NFL.com wire reports
SEATTLE (Dec. 24, 2005) -- Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander tied the NFL record for most touchdowns in a single season, scoring three times against Indianapolis.
Alexander equaled Priest Holmes' mark of 27 set in 2003 on a 1-yard scoring plunge with 3:58 remaining. Though Alexander was out of the game when the Seahawks got into scoring position, he pleaded on the sideline with coach Mike Holmgren, who called timeout. He sent Alexander into the game and after scoring, Alexander hugged all of his offensive linemen.
Alexander had a 2-yard TD run in the first quarter and caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from Matt Hasselbeck in the third quarter. It was his first receiving touchdown since Dec. 12, 2004, against Minnesota. He had 14 catches in 14 games coming into Saturday.
Alexander gained 139 yards, becoming the 16th player in NFL history to eclipse 1,800 yards rushing in a season. He now has 1,807.
