ATLANTA - Chris Redman gave the Atlanta Falcons a feel-good finish to an otherwise ugly season.

Redman set a career high with four TD passes, including two to Alge Crumpler, and the Falcons rode three fourth-quarter TDs to a 44-41 victory against Seattle on Sunday.

Seattle, the NFC West champion, allowed the woeful Falcons to best their previous scoring high by 17 points. The Seahawks host Washington on Saturday in the wildcard playoff round.

The Falcons ended a six-game losing streak, giving interim coach Emmitt Thomas his first win in three tries.

Redman, the third starting quarterback for Atlanta in the post-Michael Vick era, also threw touchdown passes to Joe Horn and Roddy White. He was 17-of-27 for 251 yards with no interceptions.
