前半はFGの応酬。FalconsがZane Gonzalezの35ヤードFGで先制し、SeahawksはJason Myersの22ヤードFGで同点。第2Q終盤にもAtlantaがGonzalezの43ヤードFGで勝ち越したが、Seattleは前半残り4秒にMyersが48ヤードFGを決め、6-6で折り返した。
接戦の前半から一転して、後半開始のキックオフで試合が一気に傾く。Rashid Shaheedが100ヤードのキックオフリターンTDを決め、Seahawksがこの試合初めてリードを奪うと、Sam DarnoldがJaxon Smith-Njigbaへ28ヤードTDを通し、MyersのFGで23-6。第4QにもDarnoldがCooper Kupp、Smith-NjigbaへTDを重ねて大きく突き放し、終わってみれば37-9とSeattleが完勝。Seattleは後半だけで31得点、Atlantaは3ターンオーバーと3rd down 1/13が響き、攻撃を継続できなかった。
7捕球92ヤード2TDで、後半にSeattleが畳みかける流れの中心になった。第3Qの28ヤードTD、第4Qの4ヤードTDはいずれも点差を広げる重要な得点だった。
