The Atlanta Falcons travel west to face the Seattle Seahawks at Qwest Field. Kickoff is slated for 4:05 pm ET.

The Atlanta Falcons are coming off a huge victory against the Philadelphia Eagles last Monday Night. Michael Vick led the offense by completing 12 passes for 156 yards and rushing for 68 more. He's always a threat to run, so the Seahawks will have to find a way to contain him. Warrick Dunn added 117 yards on 21 carries. Tight end Alge Crumpler is Vick's favorite target, and should play a big role in this week's game. Wide receiver Michael Jenkins is another weapon for this potent offense.

The Seattle Seahawks turned the ball over 5 times in their loss to Jacksonville last week. Matt Hasselbeck had a game he'd like to forget. The veteran QB was picked off 3 times, was sacked twice, and fumbled the ball once. Shaun Alexander was held to 73 yards on 14 carries, and failed to find the end zone. That's going to have to change this week in order for the Seahawks to have a chance to win the game. Wide receivers Bobby Engram and Darrell Jackson will try to go deep and challenge the Atlanta secondary.
