Seahawks-Falcons: Seattle ran a fake field goal for some reason, and it went horribly wrong

I don’t understand why they did this, I hate that it was run, and I hate that in a close game such as this one, the Seattle Seahawks willingly attempted a fake field goal to close out the first half of their Monday night matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. With the score 24-17 and with Seattle getting the ball to start the second half, you’d figured Seattle would kick the field goal and most likely go into the locker room down 24-20.

Instead, Jon Ryan took the snap and flipped it to Luke Willson, who was immediately destroyed by Grady Jarrett.
