Full Boxscore »

Matt Hasselbeck overcame some early turnovers to throw for three touchdowns, as the Seattle Seahawks defeated the St. Louis Rams, 28-0, in the season-opener for a pair of clubs looking to erase the memories of disappointing seasons with new head coaches patrolling the sidelines. Read full recap »

Alex Barron has made a habit of watching on while his skill position players get hit, but he had no trouble containing Patrick Kerney. It was the rest of the Rams expensive offensive line that Seattle's front four excelled against.

by John Morgan from Field Gulls on Sep 17, 2009 9:12 PM EDT

Forsett crossed Hasselbeck and put a block on Atogwe that prevented a turnover and may have saved the season.

by VanRam from Turf Show Times on Sep 17, 2009 11:52 AM EDT

The St. Louis Rams opted to punt on an early 4th down inside Seattle territory. Would it have been a different game if they had gone for it?

How do you replace Matt Hasselbeck's most trusted receiver? With a bigger, stronger and younger model.
