Lynch lead Seahawks past Falcons 33,custom nhl jerseys
(AP) Now that’s more like it for the Seattle Seahawks.
Shaking off some sluggish performances, the Seahawks put it all together against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Russell Wilson threw a pair of touchdowns passes, Marshawn Lynch ran for 145 yards and Seattle romped to a 33 10 victory in a one sided rematch of last season’s playoffs.
“It’s the best game we’ve played,custom nhl jerseys,” coach Pete Carroll said.
The first place Seahawks (9 wholesale nfl jerseys 1 for the first time in franchise history), who lead the NFC race for home field, had looked especially vulnerable the past two weeks while struggling to beat lowly St. Louis and winless Tampa Bay.
No worries this time. It was over by halftime.
With a lightning quick spurt at the nfl jerseys end of the second quarter,lebron james jersey 279, custom mlb jerseys paul pierce jersey capped by Wilson’s touchdown pass to Golden Tate with 1 second remaining, Seattle went to the break with a 23 3 lead.
“We’re excited for the future. We have something special,” Tate said. “Now we’ve set the standard and we want to consistently play this sort of ballgame.”
The Falcons trailed 6 3 after Matt Bryant’s 53 yard field goal with 6 minutes left in the half, but Seattle seized control with three big plays in a row, including a bit of trickery that caught Atlanta off guard.
With the Seahawks starting at their 20 after a touchback, Lynch immediately broke off a 37 yard run into Falcons territory. On the next play, Wilson handed off to Lynch, who passed the ball back to the quarterback.
Wilson threw it deep to Jermaine Kearse, who hauled in the 43 yard touchdown pass over Thomas DeCoud to stretch the Seahawks’ advantage to 13 3.
After the Falcons went three and out, Wilson hooked up with Tate on a short pass that turned into a 46 yard gain. So, on three consecutive snaps, Seattle ripped off 126 yards.
Tate’s reception led to the third of Steven Hauschka’s four field goals. Atlanta went three and out again, and Tate set up another scoring chance with a 32 yard kobe bryant jersey punt return in front of the Seahawks bench.
In the final minute of the half, Wilson drove Seattle down the field for the decisive score. It took a gutsy call by Carroll, who decided to take a shot at the end zone on third and 5 from the Atlanta 6 tim duncan jersey with 8 seconds remaining and no timeouts.
Wilson lofted the pass into the left corner, and Tate made a brilliant one handed catch while managing to drag brandon knight jersey both feet inside the line, just in the nick of time.
The Falcons (2 7) lost for the sixth time in seven games, a team that once had Super Bowl aspirations now just two defeats away from its first losing season since 2007.
Matt Ryan was held to 172 yards passing, while Steven Jackson managed just 11 yards rushing on nine carries. Roddy White returned to the Falcons’ lineup after missing the past month with ankle and hamstring injuries, but one catch for 20 yards hardly sparked the offense. Seattle finished with a dominating 490 226 lead in total yards.
“It was tough sledding out there,” White said. “Not demarcus cousins jersey how we wanted it to go.”
This was a complete reversal of the playoff game last January,custom nhl jerseys, in which Atlanta led 20 0 at the half and was still up by 20 early in the fourth before Wilson led what appeared to be a historic comeback, putting the Seahawks ahead 28 27 with less than a minute remaining.

These Falcons finally scored a touchdown just their third in the past three games late in the john wall jersey third quarter on Ryan’s 12 yard pass to rookie Darius Johnson on fourth down. The Seahawks wrapped it up with a 12 play, 80 yard drive that took more than 7 minutes off the clock.
