With the Seahawks not running well this season (only averaging 95.4 yards, 3.6 ypc) they really needed the passing game to perform well.  Matt Hasselbeck has answered the call despite injuries to key receivers Deion Branch and D.J. Hackett this season.  Hasselbeck has completed 251 of 402 passes (62.4%) for 2,887 yards with 18 TD passes and 9 interceptions (89.6 QB Rating) so far this season.  The Seahawks are in charge in the NFC West and Hasselbeck is the biggest reason for that.

The Seahawks were down 19-7 at the half but they came out smokin’ in the second half to win this game.  Matt Hasselbeck had a solid game as he completed 21 of 38 passes for 249 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception.  Maurice Morris ran tough as he carried the ball 16 times for 79 yards (4.9 ypc).  Deion Branch led the way in the passing game for the Seahawks as he caught 5 passes for 92 yards (18.4 avg) with a TD.  Bobby Engram (7 rec, 70 yards) and D.J.

DE Patrick Kerney led a good defensive effort by the Seahawks with 7 tackles, 3 sacks and a interception.  Lofa Tatupu (9 tackles) and Marcus Trufant (5 tackles, interception) also pitched in with solid contributions.  The Rams finished up with 104 yards rushing on 31 carries (3.4 ypc) and they also completed 23 of 37 passes for 161 yards.

CB Joshua Wilson had a incredible game on special teams as he returned 2 kickoffs for 115 yards….including a 89-yarder for a TD.

The Seahawks offense continued to purr against a usually rugged Bears defense and that was the reason for this big win.  Matt Hasselbeck was outstanding again today as he completed 30 of 44 passes for 337 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 interceptions.  Maurice Morris was outstanding also as he carried the ball 18 times for 87 yards (4.8 ypc) with a TD run and he also caught a pass for 19 yards.  D.J.
