Matt Ryan, Falcons Dominate Seahawks to Advance to NFC Championship game

If you had Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons' offense DFS this week, you were rewarded with a shocking display of domination against the Seattle Seahawks. 

En route to advancing to the NFC Championship game, Atlanta absolutely handed it to Seattle by the score of 36-20 on Saturday afternoon. 

Seattle opened up a 7-0 lead on a Russell Wilson touchdown pass to Jimmy Graham in the first quarter. Unfortunately for the Seahawks, Atlanta would go on to score 36 of the games final 49 points to win going away. 

Including touchdown passes to Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu and Tevin Coleman, Ryan ended the day completing 26-of-37 passes for 338 yards and those three scores. 

Meanwhile, Jones himself put up six catches for 67 yards and a score on eight targets. 

In the backfield, Coleman and fellow running back Devonta Freeman combined for nearly 200 total yards and two scores. 

For Seattle, it was all about an inability to project Wilson. He was hurried a total of 20 times and sacked three times in the embarrassing loss. Wilson Also led the Seahawks in rushing with 49 yards while completing 17-of-30 passes for 225 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. 

Atlanta will play the winner of the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys game in the NFC Championship game next Sunday.
