The Seattle Seahawks dropped their first home game of the season Sunday, falling 27-23 to the visiting Atlanta Falcons as the defense was largely unable to slow the offensive attack of Atlanta.
The Falcons ran just 57 offensive plays in amassing 386 yards of offense, including 179 rushing yards on the back of a career high of 141 yards on the ground for Cordarrelle Patterson. The Seattle defense did force a three and out for the first time in 2022, the last team in the league to do so, but it was not enough to allow the Hawks to escape victorious.
