Bears Lead Seahawks 10-3 in 2nd Quarter

CHICAGO (AP) - Rex Grossman threw a 9-yard scoring pass to Mushin Muhammad and the Chicago Bears led the Seattle Seahawks 7-3 after one quarter Sunday night. The Bears (3-0) were looking to win their first four games for the first time since the 1991 season. Seattle (3-0), the defending NFC champion, was playing without reigning NFL MVP Shaun Alexander, who has a cracked bone in his left foot.

Alexander had appeared in all 104 of Seattle's games, including five playoff contests, since the team selected him in the first round of the 2000 draft, and made 49 consecutive starts.

Alexander contemplated playing against the Bears, telling coach Mike Holmgren he felt healthy enough to play after two days of prayer. But tests revealed the bone had not healed.

In Alexander's place, Maurice Morris made his fourth career start at running back and did little in the first quarter. He carried the ball four times for 10 yards.

Both teams scored on their second possessions.

One week after tying a franchise record by throwing five touchdown passes against the Giants, Matt Hasselbeck connected with Deion Branch for 31 yards and Darrell Jackson for a 22-yard gain to set up a 23-yard field goal by Josh Brown.

Rex Grossman answered for the Bears, keying a 69-yard drive by completing 6 of 7 passes for 57 yards and finding Muhammad in the end zone to take the 7-3 lead.
