The 2002 Seattle Seahawks season was highlighted by the opening of their state-of-the-art new home, Seahawks Stadium, and the team's successful transition to the NFC West. The campaign featured explosive offensive performances, most notably Shaun Alexander setting an NFL record with five first-half touchdowns in a victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Under head coach Mike Holmgren, the team finished the season strong by winning three of their final four games, while Matt Hasselbeck solidified his role as the franchise's starting quarterback. A three-time Pro Bowler and Seahawks Ring of Honor inductee, Matt Hasselbeck was a legendary quarterback who led Seattle to six playoff appearances and the franchise's first Super Bowl berth during his 10-season tenure.
