Former NFL star reveals the one thing he would have done differently in Seahawks' Super Bowl XL loss

Former NFL star quarterback Matt Hasselbeck talks to Fox News Digital about his Super Bowl experience and whether he has any regrets.

When the Seattle Seahawks take the field against the New England Patriots on Sunday, it will be their fourth Super Bowl appearance.

The franchise’s first appearance came in 2006 in Super Bowl XL, as quarterback Matt Hasselbeck led them to a 13-3 record in the regular season. However, the Seahawks’ first trip to the big game did not go as they hoped, as they lost 21-10 to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In that game, Hasselbeck completed 26 of his 49 passes for 273 yards with one touchdown and one interception. In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 50-year-old said there is only one thing he would have done differently.

"I don't think there's anything that I would have done differently other than maybe not losing my poise. There were a couple of calls in the game that didn't go our way, and I lost my cool on the referee and didn't regain my poise by the time the 40-second clock had, you know, it was time to snap the next play," Hasselbeck told Fox News Digital in a recent interview with the Family Heart Foundation.

"So, I did throw an interception on that play that I'm talking about, and then I made the tackle on that interception, and then I got flagged again for making the tackle, which, you know, that's a whole (other thing) I got even more upset."
