Seahawks Face Falcons Amid Injury Concerns

The Seattle Seahawks, after a promising 3-0 start, now face a critical moment with a three-game losing streak heading into their matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, who have surged to a 4-2 record. Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is looking to recover from a recent performance marked by two interceptions, while the team's defense has struggled, allowing nearly 36 points per game during this skid. The Falcons, led by quarterback Kirk Cousins, are benefiting from a strong running game featuring Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier, both of whom had impressive performances last week. The Seahawks' injury woes are compounded by the absence of key defensive players, including cornerbacks Tre Brown and Riq Woolen. As the Falcons aim for their first four-game winning streak since 2019, the Seahawks must win to keep their playoff hopes alive. This matchup presents a pivotal opportunity for both teams, with Seattle seeking to regain its earlier form under first-year coach Mike Macdonald.
