Showdown game with the Giants in the dome.

Very impressive road victory by Matt Ryan and the young Falcons.

Took care of business against the hapless Bucs.

Beating up on the cupcakes.

Back in action this week against Atlanta in the dome.

Showdown this week with first place Denver.

Different team with Hasselbeck under center.
19. Miami Dolphins- Previous ranking: (23)
Wildcat was operating at perfection. Henne is going to make ‘Fin fans happy.
20. Houston Texans- Previous ranking: (22)

Does Tom Cable get fired first or arrested first?

No defense, not much of an offense.
32. St. Louis Rams- Previous ranking: (32)
At least they scored in double figures.
