With 6:42 left in Sunday’s game between the Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons at Lumen Field, play was stopped due to the reported presence of ... an unlicensed drone flying around the field.

Head official Tra Blake stopped play and told both teams to return to their sidelines.

When play resumed, the Falcons -- behind a career-high 141 yards rushing from Cordarrelle Patterson -- pulled out a 27-23 victory to earn their first win of the season. 

The drone delay at Lumen Field came after Saturday's college football game between the Washington Huskies and Stanford Cardinal at Husky Stadium was stopped for the same reason.
