Trent Dilfer's son hospitalized

KIRKLAND, Wash. (AP) -- Trevin Dilfer, the 5-year-old son of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Trent Dilfer, is in critical condition after a virus attacked his heart earlier this week.

In a statement released by the Seahawks on Saturday, the family said Trevin is "bravely battling a tough and uncertain illness." The statement did not say where he was hospitalized or give further details of the virus.

"The Dilfers give thanks for the love of so many, and ask that you continue keeping Trevin, his family and many caregivers in your prayers," Trent and Cassandra Dilfer wrote.

The couple have three other children.

Trent Dilfer helped the Baltimore Ravens win the Super Bowl in 2000 before joining the Seahawks. He missed the second half of last season with a torn Achilles' tendon.
