Falcons Stall As Power Rankings Drop After Shutout

Atlanta Falcons fall to No. 23 in The Athletic rankings after a 16-0 loss to Tampa Bay, while Denver and Chicago surge in Week 9.

San Siro will host one of the most fascinating second-leg scenarios of the knockout round. Inter Milan are the bigger club, the deeper squad, and the expected favorite — yet they trail 3–1. That reality forces Inter into an unfamiliar role. They can’t wait. They must attack. Bodo/Glimt, meanwhile, arrive with freedom. They’ve already exceeded expectations. Now they can play without fear.

That’s what makes this dangerous. When a favorite is forced to chase, structure can collapse. Emotion can override discipline. Bodo/Glimt have already proven they can punish those moments.

Inter must balance urgency with control. Too slow, and time disappears. Too aggressive, and the tie disappears.

Resume Check

Inter Milan
• First Leg Result: L vs Bodo/Glimt (1–3)

• W vs Lecce (2–0)
• L vs Bodo/Glimt (1–3)
• W vs Juventus (3–2)
• W vs Sassuolo (5–0)
• W vs Torino (2–1)

Inter’s form is strong, but the first-leg result exposed defensive vulnerabilities.

Bodo/Glimt

• Recent Form:
• W vs Inter (3–1)
• W vs Atletico Madrid (2–1)
• W vs Manchester City (3–1)

• W vs Fredrikstad (5–0)

Bodo/Glimt’s form is extraordinary. They haven’t been intimidated by anyone.

Inter Milan 2, Bodo/Glimt 1
