He returned as a starter at Tampa Bay in week seven of the season, defeating the team 20-10. He led his team to a 34-13 victory over San Francisco over the next week. Wallace passed for the longest touchdown pass in Seattle Seahawks history this week, with a 90-yard finish to Koren Robinson in the Seahawks' first play from scrimmage in week 9. However, the Seahawks lost by 26–7 to the Philadelphia Eagles. In week ten, Wallace appeared again in the 21-19 road loss to the Miami Dolphins. Hasselbeck was cleared by team doctors to play and was the starter for week 11. Wallace started against the New England Patriots on week 14 after another injury to Hasselbeck, where he threw 20 completions in 28 attempts for 212 yards and three touchdowns. His passer rating for the game was 128.9. On three attempts, he went for 47 yards for 47 yards. However, the Seahawks lost by Wallace late in the fourth quarter, resulting in a 24-21 loss. The Seahawks defeated the St. Louis Rams 23-20 at the Edward Jones Dome the following week, for his second game as a starter.
