Seahawks, Falcons to meet again in playoffs after wild finish 4 years ago

ATLANTA — The Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons played a memorable fourth quarter the last time they met in the playoffs.

The rematch is set for next weekend at Atlanta.

In January of 2013, Atlanta beat Seattle 30-28 on Matt Bryant's 49-yard field goal with 8 seconds left. The Seahawks rallied from a 27-7 fourth-quarter deficit and took the lead on Marshawn Lynch's touchdown run with 31 seconds remaining, but there was enough time for Matt Ryan and the Falcons to salvage the win.

The Seahawks set up next weekend's matchup by beating the Detroit Lions 26-6 on Saturday night.

Seattle and Atlanta played earlier this season, with the Seahawks winning 26-24 on Oct. 16. In that game, Wilson led two drives in the final five minutes to give Seattle the win.
