The Atlanta Falcons took a tumble on Sunday during the 20-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints, one of the lowliest teams in the NFL.
The Falcons had some of the same type of issues they have had in previous games with slow starts and missed opportunities, in addition to an uncharacteristic three missed field goals by Younghoe Koo.
Atlanta now holds a 0.8 FPI rating, good for 14th in the NFL. The Falcons will hit the road to take on the Denver Broncos with a -2.8 FPI rating at No. 25.
FPI is described as “a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team’s performance going forward for the rest of the season,” according to ESPN.com.
“FPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Projected results are based on 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule.”
So without any further delay, here’s a look at how the league’s 32 teams stack up based on FPI heading into Week 11 of the 2024 season:
- Detroit Lions (8-1): 7.5
- Baltimore Ravens (7-3): 7.0
