"If the Seahawks hadn’t scrubbed the rug of the Georgia Dome with the Falcons two weeks earlier, perhaps the Saints’ 17-13 win over Atlanta would have been a tad more impressive.

But the next opponent of the Seahawks did not instill shock and awe Thursday night, allowing the Falcons to create actual suspense, until their last possession inside three minutes sputtered, then died, on a 52-yard field goal attempt that missed.

The Falcons trailed only 14-13 at the half and held quarterback Drew Brees to 278 passing yards, his second-lowest total of the season. The Seahawks were up 23-3 at halftime of a 33-10 win over the Falcons that coach Pete Carroll described as Seattle’s most complete triumph of the year."
