The Atlanta Falcons were ESPN's biggest loser in their Week 8 NFL Power Rankings after a 20-point loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
The Falcons were better on third down, converting a healthy 8-15 compared to Seattle's 4-11. They outgained Seattle 369 to 339. They had more first downs, rushing yards and time of possession.the Falcons turned the ball over and committed more penalties; they made them count. One fumble was returned for a touchdown, and every penalty seemed to either kill a Falcons' drive or prolong a Seahawks' drive including a pair of roughing the passer calls.
The Falcons are 4-3 headed to Tampa Bay this week. Their three losses have come against, by ESPN's own power rankings, No. 1 Kansas City, No. 8 Pittsburgh, and No. 12 Seattle.
