Seahawks...30 Bears...23

SEATTLE -- Matt Hasselbeck came out on top in a matchup between the quarterbacks who led the NFC’s previous two Super Bowl teams.

Hasselbeck passed for 337 yards and two touchdowns, and the Seattle Seahawks took advantage of Chicago quarterback Rex Grossman’s late fumble to hold on for a 30-23 victory against the Bears.

Grossman, reinstated as the Bears’ starter after six games of watching Brian Griese run the offense, was 24 for 37 for 266 yards -- his most since he threw for 282 last January in a win against Seattle in the NFC divisional playoffs.

Seattle (6-4) maintained its one-game lead over Arizona in the NFC West.

Grossman lost for the third time in four starts this season, but he isn’t the only reason Chicago is 4-6. The Bears’ defense, often dominant in their run to the Super Bowl last season, gave up 30 points for the fourth time in 10 games.
