Seahawks to Face Chicago for the 3rd Time in Four Seasons

 

The Seahawks open a stretch where three of their next four games before
Week 7's bye week are played at home in Qwest Field. Kickoff is slated
for 1:05

pm (PT) and the game will be televised on FOX (channel 13 in Seattle)
and broadcast on News Talk 97.3 KIRO FM and on 710 ESPN Radio in
Seattle.

 

This week's game versus the Bears will mark the 11th time the two clubs
have squared off in the regular season with Seattle holding a 7-3 series
lead, and

winning three of the last four. The Seahawks are 2-0 in Qwest Field vs.
the Bears.

 

After dropping a 34-7 decision in Seattle's inaugural season on December
5, the Seahawks ran off four victories from 1978-87. Chicago ended that
streak

on September 9, 1990, with a 17-0 Bears shutout win. Most recently,
Seattle defeated Chicago, 30-23, on November 18, 2007, behind Matt
Hasselbeck's 30-for-44,

337-yard and two-touchdown performance. D.J. Hackett was Hasselbeck's
favorite target, catching nine balls for 136 yards and one score.

 

The teams have faced each other once in the postseason, the 2006 NFC
Divisional Playoff Game, with Chicago coming out on top 27-24 in
overtime. Seattle

could not hold on to a 24-21 lead in the fourth quarter as Robbie Gould
kicked two field goals, including the game-winning 49-yarder in
overtime.

 

Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is on the verge of overtaking Dave Krieg on
many of Seattle's record lists. He needs 204 attempts, 62 completions
and 2,352

yards to pass Krieg as Seattle's all-time gun-slinger.
