Led by running back Cordarelle Patterson’s career-high 141 yards, the Falcons ran for a season-high 179 yards and averaged 5.8 yards a carry during their 27-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. The win over the Seahawks was the Falcons’ first of the season after they suffered losses by a total of five points in their first two games.
