The Atlanta Falcons advanced to the NFC title game with a 30-28 win over the Seattle Seahawks Sunday as Matt Bryant kicked the game winning 49-yard field goal with eight seconds left in regulation. The Seahawks made a game of it by completing a fourth-quarter comeback from a 20-point deficit. The Seahawks took a 28-27 lead with 31 seconds left on a 2-yard scoring run by Marshawn Lynch.
Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan then took over, completing two long passes after the kickoff, setting up Bryant's winning kick. Ryan finished 24 of 35 for 250 yards. He tossed three TD passes and two interceptions.
Rookie Russell Wilson passed for two touchdowns and ran for another, but it wasn't enough for the Seahawks.
In the AFC, the New England Patriots will host the Baltimore Ravens next Sunday.
The winners of next Sunday's conference title games will meet in Super Bowl 47 come Feb. 3rd in New Orleans.
