The Falcons are back in it.

They’ve scored the first 14 points of the third quarter and are now tied with the Seahawks, 17-17.

A Julio Jones touchdown catch capped an impressive drive to open the second half. Mohamed Sanu then caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Matt Ryan after the Seahawks punted.

The scoring drives have covered 75 and 79 yards, respectively. The Falcons didn’t convert a single third down in the first half but now are moving the ball, and mostly through the air. A little over midway through the third quarter, Jones has six catches for 115 yards.

Ryan is off to an 8-of-12 start in the third quarter and is at 200 yards passing for the game.

Falcons wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) and cornerback C.J. Goodwin (hamstring) are out for the game.
