Seattle Seahawks. 26. team. 36. . . Previous: 28th

Russell Wilson finally got the Seattle Seahawks back in the win column. Wilson was 0-3 since returning from surgery on his finger as they lost to the Packers, Cardinals, and the Washington Football Team. Then this weekend, they were able to knock off the San Francisco 49ers in a game that came down to the final seconds.

Seattle trailed 23-14 at one point and ended up shutting down the Niners in the second half. They took the lead with 2:28 left in the third quarter and then no one else scored after that. They fumbled it away on their own goal-line and then had a goal-line stand on the other side of the field, which ended a rather uneventful second half in Seattle.

At 4-8, this season seems to be a wash and the real discussion is now going to be whether or not this is the last year we see Wilson in Seattle.

Atlanta Falcons. 25. team. 44. . . Previous: 25th

Once again, the Atlanta Falcons fell short on Sunday as they were defeated 30-17 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Every loss stings in the NFL, but this one was especially hard for the home team.

Atlanta had a shot to get back to 500 and a Marlon Davidson pick-six just before the half made it 20-17. All they needed to do was find a way to outscore their divisional rivals by three in the second half. However, they didn’t even score a single point.

Not just that, but they really struggled to even gain first downs in the second half. They fought hard and Cordarrelle Patterson again put up some great numbers but the Falcons continue to head in the wrong direction.
