In the second quarter, Julio Jones would score his only touchdown of the game, scoring on a 7-yard touchdown of his own, tying the game at 7-7. Seattle would score a field goal, and Atlanta’s defense would follow-up with a safety, making the score 10-9. Before the half was over, the Falcons would score a field goal of their own, and Tevin Coleman would score his only touchdown of the game off a pass from Matt Ryan. Atlanta would close out the half with a 19-10 lead.
While the scoring would settle down a little in the third quarter, the Falcons still outscored the Seahawks 7-3, taking a 13-point lead into the final quarter. Devonta Freeman would score his only touchdown of the game off a 1-yard touchdown run, while Steven Hauschka would kick his second and final field goal of the game for the Seahawks.
In the final quarter of the game, Atlanta put the nail in the coffin of Seattle’s post-season. With another field goal for the Falcons and a 3-yard touchdown pass from Ryan to Mohamed Sanu, Russell Wilson’s 31-yard touchdown pass to Doug Baldwin was too little, too late.
