The Atlanta Falcons have seen a significant rise in national power rankings following their overtime victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. The team's performance on "Thursday Night Football" has garnered attention and shifted media perspectives, at least temporarily.
Kirk Cousins played a pivotal role in the game, achieving a career-high with 509 passing yards and four touchdowns. His efforts earned him NFC Player of the Week honors. Cousins was instrumental in leading the Falcons to a game-tying drive during regulation and securing a walk-off touchdown in overtime.
Following this win, the Falcons have climbed several spots in various national power rankings. In some instances, they advanced by as many as seven positions. The team is now considered more of a "contender" than a "pretender," with most outlets placing them within the top 15 teams nationally, and many ranking them among the top 10.
