NFL Power Rankings Week 2: Atlanta Falcons and 3 Week 1 Losers That Will Tumble

So you suffered a disappointing Week 1 defeat to start out the 2011 NFL season, and you're looking for an easy game to get back on track? Fat chance!

Well, for these three teams at least.

Atlanta Falcons

Those poor Falcons. They got whooped in Week 1, 30-12, by a Chicago Bears team that wasn't expected to be any good this year, failing to score a single offensive touchdown despite putting up 386 yards of offense.

Their "bounce-back" opponent? Why, the Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Good luck to Atlanta's defense in shutting down Michael Vick in his first game back at the Georgia Dome, especially after getting touched up by Jay Cutler in the season opener.

Kansas City Chiefs

It's tough for things to get much worse in Kansas City after how horribly wrong things went in Week 1. The Chiefs were insulted at home by the Buffalo Bills, 41-7, in the most lopsided loss by KC at Arrowhead Stadium, with the injury coming by way of safety Eric Berry's bum knee.

But it just might happen for the hapless Chiefs. For its next act, Todd Haley's team will have the tough tasking of holding down Matthew Stafford and the resurgent Detroit Lions on the artificial turf at Ford Field. This could get ugly, folks, especially if Stafford plays as well as he did against Tampa Bay last Sunday.

Miami Dolphins

As bad as KC's secondary was last week, no defensive backfield got cut up quite as badly as Miami's.

Granted, it's tough not to expect greatness from Tom Brady these days, but 517 yards-worth? For a defense that was top 10 against the pass last season?

The Dolphins won't have any time to catch their collective breath with the Houston Texans and their explosive offense coming to town. Think Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson are excited to crank it up against the Fins' flimsy secondary?

Survey says...oooooh yeah!
