    <h2>Inconsistent Seahawks host Bears</h2>

    Chicago (4-5) at Seattle (5-4) Sunday 4:15 pm EST


    SEATTLE (Ticker) - If there is one thing that can be said aboutthe Seattle Seahawks this season, it's that they've beenconsistently inconsistent.


    With the status of running back Shaun Alexander uncertain, theSeahawks look to string together consecutive victories onSunday, when they host the Chicago Bears in an NFC contest.

    Alexander sat out last week with a sprained knee, missing hisfirst game of the season. He was not missed as Seattle blankedthe San Francisco 49ers, 24-0, on Monday night to complete aseason sweep.


    The Seahawks would like to think they've turned the corner, butthey can't be sure as Monday's win came against a woeful team.

    Seattle's longest winning streak this season is two games. Itbeat the the Cincinnati Bengals and 49ers to start the year 3-1.Since then, the Seahawks have dropped three of five games.

    Despite its inconsistent play, Seattle has a one-game lead overthe Arizona Cardinals (4-5) in the weak NFC West.


    "The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - it's got to end," Seahawkslinebacker Lofa Tatupu said. "I'd love to say it's over now,but we've got to prove that."


    The Seahawks might wish they could play all their games underthe lights as they recorded their fifth shutout on Monday NightFootball, extending a league record they already owned.

    Matt Hasselbeck completed 27-of-40 passes for 278 yards and twotouchdowns, while Maurice Morris, filling in for Alexander,rushed for 87 yards and a score.


    The Seahawks will be facing another team with offensive issues,as the Bears struggled to get past the Oakland Raiders, 17-6,last week.


    For nearly 57 minutes, Chicago was limited to three points, butRex Grossman, who took over when Brian Griese suffered ashoulder injury, tossed a 59-yard TD pass to Bernard Berrianwith 3:11 remaining for the go-ahead score.


    The Bears' starter for their first three games after leading theteam to the Super Bowl last season, Grossman had mixed resultsin his first appearance since September 23.


    He completed only five of his first 12 passes for 72 yards, butdid engineer the winning drive and finished 7-of-14 for 142yards.


    The Bears have yet to name a starter for this week. Griese hasstarted Chicago's last six games.


    The reigning NFC champions are struggling to stay in playoffcontention, training the New York Giants (6-3) and Detroit Lions(6-3) by two games in the wild-card race.


    Chicago likely needs to finish at least 5-2 to have a shot atreturning to the playoffs.
