Safety Richie Grant‘s late interception of quarterback Geno Smith dashed the Seattle Seahawks‘ comeback hopes and ensured the Atlanta Falcons came out victorious in Week 3, 27-23.
Offensive spotlight: Although it was in another losing effort, quarterback Geno Smith continues to play far better than many expected entering the season. He was volatile on Sunday, making five big-time throws and four big-time throws, but the overall performance should earn the 10th-year veteran another strong game grade.
Defensive spotlight: Richie Grant capped off his solid day in coverage with a game-sealing interception. And that was after he had already forced an incompletion and allowed only four yards on two catches and three targets.
Rookie spotlight: While wide receiver Drake London caught only three of his six targets for 54 yards, he scored on one of them with a nifty spin move that earned him two forced missed tackles.
Offensive line spotlight: Seattle's offensive line surrendered 12 pressures across 46 team pass-blocking snaps, with rookie Charles Cross giving up the most (5). Fellow rookie Abraham Lucas fared better and gave up only two pressures.
