The situation: Trailing Atlanta 12-10 with 3:41 remaining in the first half, the Seahawks pin the Falcons at their own 1-yard line on a 60-yard punt by Jon Ryan.

The Falcons have the momentum after benefiting from a Seattle holding penalty that negates a 79-yard punt return by Devin Hester and leads to a safety and a field goal to give Atlanta the lead.

“Get you some breathing room, that's your first job as an offense in a backed-up situation.” -- Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan

Matt Ryan and Co. take over at their own 1-yard line looking to do what no team has done against the Seahawks since 2009: execute a 99-yard touchdown drive. Ryan completes two of his first three passes before connecting with Mohamed Sanu for 22 yards to get the Falcons to their own 36-yard line.

“Oh, we were ahead when we got the first, first down ...”
-- Falcons receiver Mohamed Sanu

The Falcons break into Seahawks territory when Ryan finds Taylor Gabriel for 18 yards.

“Kind of put a lot of pressure on the other team and killed a lot of the clock ...” -- Falcons receiver Taylor Gabriel

Two plays later, Ryan hits Julio Jones just past the first-down marker. Jones falls down but quickly gets back to his feet untouched and races to the sideline for a 20-yard gain with 59 seconds remaining before halftime.

On the next play, Ryan finds Tevin Coleman for a 14-yard touchdown.

“It was a lot of catch-and-run stuff. Good design. ”
-- Seahawks coach Pete Carroll
