- Atlanta managed 274 total yards — 154 passing and 120 rushing (CBS Sports).
- The Seahawks converted 20 first downs to the Falcons’ 15 (CBS Sports).
The gap in yardage tells only part of the story. Seattle controlled the second half, outscoring Atlanta 31–3 after a 3–3 halftime tie (ESPN).
Passing stats comparison
- Sam Darnold completed 20 of 30 passes for 249 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception for Seattle (Seahawks official box score).
- Kirk Cousins completed 15 of 30 passes for 162 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions for Atlanta (Atlanta Falcons).
Two quarterbacks, two very different afternoons. Darnold’s efficiency — a 70% completion rate and a 119.3 passer rating — contrasted sharply with Cousins’ 56.5 rating.
Rushing stats comparison
- Zach Charbonnet led the Seahawks with 7 carries for 46 yards (Seahawks official box score).
- Kenneth Walker III added 10 carries for 29 yards (Seahawks official box score).
- Bijan Robinson led Atlanta with 20 carries for 86 yards (Atlanta Falcons).
- Tyler Allgeier contributed 11 carries for 34 yards (Atlanta Falcons).
The Falcons’ ground game averaged 4.6 yards per carry, yet they couldn’t sustain drives — partly because turnovers erased opportunities.
Receiving stats
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 7 passes for 92 yards and 2 touchdowns (Atlanta Falcons).
- Rashid Shaheed caught 4 passes for 67 yards (Atlanta Falcons).
- Cooper Kupp caught 2 passes for 35 yards and 1 touchdown (Seahawks official box score).
Smith-Njigba’s two touchdowns — both in the second half — turned a tight game into a blowout.
Who’s going to win between the Seahawks and the Falcons?
Final score and key plays
- Seahawks won 37–9 (ESPN).
- Rashid Shaheed returned the second-half kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, shifting momentum decisively (ESPN).
- Falcons committed three turnovers, including an interception on the opening drive of the second half.
The implication: Seattle’s special teams and defense turned a close halftime score into a rout in under fifteen minutes of game time.
Why Seahawks won
Seattle’s offense scored on four of five second-half possessions, while the defense forced punts and turnovers. The Seahawks ran 58 total plays to Atlanta’s 62 but gained more yardage per play (6.3 to 4.4) (CBS Sports).
Who is the main RB for the Seahawks?
Running back stats vs Falcons
- Zach Charbonnet was the lead back with 7 carries for 46 yards (Seahawks official box score).
- Kenneth Walker III had more carries (10) but fewer yards (29) (Seahawks official box score).
It’s a committee approach, but Charbonnet’s 6.6 yards per carry stood out.
Zach Charbonnet role
Charbonnet handled the majority of carries in key short-yardage situations and broke a 15-yard run that set up a touchdown. He also caught 2 passes for 18 yards.
Other RB contributions
Walker saw work on early downs but struggled to find gaps against a Falcons front that allowed 4.2 yards per carry as a team.
The implication: Seattle’s running game by committee remains effective, with Charbonnet providing the explosive plays.
Which team blew a 28-3 lead?
Super Bowl LI context
The Falcons’ 28–3 lead in Super Bowl LI — which they lost 34–28 in overtime to the New England Patriots — remains one of the most infamous collapses in sports history. That was February 5, 2017.
Comparison to Falcons’ recent performance
This 2025 Falcons team doesn’t carry the same roster, but the organizational memory lingers. Current struggles with turnovers and second-half execution echo that pattern, though the coaching staff insists the past is irrelevant.

“We came out flat in the first half, but the message at halftime was simple: keep playing our game. The guys responded.”
— Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald, as reported by Seahawks.com
“Turnovers killed us. You can’t give a team like Seattle extra possessions and expect to win.”
— Falcons coach Raheem Morris, via Atlanta Falcons official site
Seattle’s ability to adjust at halftime turned a stalemate into a blowout. For Atlanta, the turnover problem is a season-long issue that coaching alone hasn’t fixed.
For Seahawks fans, this win solidifies playoff hopes. For Falcons decision-makers, it raises hard questions about quarterback performance and offensive consistency.
The takeaway for both organizations: Seattle has a formula that works — efficient passing, disruptive defense, and special-teams impact. Atlanta, meanwhile, must decide whether Kirk Cousins remains the answer or if a rebuild is needed. For the average NFL fan, this game was a reminder that stats don’t always tell the full story of a 28-point margin.
