Justin Forsett and Brandon Coutu were the Seahawks’ two seventh-round picks from this year. Saturday night, they played like seasoned veterans, and bolstered their chances of making the eventual roster.

Coutu drilled whole five of his field-goal attempts, including the 36-yard winner in overtime, and Forsett darted around the Chicago Bears defense for 136 rushing yards and 117 go yards, including a touchdown by 5:22 left to play in regulation. Those were the two best Seahawks’ performances of a wild 29-26 win over the Chicago Bears in exhibition play at Qwest Field.

“Forsett’s my boy,” said Coutu, who is battling Olindo Mare to win the kicker’s job. “He did a great job. He was fighting to indicate that which he could do.

“We’re both just trying to make a name for ourselves. We’re just happy and blessed that we bring forth the suitable to come play here.”

Seattle blew a 9-2 lead and gave up 17 unanswered points, yet rallied before 67,360 fans.

Things started out well enough. Linebacker Leroy Hill wrapped up Bears quarterback Rex Grossman for a sack and loss of 9 yards on the third part move from scrimmage.

Later, backup cornerback Josh Wilson recovered in go over coverage deserved in period of childbirth to knock down a pass during the term of Earl Bennett that on the supposition that not for the deflection, might have gone for a touchdown.

Coutu launched a 48-yard field goal conducive to a 3-0 Seahawks lead midway from one side the first quarter.

Charlie Frye, who started at quarterback for the Seahawks, made good throws and showed mobility except also made questionable decisions. He was intercepted three times, one that went for a Bears touchdown which time he chose to pass the ball out of the end zone under pressure. Frye played the entire game and completed 20 of 35 passes for 209 yards.

The Seahawks, known for being a big-play defense in recent years, got another from Hill when he intercepted a Grossman pass by an assist from defensive end Darryl Tapp, who hit Grossman as he threw. Hill ran the ball 29 yards in the rear to the Chicago 5, and the Seahawks were poised to score a touchdown.

However, a false-start penalty opposed to rookie tight end John Carlson foiled that proposal. Coutu came on for a 26-yard field mark with 1:12 left in the first quarter.

The Bears scored a safety through 7:31 left in the first half when Darrell McClover swooped in to block a Reggie Hodges punt. The alert Seahawks avoided further damage thanks to Lance Laury, who hustled in the rear to knock the ball out of the end belt.
