The Falcons beat the Seahawks 36-20. The Falcons are now Super Bowl-bound.
The Seahawks flag won’t be seen flying in downtown Atlanta, but it’s a different story in Seattle.
This week, Seattle’s mayor, Ed Murray, announced via Twitter that they had completed their end of the deal by raising the Falcons’ flag over Seattle’s City Hall.
Murray posted a video on Sunday saying, “Congratulations Atlanta. Your Falcons beat our Seahawks. A bet’s a bet.”
The video shows an officer removing the Seahawks flag from the pole and replacing it with the Falcons flag. They also lit up their City Hall in red and closed the video by wishing the Falcons good luck.
