Trailing 26-7 to Arizona on Sunday, the Seahawks had a chance to pull off the second-greatest comeback win in franchise history (in 1995, the Seahawks overcame a 20-point deficit at Denver). Instead, Matt Hasselbeck's third interception sent the Hawks to their eighth loss, and sent his passer rating plunging to 55.0 for the season, a career low. In all, Seattle's three quarterbacks have collaborated for a 65.1 passer rating in 2008. How that compares to teams generally acknowledged as the worst in modern NFL history:
