The Atlanta Falcons Fly Over the Patriots to Reach #1 in the Latest Ultimate Sports Network’s NFL Rankings

Mansfield, OH, November 10, 2016 --(PR.com)-- #1/Atlanta Falcons (Last Week #4)
#2/New England Patriots (Last Week #2)
#3/Denver Broncos (Last Week #3)
#4/Dallas Cowboys (Last Week #1)
#5/Oakland Raiders (Last Week #13)
#6/San Diego Chargers (Last Week #9)
#7/New York Giants (Last Week #12)
#8/Kansas City Chiefs (Last Week #8)
#9/Philadelphia Eagles (Last Week #5)
#10/Pittsburgh Steelers (Last Week #7)

The Atlanta Falcons have jumped from #4 last week to #1 this week in the latest USN/NFL Rankings. The Patriots and Broncos remain at number two and three respectively, while the Dallas Cowboys drop to #4. The Cowboys drop was precipitated by playing the winless Cleveland Browns.

Breaking down the rankings by conference finds the AFC West placing all four teams in the top ten, and the NFC East places three teams in the top ten. The Washington Redskins, the remaining NFC East team, is parked outside of the top ten at #15.

The Ultimate Sports Network attempts to answer the question, “Who is Number One?” by multiplying a team’s winning percentage by their "control points" then by their schedule strength.
