For the first time since 2013, the Seattle Seahawks have claimed a 1-0 start to the season with a road opener to kick off the year. Seattle traveled south to Atlanta and torched the Dirty Birds to the tune of 38-25 in front of a raucous crowd of artificially generated fan noise.
The game was never really as close as the final score might have indicated, as the Falcons earned a few garbage scores late with the Seahawks shifting into cruise control. Quarterback Matt Ryan had over 400 yards passing, but it was not enough to overcome a Seahawks team firing on all cylinders.
Seattle improves to a 3-2 record when playing in Atlanta in the Pete Carroll/Russell Wilson era, and as such, here are 4 Studs and only 1 Dud from the Seahawks’ hot start.
