Atlanta Falcons 36-20 win over Seattle Seahawks in Divisional Playoffs

Published on January 15, 2017

The Atlanta Falcons came into Saturday’s divisional game against the Seattle Seahawks with a lot of questions about how the young defense would fare. The Falcons’ defense pressured Russell Wilson and forced two fourth quarter interceptions, helping Atlanta secure a 36-20 victory.

Ryan spread the ball around, hitting eight different receivers for 338 yards and three touchdowns. And while the Falcons’ offense is always a story, the young defense stepped up to ensure the win for Atlanta.

The two things this defense has improved over the course of the season, though, are pressuring the quarterback and creating takeaways. The Falcons sacked Wilson three times, and the interceptions were catastrophic for Seattle.

The Falcons advance to the NFC Championship and will face either the Green Bay Packers or the Dallas Cowboys, depending on the outcome of Sunday’s divisional matchup.
