![]() I thought I could get around the corner.” “Selfishly, I was trying to close it myself. “That's on me, in that situation being smarter with the football,” Mariota said. Seattle’s Uchenna Nwosu jumped on the loose ball and Seattle had a chance at driving for a winning touchdown. Mariota and Tyson Allegier mishandled the handoff and fumbled with 5:12 remaining. Seattle called timeout before deciding to kick, rather than go for it.Ītlanta seemed poised for a clinching score midway through the fourth quarter when a mistake by Mariota gave Seattle a chance. The Seahawks will also question the decision to kick a 25-yard field goal from Jason Myers late in the third quarter when Seattle faced fourth-and-2 at the Atlanta 7. Unfortunately, we didn’t finish our last drive,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. Was a terrific football game that went back and forth, and there’s a lot of good things that happened in this game. “Really disappointed that we weren’t able to finish that game. Smith threw touchdowns to DK Metcalf, his first of the season, and Will Dissly, both in the first half. It was the fourth time in Smith’s career topping 300 yards passing and the first since the 2014 season. Seattle quarterback Geno Smith threw for 325 yards and two touchdowns, but was intercepted by Richie Grant on a desperation fourth-and-18 from the Atlanta 38 with 1:30 remaining.

London had just three catches for 54 yards, while Kyle Pits had five receptions for 87 yards. Mariota was 13 of 20 passing for 223 yards and his touchdown throw to London. His 17-yard touchdown run in the second quarter gave Atlanta a 17-10 lead. Patterson had a career-best 120 yards in the season opener against New Orleans and topped it just two weeks later. “You know it's good when the offensive line says, ‘Let’s run this play let's run this play,'" Patterson said. Patterson had a key play sequence running for 40 and 18 yards that led to Drake London's 14-yard touchdown from Marcus Mariota that gave Atlanta the lead for good. But when those plays started to hit, there were big gains to be made. Patterson said it took time to find run plays that worked. Mariota used the pass game to pick up chunks of yards in the first half, then it was Patterson churning big plays in the run game. ![]() Patterson rumbled for 107 yards in the second half and the Falcons were able to avoid starting 0-3 for the second time in three seasons. They’ll head back home after managing to avoid joining Las Vegas as the only 0-3 teams in the league.
