Backup QB Seneca Wallace made 33 of 45 passes for 257 yards with a TD. QB Matt Hasselbeck is practicing again and should be ready to roll Sunday, his return would give a boost to a Seattle team mired in a three-game losing skid.

The Seahawks generated a low 49 yards rushing and 230 yards in the air as QB Wallace connected with five of ten receivers who ended with double-digit yards. In the past two weeks, the Seahawks have allowed Jay Cutler and Peyton Manning to shred their secondary . While Jacksonville's David Garrard may not have the name recognition of Cutler or Manning, he has played extremely well over the past two weeks and is fully capable of burning Seattle if it does not improve its coverage. The Seahawks are ranked 19th against the pass and 21st against the rush. TE John Carlson has a touchdown catch in four of his past five home games.The Jaguars (2-2) beat Tennessee 37-17 at home in Week 4 and sit second in the AFC South. QB David Garrard made 27 of 37 passes for 323 yards with three TD passes, overall he’s thrown for 941 yards with five TD passes and one interception. Their top RB Rashad Jennings had nine carries for 53 yards, while RB Maurice Jones-Drew pounded in a TD. Top WR Mike Sims-Walker made seven catches for 91 yards with two TD’s, while TE Marcedes Lewis added a TD. The Jags managed 137 yards rushing and 305 yards in the air as QB Garrard connected with eight of ten receivers who finished with double-digit yards. The Jags defense is starting to come around thanks to CB Derek Williams . The rookie cornerback out of William and Mary has been a revelation. He had an interception last week against Tennessee and made a highlight-reel hit on Titans WR Nate Washington. He already has 21 tackles, three passes defended and two interceptions this year. The Jaguars are 17-4 when rushing for 150-plus yards since 2006. RB Maurice Jones-Drew has 45 total touchdowns in 51 games. Recent Trends to Consider:
