[Best Moment] Seahawks 26 final score: A loss, though an impressive one | Falcons 24-26 Seahawks

It looked a little unlikely in the first half, but a phenomenal second half performance brought the Falcons to the precipice of a 5th win. Unfortunately, they dropped the game late, but it was an impressive effort against a genuine contender.

Atlanta decided to make it interesting in the fourth quarter, allowing the Seahawks to march down the field and get into scoring range in relatively short order. Then they forced the three and out and Seattle missed the short field goal, and the Falcons’ lead stood at 24-17. Still.

The Falcons got the ball back and got to driving, make it nearly to midfield before a huge third down sack doomed the effort.

The Seahawks then drove, drove, drove and wound up inside the red zone, where they wound up scoring the game-tying touchdown. Or they would have, if Ra’Shede Hageman didn’t BLOCK THE EXTRA POINT, preserving a one point Atlanta lead. What an incredible play.

The Falcons then began driving before a pass bounced off Julio’s hands and wound up as an interception. The Seahawks weren’t able to get more than a field goal, thankfully, thanks to a very game Atlanta defense. That still left the Seahawks up 26-24 with little time to go.

Unfortunately, on Atlanta’s last drive, they missed on four straight passes, three to Sanu and one to Julio Jones. It felt like a wasted opportunity to make something happen, but that doomed the effort, and Atlanta ultimately lost. Still, this was the kind of effort that convinces you a team is for real, even if they can’t quite make it happen.
