"The Seahawks didn't change quarterbacks on Sunday.

Their quarterback, however, did change.

Tarvaris Jackson completed 17 of 24 passes he attempted in the second half and finished with 319 yards, a career high.

"Tarvaris showed us what we've been counting on," coach Pete Carroll said.

Jackson never passed for more than 249 yards during his five seasons in Minnesota. His three touchdown passes for the Seahawks on Sunday were his most in any game since he threw a career-high four at Arizona on Dec. 14, 2008.

It was about time for Jackson. Specifically, the amount of time he had to pass. He was not sacked. And after 14 sacks in the first 10 quarters of the season, Jackson has not been sacked since the first half last week against Arizona."
