The Atlanta Falcons and the Seattle Seahawks will go head to head on Sunday as the two teams clash at CenturyLink Field in Seattle for a massive Week 6 game in the NFL today. The game has a scheduled start time of 4.25 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the Fox network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Falcons will be flying high on confidence this week after inflicting a first defeat of the season on the Denver Broncos last week.
That 23-16 win was more comprehensive than the scoreline suggests, as the Falcons almost entirely shutdown the Broncos offense until the final quarter. They entered the fourth 20-3 ahead, and even a late Denver rally was unable to steal the win away from the Falcons.
That moves Atlanta to 4-1, and they will now believe they can not only compete with, but can also defeat any team in this league this season.
However, they move from one huge team to another, as they travel to face the Seahawks today.
Seattle are coming off a bye week and will be looking forward to continuing where they left off after moving to 3-1 with a confident win over the New York Jets in a 27-17 road game.
With both teams in good form this promises to be an epic match up.
Earlier this week, Week 6 got started with a big game between the Denver Broncos and the San Diego Chargers on Thursday Night Football.
The Broncos came into the game as heavy favorites, with most expecting them to bounce back from their first defeat of the season a week before. However, it became apparent that Denver's first loss was not simply a minor blip, and they now appear to be heading into a slump in form as they were defeated 21-13 by the Chargers.
San Diego were in charge throughout, and heading into the final quarter, the Chargers were 19-3 ahead. The Broncos finally showed some life in offense in the fourth quarter, but 10 points was nowhere near enough to get them back into the game.
That result dropped the Broncos back to 4-2, and simultaneously lifted the Chargers up to 2-4 and gives them a tiny glimmer of hope that this season still holds something for them.
The victory will be sweet relief for San Diego fans, who have witnessed their team constantly choke to give away fourth quarter leads again and again this season to drop to 1-4.
Although there were signs of what had gone on in previous games here, the result was never seriously in doubt. Chargers' fans will still have been holding their breath though when the Broncos shortened the lead to 8 points with 32 seconds left, but a last gasp drive from the Broncos ended with a failed Hail Mary and finally the San Diego faithful were able to breathe again.
The Broncos now have time to rest with an extra long week before returning in Week 7 on Monday Night Football to face the Houston Texans. Meanwhile, the Chargers won't play again until two Sundays from now when they will take on the Atlanta Falcons.
