Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck likened finally getting hit again following back problems to having flashbacks of a car accident.

All of Colorado is relieved Kyle Orton's second game as the Broncos' starting quarterback wasn't another train wreck.

Orton had a mostly reassuring answer to his dismal Denver debut, saying he feels his play is its best ever after he completed 16 of his first 19 throws with a touchdown before a relapse into another mistake.

Hasselbeck was even better, hitting on 16 of 23 throws with two touchdowns in his two quarters. He also withstood the first three sacks on his recuperating back in nine months during the Seattle Seahawks' 27-13 win over Denver on Saturday night.
