Hasselbeck starting Saturday?

Matt Hasselbeck will start at quarterback for the Seahawks in Saturday's NFC playoff game against the New Orleans Saints, Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Thursday after practice. Hasselbeck, who missed Seattle's season finale with a hip injury, had been sharing snaps this week with Charlie Whitehurst, who started Sunday night against the St. Louis Rams. Hasselbeck has completed 59.9 percent of his passes this season for 3,001 yards and 12 touchdowns, with 17 interceptions. Whitehurst, who has appeared in six games this season, completed 22 of 36 passes for 192 yards and a touchdown against the Rams. The 16-6 win handed the Seahawks (7-9) an improbable NFC West title and a home playoff game against the defending Super Bowl champion Saints (11-5).
