A team in mourning was no match for one with so much to gain.



Seattle's Shaun Alexander ran for 139 yards and three touchdowns - including a rare TD receiving - to tie Priest Holmes' NFL record of 27 touchdowns in a season. That helped the Seahawks clinch NFC home-field advantage Saturday with a 28-13 victory over the injured, resting and reflective Indianapolis Colts.

The Colts, who already own home field in the AFC playoffs, were without coach Tony Dungy. Dungy is in Tampa, Fla., where his son died Thursday in an apparent suicide.

Alexander, the NFL rushing leader, also became the 16th NFL player to eclipse 1,800 yards rushing in a season. The Seahawks' 11th straight victory came against a depleted Indianapolis team without Pro Bowlers Marvin Harrison, Cato June and Bob Sanders - and with Pro Bowl quarterback Peyton Manning playing just one quarter.
