Eagles should at least be proud of the fact that they came back from a 28-7 deficit and pulled it to within six with just under six minutes to go.

Then, Tom Brady did what he normally does and broke hearts by methodically killing the clock. Philly just needs to figure out how to perform more like the team we saw in the final 30 minutes of that game than the one that showed up for the first 30 minutes.

If they get down, they could be a much better team.
