Seahawks Player to Watch

QB Geno Smith. The Seahawks signal-caller will be looking to bounce back after throwing a pair of interceptions and missing some big throws in the loss to the 49ers. While Smith did pass for 312 yards — his third game this season with at least 300 yards through the air — the completion rate (30 of 52) was his lowest of the season.

His passing yards total for this game was coming in at 264.5.

“We're just not doing the things that good football teams do to win football games, and so we're going to attack it. We're going to take a breather here and really go back and dissect the heck out of this thing,” Seahawks first year head coach Mike Macdonald said.

Falcons Player to Watch

TE Kyle Pitts. He had three catches for 70 yards against the Panthers, including a 52-yarder, and shows signs of becoming the sort of playmaker he was coming out of college. It marked the first time since Pitts' rookie season in 2021 that he has put together back-to-back games with more that 55 yards receiving.

Key Matchup

The Falcons running game vs. the Seahawks defensive front. The Falcons have an impressive 1-2 punch in the backfield with Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. Robinson ran for 95 yards and two touchdowns at Carolina, averaging 6.3 yards per carry. Allgeier tacked on 105 yards and a score, averaging 5.8 yards each time he touched the ball. They'll be facing an injury-filled Seahawks defense that gave up 228 yards on 33 carries to the 49ers — the third straight week Seattle has allowed big yards on the ground. The Seahawks are allowing an average of 144.7 yards rushing per game.
