Matt Bryant kicks a 49-yard field goal in the final seconds to help the Atlanta Falcons defeat the Seattle Seahawks 30-28.

The Atlanta Falcons have registered a thrilling 30-28 victory over the Seattle Seahawks to seal their place in the NFC Championship game.

Matt Bryant kicked a 49-yard field goal with just eight seconds left on the clock to help the Falcons avoid the worst fourth-quarter collapse in the NFL history.

The Falcons raced to a 20-0 lead at half time at the Georgia Dome, but their opponents bounced back to head into the final seconds of the clash with a 28-27 advantage, thanks to Marshawn Lynch scoring on a two-yard run.

However, Matt Ryan completed two long passes after the kickoff and set up Bryant's winning kick.

The Falcons will host San Francisco 49ers next Sunday.
