The Seattle Seahawks gave up a 14-point lead to the Atlanta Falcons, but they were able to hang on to win 26-24 at CenturyLink Stadium Sunday. The Seattle Seahawks cornerback is one of the best in the National Football League at what he does.

Wilson then turned in a bit of magic, evading Atlanta’s rush on third-and-two at the 42 to float a pass to Alex Collins for nine yards and a first down with just over three minutes remaining. Ryan’s third touchdown pass of the game, a 46-yarder to tight end Levine Toilolo, gave Atlanta its first lead at 24-17 with 17 seconds left in the third.
The Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks, two of the best teams in the NFC so far this season, have played an exciting one today. That will make Mike Morgan being out at strongside linebacker after his sports-hernia surgery and Kevin Pierre-Louis’ first game at that position a lesser issue, as Lane will replace that outside linebacker in nickel sets. He has directed 20 fourth-quarter, game-winning drives in his career. At this point of the season, the Falcons and Seahawks are clearly among the handful of contenders in the NFC.
It seemed like everything was going the Falcons’ way.

In the first two quarters, the Seahawks sacked Ryan three times and hit him 11 times. It started with a Julio Jones touchdown.
The Falcons will travel to Seattle for a Week 6 matchup with the 3-1 Seattle Seahawks, who, like the Falcons, lead their division. Sherman, shadowing Jones most of the day, tipped the ball back to teammate Earl Thomas for the most well-timed turnover of the Seahawks’ young season. WR Doug Baldwin had four receptions for 31 yards, WR Jermaine Kearse three for 35 and Michael three for 19.
Not exactly sure what was being said, but it’s clear that Sherman was very unhappy with giving up the touchdown to Jones.
Ryan’s quarter was stunning.
Sherman lost his cool on the Seattle sideline following Jones’ TD catch early in the third quarter.
Michael Bennett did not return to the game in Seattle after suffering a knee injury. Then Bennett hyperextended his right knee on the play when Sanu caught his touchdown pass to tie the game at 17.
“There are certainly a lot of areas where we have to get better”, coach Jason Garrett says, “but we’re doing a good job coming off the ball, getting into blocks and finding places for runners to run”.
Strong offensive line play has been a feature of his positive start but changes are afoot with right tackle Lane Johnson now having to serve a 10-game suspension and as Wentz’s body of work increases, teams become more and more familiar with his approach and how to take advantage of any obvious weak spots.

“I thought we responded really well in the second half and continued to battle”. We just didn’t (finish) the way we needed to.
