NFL Power Rankings: Falcons drop in SB Nation power rankings after week 12 loss to Browns

It's Tuesday, and you know what that means? It's SB Nation's power rankings day!

As for the Falcons, they rank 24th in the NFL, falling 3 spots after a disappointing, Mike Smith-fueled loss to the Browns. They're like a Big Loser contestant who mistakingly meanders into the snack aisle; the best of intentions but just destined to fail.

This week's rankings have the Patriots on top and the lowly Jaguars at the bottom. The Falcons are the lowest ranked 4-7 team and there are no 3-7 teams ranked above them. And for what it's worth, the highest ranked team below .500 are the 19th ranked St. Louis Rams.

Check out the teams around the Falcons - it's a sea of mediocrity. To be frank, their ranking is deserved. The Falcons lost to the 21st (Bears) and 22nd (Vikings) ranked teams. With a few wins, the Falcons could rocket up these rankings. A 9-7 record, for example, would arguably make them a top 15 team.
