SEATTLE (Ticker) -- Matt Hasselbeck became the latestquarterback to exploit the Cincinnati Bengals' beleaguereddefense. Hasselbeck tossed a 22-yard touchdown pass to Nate Burleson with1:06 remaining, lifting the Seattle Seahawks to a 24-21 victoryover the Bengals on Sunday. It was the 17th career fourth-quarter comeback for Hasselbeck,who completed 24-of-37 passes for 248 yards and threetouchdowns. Burleson's touchdown capped a wild fourth quarter in which therewere four lead changes. Cincinnati (1-2) had taken a 21-17 lead on Kenny Watson's 8-yardtouchdown run with 2:48 remaining. After surrendering 544 yards in last week's 51-45 loss to theCleveland Browns, the Bengals' defense played better Sunday butcould not stop the Seahawks (2-1) when it mattered most. Facing a 3rd-and-10 at the Bengals 45, Hasselbeck hit DeionBranch for a 9-yard completion. On 4th-and-1, Shaun Alexanderripped off a 14-yard run around right tackle. With the Bengals' defense reeling, Burleson snuck behindcornerback Johnathan Joseph in the left corner on the next play.He caught a perfectly thrown pass from Hasselbeck inside the 5and stepped into the end zone for an easy touchdown.

SEATTLE (Ticker) -- Matt Hasselbeck became the latestquarterback to exploit the Cincinnati Bengals' beleaguereddefense. Hasselbeck tossed a 22-yard touchdown pass to Nate Burleson withone minute remaining, lifting the Seattle Seahawks to a 24-21victory over the Bengals on Sunday. It was the 17th career fourth-quarter comeback for Hasselbeck,who completed 24-of-37 passes for 248 yards and threetouchdowns. "A game like this, if you are fortunate to win a game like this,it is a good building block for your season," Seahawks coachMike Holmgren said. "Every phase of our football teamcontributed. You can build on that." Burleson's touchdown capped a wild fourth quarter in which therewere four lead changes. Cincinnati (1-2) had taken a 21-17 lead on Kenny Watson's 8-yardtouchdown run with 2:48 remaining. After surrendering 544 yards in last week's 51-45 loss to theCleveland Browns, the Bengals' defense showed improvement Sundaybut could not stop the Seahawks (2-1) when it mattered most. "This is a difficult football game to lose there at the end,"Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. "I think in all three phases -and I told our guys this - we need to execute and play better." Facing a 3rd-and-10 at the Bengals 45, Hasselbeck hit DeionBranch for a 9-yard completion. On 4th-and-1, Shaun Alexander,who rushed for 100 yards on 21 carries, ripped off a 14-yard runaround right tackle. "We were fortunate there," Hasselbeck said of the fourth-downconversion. "I think they might have misaligned there. Theyhave a lot of injuries. We were fortunate to have the perfectcall for the way they lined up." With the Bengals' defense reeling, Burleson snuck behindcornerback Johnathan Joseph in the left corner on the next play.He caught a perfectly thrown pass from Hasselbeck inside the 5and stepped into the end zone for an easy touchdown. "I just ran past him (Joseph), got in his blind spot, and Matthit me square in the pads," Burleson said. "I was justthinking, Get in the end zone." "Nate did a great a great job of exploding and coming off fast,and expecting the ball," Hasselbeck added. The game could have come down to which team had the ball last,but Cincinnati's hopes ended when Glenn Holt fumbled on theensuing kickoff. Alvin Pearman and Lance Laury jarred the ballloose and Deon Grant recovered for the Seahawks. "I know that if our offense gets the ball with that minute togo, we were going to go down and we were going to score,"Bengals receiver Chad Johnson said. "I know that." The Bengals fell short despite another 300-yard game by CarsonPalmer, who completed 27-of-43 passes for 342 yards and atouchdown. T.J. Houshmandzadeh tied a career high with 12 receptions for141 yards while Johnson caught nine passes for 138 yards. "All we needed was a field goal," Palmer said. "We had threetimeouts and a minute to go, which is all the time in the worldto score." The Seahawks grabbed a 14-10 halftime lead on Hasselbeck's42-yard TD pass to Deion Branch with 2:06 left in the firsthalf. Cincinnati's defense seemed to stiffen in the second half,making two big plays that appeared to turn the game in theBengals' favor.
