Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said Wednesday he "kind of messed up" when he said the NFL told him there were officiating mistakes made during last Sunday's overtime win over the New York Giants.

The Seahawks continue to work toward a long-term contract for Pro Bowl RB Shaun Alexander, coach Mike Holmgren said.

Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Ray Rhodes, who had a mild stroke two months ago, was hospitalized Friday after another "episode" and will miss Sunday's game at Arizona.

The Seattle Seahawks will pay Ken Hamlin's contract for 2005, even though they are no longer bound to because his season was ended by a non-football injury.
