Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck looks for a receiver during the second half of an NFL football game against the New Orleans Saints at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Sunday, Nov. 21, 2010. Hasselbeck seems to hold sharper memories of the tougher times during his long tenure in Seattle than the moments when the Seahawks experienced success. The tougher moments seem to be the ones that have resonated. But that also makes Hasselbeck appreciate the successes he had during his 10 years as quarterback and moments such as Monday, Oct. 25, 2021 when he will be inducted into the Seahawks “Ring of Honor” at halftime of Seattle’s matchup with New Orleans.
