‘Lousy’ second half nearly derails Seahawks’ bid for win vs. Falcons, but in the end, Seattle is 6-2

ATLANTA — The question has to be asked at the midway point of the Seattle Seahawks’ 2019 season: Just how good are these guys, really?

Are they a legitimate Super Bowl contender, which is what they looked like in the first half of Sunday’s 27-20 victory over the Atlanta Falcons?

Or are they fool’s gold, capable of losing to a gutted 1-7 team, which is what almost happened when the Seahawks nearly blew a 24-0 lead in the second half Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium?
