1st Quarter
The Seahawks as soon as once more began with the ball first. Coin tosses have been a problem for them this season! DK Metcalf obtained concerned early by drawing a cross interference on A.J. Terrell, adopted by a 22-yard achieve off play-action deep into Atlanta territory. Geno Smith transformed a 3rd all the way down to Tyler Lockett. A Kenneth Walker III landing was worn out by an AJ Barner maintain, and the drive stalled out from there. Jason Myers put up the primary factors of the afternoon from 38 yards out.
Atlanta’s opening drive yielded a primary down and three false begin penalties. The repeated penalties derailed their drive and resulted in a punt again to the Seahawks. Seattle was backed up deep in its personal territory, obtained out of it by way of a DK Metcalf catch and Kenneth Walker checkdown achieve. Geno Smith hit Noah Fant into Atlanta territory, however unhealthy blocking and a fumbled snap by Geno killed the drive.
2nd Quarter
Atlanta went on an 11-play, 52-yard drive, mixing within the cross and run successfully. Kirk Cousins let the Seahawks off the hook by overthrowing an open Ray-Ray McCloud for what would’ve been a minimum of first-and-goal, if not a doable landing. That was a miss on third down, and Younghoe Koo had a uncommon miss from 54 yards out.
The Seahawks had a brief subject due to the sector aim miss, and so they took full benefit. Geno Smith made a terrific improvised flip to Noah Fant for 28 yards to maintain the drive alive, and two performs later it was a home name for Kenneth Walker. Denied a landing within the first quarter, he ran between rookies Christian Haynes and Michael Jerrell for a 20-yard rating!
Properly it didn’t take lengthy for the Falcons to reply. Bijan Robinson had 7 carries for 55 yards and the payoff was Atlanta’s first landing. The Seahawks run protection was completely owned.
Trickeration! Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s first NFL cross was (considerably ill-advised) to DK Metcalf. Not a fantastic throw, but it surely was caught by Metcalf anyway for 35 yards! It put the Seahawks in subject aim vary, just for Michael Jerrell to permit a sack to James Smith-Williams, adopted by a Christian Haynes false begin. Punt time.
A sack by Leonard Williams gave the Seahawks an opportunity to get the ball again, and Seattle’s protection made the third and 10 cease to get a two-minute drill alternative. Geno Smith threw 4 straight completions to Tyler Lockett (2x) and Noah Fant (2x) earlier than committing intentional grounding. Will the Seahawks simply kick the sector aim or attempt to get a shorter play for a better subject aim? No and no. How about an finish zone shot to DK Metcalf for a landing!
