Matt Hasselbeck had his coming out party yesterday against the tough Redskins defense. He demonstrated why Seattle has a real shot to win it all this year, as he led Seattle to an impressive 20-10 victory over Washington. ESPN’s John Clayton sums it up well:
Nationally, Hasselbeck isn’t a household name. Not yet, anyway, but games such as this NFC divisional playoff are starting to show what a lot of players and coaches already realize. Hasselbeck is more than just a leader of the offense. He, along with Holmgren’s play-calling, is one of the main reasons Seattle has been to the playoffs three consecutive seasons and now is within one game of the franchise’s first Super Bowl.
Shawn Alexander should be back next week, so Seattle fans have to be excited about their chances.
