Third quarter
The Bears took the lead on their first possession of the second half, with more than just a little help from the Seahawks. T.J. Houshmandzadeh fumbled a pass from Seneca Wallace on the second play of the half and Bears defensive end Adewale Ogunleye recovered at the Seattle 42. Jay Cutler then hooked up with [...]
Second quarter
The Seahawks held a 13-7 lead at halftime, as the Bears defense finally stopped the Seahawks after they had scored on their first three possessions and the Bears offense finally found the end zone – with less than two minutes remaining. But the Seahawks also got on the board first in the second quarter, as [...]
First quarter
The Seahawks came out in their new green jerseys and quickly took a 10-0 lead in the first 15 minutes. The game started ominously for the Seahawks, as the Bears’ Johnny Knox took Olindo Mare’s kickoff 8 yards deep in the end zone and returned it 53 yards. Mare had to make the tackle, and [...]
No Lofa or Walt
Middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu (hamstring) and tackle Walter Jones (knee) will not play today against the Bears. They are among the Seahawks inactive players. The others: CB Josh Wilson (ankle) FB Justin Griffith (knee) LB Leroy Hill (groin) OT Sean Locklear (ankle) DE Michael Bennett QB Matt Hasselbeck David Hawthorne will start for Tatupu, with [...]
Countdown to kickoff
Greetings from Qwest Field, where the Seahawks will indeed breakout a new look today. It goes beyond the lime-green jersey – or perhaps below is a better choice. The players also will be wearing darker blue pants, which match the shoulders of the new-look jersey. The more pertinent question for this game: How many players [...]
Seahawks vs. Bears

Could, because the coaches still have not [...]
His wish is granted
The world was at Brandon Jackson’s disposal. His wish became a command as part of the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s program. So what did the 14-year-old from Federal Way want? To attend a Seahawks practice and meet quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. That wish came true Friday, and then some. “It’s really, really cool,” Jackson said in the locker [...]
Friday in Hawkville
A recap of the day’s activities: FOCUS ON Brandon Mebane. On a day when the major topic remained the injured players who definitely won’t, and likely won’t, play in Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears, there was one large piece of good news: The 301-pound Mebane looks ready to return after sitting out last week’s [...]
Thursday in Hawkville
A recap of the day’s activities: FOCUS ON Aaron Curry. Talk about your bounce-back performances. After admitting Monday that he over pursued some plays in last week’s game against the 49ers in San Francisco, the Seahawks’ first-round draft choice was a playmaking machine in practice today. The result of a little extra pep talk from [...]
Wednesday in Hawkville
A recap of the day’s activities: FOCUS ON Chris Spencer. The team’s starting center appears ready to return to action for the first time since tearing a quadriceps muscle on Aug. 22 in the second preseason game. Whether the former first-round draft choice starts Sunday when the Seahawks host the Chicago Bears at Qwest Field [...]
