Week 7: Falcons Seek Momentum Against Reeling Seahawks

After their 38-20 victory over the Carolina Panthers, the Atlanta Falcons are indeed preparing to face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Oct 20.

Here’s what you might want to know about their upcoming game:

This matchup between the Falcons and Seahawks is indeed shaping up to be a fascinating contest. The Falcons’ 4-2 start and home advantage at Mercedes-Benz Stadium certainly give them a slight edge, but Seattle’s need to regain momentum at 3-3 makes this a pivotal game for both teams.

Key players like Kirk Cousins for the Falcons and Geno Smith for the Seahawks will be under the spotlight. While Cousins’ performance has been consistent, the Falcons will need their run defense to step up against Kenneth Walker III, who can be a game-changer for Seattle. Similarly, the Seahawks will rely on Geno Smith to maintain efficiency and control the game flow, especially if Walker is effectively contained.

The injury report, particularly for the Seahawks’ secondary with Riq Woolen and Byron Murphy II possibly missing, could expose vulnerabilities in their defense. This will be a storyline to watch, as Atlanta might look to exploit that through the air.

Both teams have much to gain, with the Falcons eyeing a stronger NFC position and the Seahawks fighting to stay competitive in the conference.

Expect a game full of adjustments, as both teams look to leverage their strengths and mitigate their weaknesses.

Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. ET.
