Analysis and Takeaways

Seattle’s 28–24 win came down to efficiency and ball security. The Seahawks protected the football all night, finishing with zero turnovers while capitalizing on three Atlanta mistakes. Geno Smith was sharp, spreading the ball to eight different receivers and hitting key throws on third down. Kenneth Walker III gave the offense balance with tough inside runs and a red-zone score.

Defensively, Seattle bent but rarely broke. The Falcons moved the chains 22 times and ran 71 plays, but two interceptions—one each by Julian Love and Coby Bryant—halted promising drives. The Seahawks’ front generated steady pressure, registering three sacks and limiting Kirk Cousins’ deep attempts.

Atlanta showed plenty of firepower. Bijan Robinson looked every bit the featured back with 103 rushing yards and a touchdown, and Drake London’s route running created constant problems. But turnovers and nine penalties for 72 yards erased much of that production. The Falcons also struggled to finish drives, going 2-for-2 in the red zone but missing a key field goal and failing to sustain momentum after turnovers.

What’s Next for Both Teams

Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks return home to face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. With the NFC West still tightly packed, maintaining this turnover-free play and a balanced attack will be key. Watch for continued development of the young secondary after a two-interception performance.Atlanta Falcons: Atlanta heads on the road to meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a critical NFC South matchup. Cleaning up ball security and reducing penalties will be the primary focus. Expect the Falcons to keep leaning on Bijan Robinson while working to get Kirk Cousins back in rhythm after a two-interception night.
