#2 – vs. Seahawks, NFC Divisional

After enjoying a first round bye, the Falcons welcomed the Seattle Seahawks to the Georgia Dome for the NFC Divisional Playoffs. Many cited the Seahawks’ postseason experience as evidence for them to beat Atlanta, but the Falcons proved them wrong. Matt Ryan played like an MVP, putting up over 300 yards of offense and three touchdowns against an elite defense.

This win gave the Falcons momentum in the postseason and a trip to the NFC Championship.
