Even though there’s no sign of Shaun Alexander’s legs tiring, it’s good to know the Seahawks can still air it out. Hasselbeck tossed two of his three scores late in the game when Seattle needed a rally to top the Titans. But there’s a slight problem for Week 16 when the Colts come for a visit. There’s nothing on the line: Seattle has sealed a first-round bye and the Colts no longer have to worry about going undefeated, so starters may not play much.

When the league’s second-most prolific scorer is kept out of the end zone and held under 100 yards rushing for the third straight game, it’s time for fantasy owners to raise their eyebrows. Sure, he faced the Colts’ tough rush defense in the unfriendly confines of the RCA Dome. But when Tomlinson and his bruised ribs took a breather late in the game, backup Michael Turner burst for an 83-yard TD. If the rib injury proves more severe, keep your eye on Turner.

Talk about laying an egg. In one of the league’s top rivalries with a playoff berth on the line, Bledsoe’s pass on the Cowboys’ first offensive play was tipped and intercepted. He accounted for all four of Dallas’ turnovers, with three leading to 21 Redskins points. The seasoned veteran picked the worst time to come out like a teeth-chattering rookie–and there’s more trouble ahead with a trip to Carolina next week.
