The Seahawks came back to pull within 24-23 on a Christine Michael 1-yard run with 4:43 remaining, but Hauschka, who missed a field goal earlier in the half, had his extra point try blocked by Atlanta lineman Ra'Shede Hageman to keep the Falcons in front. Seattle (4-1) gave up 276 yards of offense in the second half, losing star defensive end Michael Bennett to a knee injury in the process. The Falcons (4-2) had one more chance, but Ryan threw four incompletions on the final drive - including a last-gasp throw toward go-to receiver Julio Jones that saw Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman grab his arm but not get flagged for pass interference on what would result in the Falcons' final offensive play with 1:30 remaining. Hauschka, who missed a field-goal attempt and had the potential score-tying extra-point blocked in the fourth quarter, capped off the winning drive after teammate Earl Thomas intercepted a Matt Ryan pass with 3:48 remaining. SEATTLE - Kicker Steven Hauschka finished off a frustrating day with a 44-yard field goal with 1:57 remaining as the Seattle Seahawks survived a furious second half from the Atlanta offense to beat the Falcons 26-24 on Sunday afternoon.
