Wallace completed 15-of-20 passes for 165 yards, and threw TD passes to Trent Shelton, Joel Filani and Jeb Putzier.
Earlier, Hasselbeck went 7-for-8 passing for 70 yards, including an 18-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Kent in his lone series.
Meanwhile, reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year Adrian Peterson played sparingly and did not carry the ball for Minnesota. Peterson's backup Chester Taylor carried four times for seven yards and scored on a one-yard dive up the middle in the second quarter.
The Vikings eschewed the running game and took to the air behind second-year quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, who looked impressive.
Jackson completed 8-of-11 passes for 118 yards and a 6-yard touchdown pass to fullback Thomas Tapeh in his first drive.
