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-NFL Custom Astros Jersey China . Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0.

In that game, Zdeno Chara put a check on Tommy Wingels that clearly targeted his head. TEMPE, Ariz. -- It might be Honey Badger time for the Arizona Cardinals.With the Cards reeling, Tyrann Mathieu feels he cant sit back and continue to play deep safety while he regains movement and confidence in his surgically repaired right knee.I mean, were 1-3, man, Mathieu said. Its not really time for me to sit back and play it slow. I feel good. I feel great. I look forward to wherever coach puts me at, but if I got anything to say about it, Ill be back in my normal spot.Mathieus normal spot is in the box at slot cornerback, despite his position being listed as safety. Last season, before he tore his right ACL, he played 519 of his 833 defensive snaps in the slot, with another 170 lined up as an outside linebacker.This season, he has spent just 25 of his 220 snaps in the slot. He has spent 159 snaps at free safety.The past two games, Mathieu has spent more plays in the box but has dropped back into coverage instead of getting miixed up in the play at the line of scrimmage.dddddddddddd Hes antsy for that to change.Im ready to cut it loose, Mathieu said. My expectations are extremely high for myself. Ill never feel sorry for myself, so I think its just time for me to get back to what Im doing. I feel comfortable out there. Its time for me to start making plays.Mathieus campaign to play more in the slot might get a bolster from a groin injury to fellow safety Tyvon Branch, who had picked up Mathieus snaps in the slot. The severity of Branchs injury has yet to be announced by the Cardinals, but he did not practice Monday. Branch has played 129 of his 166 snaps in the slot, or 77.7 percent.Arizona coach Bruce Arians has said hell move Mathieu back to his old position when the Honey Badger tells him hes ready.I just did, Mathieu said.
