Last week, I posited that the Falcons would probably have plenty of success through the air, but that Russell Wilson could destroy them more or less by himself. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out—it probably didn’t even take a drunk model rocket assembler—but the Falcons did in fact pass for plenty of yards and Wilson did in fact destroy Atlanta.
The dispiriting thing was that the passing yards on Atlanta’s side were a bit empty, given that the bulk of the production came when Seattle was too far ahead for the Falcons do really do anything about it.
