We had to see this coming.

TJ Duckett silences critics by scoring 2 TDs. The regular season begins next week.

It's football season, and frankly, it hasn't come quickly enough for us. Since the end of last gridiron season, we lost our NBA team, the Mariners have become little more than a soap opera, and we've become far too familiar with Olympic swimmers. But in football, we are offered a reprieve from all the negativity (until the UW loses their first game, of course). Let's take a look at this weekend's games:

The Seattle Seahawks lost 18-17 tonight to the San Diego Chargers in their third game of the pre-season. The Hawks started fast with Charlie Frye connecting with Nate Burleson for a 68-yard TD pass, giving them an early 7-0 lead. The Hawks led late into the fourth quarter, when former Husky DB Omare Lowe was flagged for interference on a questionable call in the end zone, putting the ball on the one-yard line. The Chargers went into the end zone three plays later and then made the two-point conversion to take the lead for good. QB Charlie Frye left the game after a late hit in the fourth quarter. T.J. Duckett had a solid game at RB, while Justin Forsett struggled in the race for the final roster spot at that position.

The Seahawks make this season's only appearance on Monday Night Football tonight (5:00 PT) as they visit the San Diego Chargers in preseason action. Jobs are on the line as the preseason draws to a close and the regular season begins in less than two weeks. Teams are forced to cut 5 players from their rosters tomorrow, bringing their rosters down from 80 to 75 players.
