There are the 2007 Patriots, a juggernaut, and the 2014 not-so-dominant version.There are the current Seahawks, not quite as fearsome as last years championship edition.Throw in a Packers team that doesnt much resemble the Lombardi squads, and a group of Colts who have experienced more ups and downs this season than the rest of this Final Four.Yes, its been a long and winding road to the conference title games for New England, Seattle, Green Bay and Indianapolis.Its been quite gratifying because of the challenge of answering the Super Bowl accomplishment, said Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, whose Seahawks were 3-3 and fighting off the championship hangover in October.Theyve won 10 of 11 since, and their defence became immovable once All-Pro inside linebacker Bobby Wagner returned from a right foot injury.When I went into this year with the thought that this is a very unique chance at showing that you can handle all of that — its been difficult for people and the history of it shows you that its hard to come back and get yourself back into this kind of position again. So this is exactly where wed hoped we would be right now. So thats something that weve accomplished; its rewarding to this point.It should be. Until the Seahawks beat Carolina last Saturday, the last defending Super Bowl to win its next post-season game was New England — nine years ago.Just as much in the doldrums back in early autumn as the Seahawks: Tom Brady and the Patriots. They were 2-2, coming off an ugly loss at Kansas City in prime time.The three-time Super Bowl winner had little cohesion with a mediocre group of wideouts other than Julian Edelman. Star tight end Rob Gronkowski was slowly coming back from injuries that basically wiped out his previous season. Questions abounded concerning the running game, the offensive line, and a defence that had been torched in two of the first four games.In the next 12 weeks, the Patriots won 10 times. Between Oct. 5 and Nov. 23, they never scored fewer than 27 points and averaged more than 39 points in a seven-game winning streak.Think New England straightened things out?Its hard to be oblivious to things, Brady said of commentaries that the Patriots were no longer elite. We all have TVs or the Internet, or the questions I get and the emails that I get from people that are concerned. Nobody died or anything. Its just a loss and I think weve always done a great job putting losses behind us quickly.Coach Bill Belichick sees no magical formula for getting on the straight and narrow.I think at this point really its just about everybody doing their job, he said. I dont think it really matters how many games youve played or how long youve been here.Green Bays issues in a 1-2 start — spotty offence, weak blocking, questions about the secondary — soon disappeared as the Packers won nine of 10.But one bugaboo that never truly was answered could be especially damaging on Sunday at imposing CenturyLink Field: Green Bays road performances.Consider that the Packers had only one truly memorable performance in going 4-4 away from Lambeau Field, a 38-17 rout of Chicago in Week 4. And pretty much everyone did that to the Bears at Soldier Field.The Packers journey truly has been winding on the road.Not that theyre backing down when theyve travelled so far.Its a great opportunity, its kind of you against ... you and your guys, the people you bring with you, in a hostile environment, All-Pro quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. Its kind of an all-in against their team and the elements, the crowd and the noise. So yeah, you feed off that.Indianapolis has fed off being considered an outsider in the AFC, and especially among the remaining quarter. The other three have Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks, for instance.Then again, the Colts might have the best bet for the future at the position in Andrew Luck.Indys losses (to Denver and Philadelphia to open the season, routs against Pittsburgh, Dallas and, yes, New England) were more notable than its victories, the best of which was a 27-0 romp past Cincinnati. The Colts looked vulnerable heading into January.Then came the latest twist: wins over the Bengals and at Denver.Thats the whole point of playing every single week, defensive end Cory Redding said. We dont want to be the best team Week 1 and then basically shut it down for the remainder of the season. We want to grow and get better week in and week out, and in doing so youre going to take some tough losses, and you have to learn from them and bounce back. That shows you the resiliency of this team. That shows you the heart of this team. That shows you the character of this team.Those are the things that we continue to keep doing and were just playing at a high level right now because everybodys fighting for one another.___AP Sports Writers Michael Marot, Howard Ulman, Tim Booth and Genaro C.

Cheap Marlins Jerseys China .com) - It appears both the Houston Rockets and Chicago Bulls will reach the playoffs, but the two squads are coming off losing efforts.If battling back is a sign of a team that knows how to win, the Winnipeg Goldeyes presented a strong case Wednesday night. The Goldeyes came back from two deficits to beat the Kansas City T-Bones 7-5 before 6,523 joyous fans at Shaw Park. The win moves Winnipeg 6 1/2 games ahead of the St. Paul Saints in the American Associations North Division and extends the Goldeyes winning streak to a season-high seven games. “These guys never give up,” Goldeyes outfielder Reggie Abercrombie said of his teammates, who despite the win stranded a season-high 13 runners on the base paths. “Every time you go out there, you expect to be in the game.” After Winnipeg opened the scoring in the bottom of the second inning on a Kansas City error, the T-Bones struck for four runs against Goldeyes starter Chris Salamida in the top of the third. The T-Bones batted around in the inning and had five hits. The Goldeyes dug into the deficit with two runs in the bottom of the fifth, as Casey Haerther, who doubled to lead off the inning, scored on a sac fly and Luis Alen drove in Abercrombie with a single. Winnipeg tied the game an inning later when Ray Sadlers sac fly brought home Josh Mazzola. The T-Bones quickly regained the lead with a run in the top of the seventh, but the Goldeyes didnt stay behind for long. With runners on second and third and two out in the bottom half of the seventh, Tyler Kuhn ripped a shot down the firstt base line to score Abercrombie and Brock Bond, who reached base on an infield single.dddddddddddd. “I got a slider down and in and was able to get it up high enough to get it over the first basemans glove,” Kuhn said of his game-winning hit. “I dont turn on too many balls down the line, so I was happy to get that one.” Mazzola then doubled to score Kuhn. “The pitching held us in the game,” Abercrombie said. “We feel if the pitching holds us in the game, were going to come back on anyone. We have a lot of confidence in ourselves to go out and get it done.” Haerther led Winnipeg with three hits, while Kuhn had two RBI. Buried in the comeback was Salamidas record-setting night. He stuck out the first two batters he faced in the top of the first to pass Ace Walker for the franchise strikeout record. Salamida struck out six T-Bones in six innings of work and now has 385 Ks as a member of the Goldeyes in five seasons with the team. Gabe Aguilar, who gave up Kansas Citys go-ahead run in the seventh inning, swooped in to vultur his fifth win of the season. Chris Kissock pitched the top of the ninth for his 10th save of the season. Jared Messer took the loss for Kansas City. The Goldeyes will go for the sweep Thursday night at Shaw Park. Nick Hernandez (4-0, 3.56) will toe the rubber for Winnipeg against Kansas Citys Kyle DeVore (2-1, 2.29).
