Play of the Game

Atlanta TE Alge Crumpler's TD that tied the score at the start of the fourth quarter will be recorded as a 55-yard catch. Truth is, he covered more than half that running the ball, catching a pass and then remaining upright despite a big hit from Seattle's Lofa Tatupu.

Turning Point

Seattle ran two plays in the first 1:30 of the fourth quarter, both turnovers by Seneca Wallace and Atlanta turned them into touchdowns to take a 14-point lead.
