I was wondering that too, maybe just a quick timeout to keep their options open in case of a bad snap or something.

Not certain who called TO there, IIRC ATL had already called their final TO and thus was out of TOs while SEA still had three.

Mike Smith called it ... after Gonzo caught the pass with 13 seconds left, Smith ran to call the TO .. didn't make sense to me ..

Atlanta used their last timeout after the Gonzalez catch:

Thus, according to the graphic, ATL took four TOs. Not certain why it shows two TOs for SEA as I seem to remember the TO getting charged to SEA and SEA still having two TOs afterwards

Huh?
The graphic shows one Timeout by Seattle (right before the Falcons Field Goal) and two by the Falcons.

Graphic shows 1 TO at each end for SEA and two at each end for ATL. Perhaps I am reading the graphic wrong or am similarly confused.

Maybe I'm confused too, lol.

The black and white line on the field denotes a Falcons timeout.
The blue and white line on the field denotes a Seattle Timeout.

What I am keying on is what you see in the two pictures I am attaching to his post in which you see two timeouts for ATL and one for SEA in each.

Reading the graphic from top to bottom:
•Atlanta time out.
•Atlanta 19 yard pass to Gonzalez
•Atlanta time out
•Seattle time out (the attempt to ice the kicker)
•Field goal
•Kick off
•Seattle 6 yard pass to Baldwin
•Seattle Hail Mary to endzone
•Atlanta Interception/Touchback

The side of the field is irrelevant in the original pic. It's just one timeout for Seattle, two for Atlanta.

I guess I am still confused here...why then does it show two at each end for ATL and one at each end for SEA?

At the risk of repeating myself - The graphic is a time-line, to be read from top to bottoml

It's just the way the lines are labeled, I guess.
Rockotman's reading is correct.
