FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- This time, Seattle won it at the goal line.It certainly wont make up for the Super Bowl loss two seasons back, but the Seahawks goal-line stand lifted them to a 31-24 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday night.Tom Brady couldnt connect with Rob Gronkowski on a fade pattern on fourth down as New England (7-2) failed four times from inside the 2 in the dying moments.He was playing off me ... pretty far, farther than usual, Gronkowski said about safety Kam Chancellor. You dont usually see that. A fade, I had to go up to him and initiate a move. I just wanted get on top of his toes, that is what you are taught. I just got up on his toes too much.It was reminiscent of how the Seahawks (6-2-1) lost the 2015 Super Bowl when Malcolm Butler intercepted at the goal line to win the NFL title for the Patriots.When it got down to it, when you get a chance to win a game on the 1-yard line , there aint nothing like it in football, said coach Pete Carroll, whose Seahawks worked on defending that exact play at the end of Fridays practice. Its one of the great challenges that a team and a defense gets. And our guys just came through, and hung in there, and just fought for every inch and let us walk away with the win.Doug Baldwin caught three touchdown passes from Russell Wilson, including a 15-yarder for the final margin. Strangely, Seattle went for 2 points and failed on the conversion, leaving the Patriots a chance to tie with a touchdown and an extra point kick.`We wanted to make it a two-possession game, Carroll said.But LeGarrette Blount, who earlier rushed for three touchdowns and has 12 this season, couldnt get into the end zone from close range, nor could Brady on a pair of sneaks.Our execution wasnt great, Brady said, and they put a lot of pressure on you defensively. They have a lot of good players and they make you earn every yard. They play to the end, they have been in a lot of close games.It came down to a yard at the end and we didnt get it.Wilson finished 25 for 37 for 348 yards and the three scores to Baldwin. Brady was 23 of 32 for 316 yards but no TDs after throwing for 12 in his first four games since returning from suspension.New Englands Martellus Bennett had seven receptions for 102 yards to lead all receivers.A GAME OF SWINGSIt was a fierce, sometimes viciously physical game. Gronkowski took one particularly hard hit from Seahawks standout safety Earl Thomas and temporarily had to leave the game in the first half.It also was a game of big plays and big swings, perhaps none more so than Julian Edelmans spectacular over-the-shoulder 33-yard catch on a third-and 25 to end the third quarter. That set up Stephen Gostkowskis 30-yard field goal for a 24-22 lead.Or maybe it was rookie C.J. Prosises 38-yard catch between two defenders to the New England 2, leading to Hauschkas fourth field goal after a strong goal-line stand by the Patriots.Or any of Baldwins three TD receptions.Or, in the end, the power of Seattles interior defense on the short runs by Blount or Brady, and Kam Chancellors tight coverage on Gronkowski on the final play.BLOUNT INSTRUMENTBlount scored twice on 1-yard rushes, bulling his way into the end zone on the second score. He also scooted left for a 13-yard TD in the third period for a 21-19 lead.PICK-FREE NO MOREBradys interception in the second quarter derailed the Patriots chance to tie the 1960 Cleveland Browns for an NFL-record nine games without an interception. DeShawn Shead made the pick.New England had thrown 258 passes before being intercepted.DONT DEFERSomeday perhaps teams will learn not to defer when winning the opening coin toss against New England. The Patriots drove relentlessly for 75 yards and their opening touchdown after the Seahawks did precisely that.New England has scored touchdowns on five of its opening nine drives this season, three of those with Brady at quarterback.Oh yeah, Seattle went three-and-out with the second-half kickoff.UP NEXT:Seattle: The Seahawks host the Eagles.New England: The Patriots also play on the West Coast next Sunday, at San Francisco.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLRetro 5 Air Jordans For Sale .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- Say this about Dale Earnhardt Jr. -- he follows doctors orders.After missing three straight Sprint Cup races because of lingering effects of a concussion, NASCARs most popular driver did something Friday thats part of his therapy -- he made his first public appearance to speak about his recovery.I missed my team, my teammates, Earnhardt said. I just wanted to come see everybody. I get to hang out with my guys a little bit. This has been so weird not to be at the track. Its frustrating, but its the process. Were just taking it one evaluation at a time.I just want to get better. Nothing else is a priority. Our intentions are to get cleared and get back to racing. Im not ready to quit.Doctors told Earnhardt his latest injury occurred June 12 at Michigan International Speedway. He was clipped in the rear by Chris Bueschers No. 34 while racing three wide with AJ Allmendinger and hit the wall at an angle that softened the impact. He drove three more races before symptoms became too severe.The doctors feel they can make my brain stronger to be able to cope with these common events, he said. The event that I had at Michigan I shouldnt have had a concussion from. I should be able to get through events like that without having any issues.Earnhardt has been keeping fans updated on his condition via weekly podcasts. Besides reconnecting with his team and his competitors in the garage, his appearance at the road course in the Finger Lakes of upstate New York served a purpose.My doctor wants to put me in situations that drive the symptoms, Earnhardt said. My doctor calls that exposure, and this is probably the worst situation as far as making my systems go haywire.ddddddddddddThats what he wants. Thats just part of the process.The one thing that I worry most about is ... people making assumptions of where Im at, what Im doing, and what Im up to. I dont want people making assumptions. To give me peace of mind and to bring down any type of stress and anxiety through the process is to open up and be honest about whats going on and how were doing.Earnhardt wont drive at Watkins Glen on Sunday and also will miss the race at Bristol on Aug. 20. Four-time series champion Jeff Gordon, who came out of retirement to fill in for Earnhardt the last two races, will remain behind the wheel in the No. 88 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports.There remains no timetable for Earnhardts return. That decision will be left to his doctors. He underwent further evaluation Monday at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Sports Medicine Concussion Program and said afterward that he continues to experience issues with balance and an ability to focus on an object while he moves his head.Earnhardt expressed frustration at how long hes been out.I never anticipated being out this long, he said. I didnt have this massive accident. The symptoms crept in slowly. I didnt think this was that serious. Its a challenge. I really believe and trust what theyre telling me. Theyre telling me without question were going to get back to normal.---Follow Kekis on Twitter: www.twitter.com/Greek1947 ' ' '
