The Atlanta Falcons were 0-2 and trailing at halftime of their Week 3 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks before Cordarrelle Patterson took his game to another level in the second half. Patterson racked up 107 of his career-high 141 rushing yards after halftime, leading the Falcons to a 27-23 victory.

On Wednesday, Patterson was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his dominant performance against Seattle.

After the first three games, Patterson has 302 rushing yards and is on pace for 1,700 yards this season. In 2021, he rushed for 618 yards, which was a career high for Patterson at the time.

The Falcons will need their 31-year-old kick returner-turned-running back to have another big day on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, who feature their own star running back, Nick Chubb.
