Memories, sweet and sour.The last time the Seahawks and Patriots were on the same field, Malcolm Butler was making a Super Bowl-saving play for New England. His goal-line interception robbed Seattle of a rare second straight NFL crown and gave Tom Brady his record-tying fourth in the Super Bowl era.They meet in Foxborough with both in solid position to chase another championship, the Patriots (7-1) more so than the Seahawks (5-2-1).Butler certainly doesnt mind seeing highlights of his interception, something NBC cant avoid showing Sunday night.You know, it always does whenever I think back on it, Butler says of bringing a smile at the remembrance. But thats not going to help us win this game. This is bigger than me. Its about this team. And that play will not help us Sunday night. So we got to be ready to play.Since Tom Brady returned from his four-game suspension, hes been as ready as at any time of his Hall of Fame-caliber career. He recalls the 2015 Super Bowl as being in a tough spot against a great, great football team and we pulled it out.It took every blade of grass on that field to keep them from scoring. In 2014, they were an incredible team.Seattle isnt incredible right now , but the Seahawks tend to build throughout the season. A win at New England will be a major step in that process.Everything that you go through gives you a chance to learn, so we certainly go back and watch all that stuff and how they looked at us and how we looked at them, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll says of that bitter Super Bowl loss. Just like we looked at all the rest of the games, we pay a lot of attention to whats going on now and some of the names and the faces are the same, but quite a few of them arent. We have to figure all that out.The action began Thursday night with Baltimores 28-7 victory over Cleveland that left the winless Browns at a historic low point in franchise history.Cleveland (0-10) has opened a season with 10 consecutive losses for the first time since joining the NFL in 1950. The Browns have lost 11 straight on the road since winning in Baltimore in October 2015.Joe Flacco threw three touchdown passes for Baltimore (5-4).Off this week are Detroit (5-4), Buffalo (4-5), Indianapolis (4-5) and Oakland (7-0).Kansas City (6-2) at Carolina (3-5)Sure, the Panthers have a much inferior record to the Chiefs. And KC has won 16 of its last 18 regular-season matches.Yet theres a feeling that the Panthers are beginning to get things in order with two straight wins. If they can avoid turnovers -- the Chiefs are an NFL-best plus-13 in turnover margin and lead the league in takeaways with 20 -- they could still get in the playoff mix.The seasons not over yet. Youre speaking as if this is a wash season, Cam Newton told reporters this week. Were right where we want to be. Were in a position to compete and challenge teams and they know that.Dallas (7-1) at Pittsburgh (4-4)The Cowboys seek an eighth straight victory, which would tie their 1977 team for the longest single-season winning streak in club history. That team won the Super Bowl. This one has gained at least 400 yards in a franchise-record six consecutive games.Players to watch are two of the games best targets. Dallas tight end Jason Witten needs five receptions to pass Andre Johnson for ninth on all-time list (1,062). Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is 12 receptions from passing Heath Miller for second on the franchise list (592).Atlanta (6-3) at Philadelphia (4-4)A big assignment for the slumping Eagles, who have dropped three straight to Atlanta. Phillys secondary has been a sieve -- Eli Manning tore it up for four TDs last week -- and now it takes on Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and the NFLs second-ranked offense.Also ominous for the hosts is that the Falcons have found a pass rush. But the Eagles have scored 20-plus points in 10 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the NFL.Minnesota (5-3) at Washington (4-3-1)Although they dont meet up that often, this is one of the NFLs best and tightest series, tied 12-12.Its also a matchup of Minnesotas strong defense, ranked third, and Washingtons No. 4 offense.The issues for the Vikings, losers of three in a row, are when they have the ball or when they are kicking it. The offense has stagnated with the line a jumbled mess and no rushing attack, and ranks at the bottom. Blair Walsh is having a mysteriously poor place-kicking season.Washington surely will miss standout LT Trent Williams, who begins serving a four-game suspension under the NFLs substance abuse policy.Denver (6-3) at New Orleans (4-4)Another top defense -- Denver is fourth overall, No. 1 against the pass -- going up against a dangerous offense. Drew Brees, having another sensational season, leads the NFLs best passing attack.You look at it, and youre like, `another top offense, Broncos linebacker Shane Ray says. But its another opportunity to be great. Its another opportunity to go out and compete against someone that is looked at as the best. Its a challenge we want every week.New Orleans rekindled its running game a week ago against San Francisco, rushing for a season-high 248 yards. Mark Ingram rushed for 158 yards, including a career-long 75-yard TD.Cincinnati (3-4-1) at New York Giants (5-3), Monday nightTwo teams that can light up the Big Apple skyline with their passing games; forget the Giants rushing attack, which is nonexistent.Eli Manning threw for four TDs last Sunday and in Odell Beckham Jr. has one of the NFLs most dangerous targets. On the other side, Andy Dalton has a 100-plus rating and no interceptions in four of the last five games. And he has A.J. Green as his top receiver: Green leads the NFL with 59 receptions, ranks No. 2 with 896 yards receiving, and has 17 catches for 290 yards and a touchdown in the past two games.Green Bay (4-4) at Tennessee (4-5)It might seem shocking that the Titans have the higher-ranked offense than the Packers, and its not really close.The key here is whether DeMarco Murray, second in the NFL with 807 yards rushing and tied for second with nine total TDs, can get going against the leagues stingiest rush defense.This is the start of a three-game road trip that could make or break Green Bays season.Miami (4-4) at San Diego (4-5)The first stop on a California vacation, uh, business trip for the Dolphins, who will remain out west after this before taking on Oakland.Miami has won three in a row and has found a ground game thanks to Jay Ajayi, who has rushed for well over 500 yards combined in the last three games.San Diego has a strong running attack, too, with Melvin Gordon, also in his second NFL season, coming off a career-best 196-yard performance in a win over the Titans. He also scored his NFL-high 11th touchdown.Houston (5-3) at Jacksonville (2-6)The Texans swept the series the last two years, but they are 0-3 away from Houston and play four of their next five on the road. Their best weapon could be WR DeAndre Hopkins, who torched the Jaguars last season, catching 17 passes for 237 yards and two TDs in two games.Houstons road woes might not matter much at EverBank Field, where the Jags are 0-3.San Francisco (1-7) at Arizona (3-4-1)Heres how poorly Chip Kelly has fared in his debut season with the 49ers: Kellys college teams at Oregon lost seven games in four seasons; his 49ers have lost seven in a row. They rank last in defense, and Arizona star receiver Larry Fitzgerald makes a living against them. He has more TD catches against the Niners (16) than any other player in NFL history.The Cardinals won 33-21 at San Francisco in early October.Los Angeles (3-5) at New York Jets (3-6)Lots of QB angst here. For LA, fans want top overall pick Jared Goff on the field and veteran Case Keenum on the bench. Jets fans want Ryan Fitzpatrick, who is dealing with knee issues, put on the sideline for Bryce Petty.The Rams have dropped four in a row and cant get 2015 Offensive Rookie of the Year running back Todd Gurley on track. New York ranks fourth in rushing defense, but is vulnerable in the air.Chicago (2-6) at Tampa Bay (3-5)Jay Cutler returned to the Bears in Week 8 before they had their bye and actually had a positive effect in an upset of the Vikings. Chicago is getting strong contributions from rookie running back Jordan Howard (505 yards rushing) and tight end Zach Miller, who comes off a seven-reception, 88-yard performance against Vikings.Bucs QB Jameis Winston has been effective with eight TD passes and one interception in the past three games. But Tampa Bay lost two of those.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL http://www.texansrookiestore.com/Texans-Xavier-Su-A-Filo-Jersey/ . "Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/T-Shirts/ .

Nine days before the opening ceremony, organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that Sochi is "fully ready" and will deliver safe, friendly and well-run games that defy the grim reports that have overshadowed preparations. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/Texans-Benardrick-Mckinney-Jersey/ . Terms of the deal were not immediately available. The 26-year-old finished last season with Clevelands Triple-A affiliate in Columbus after signing with the Indians in August. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/Texans-Will-Fuller-V-Jersey/ . Haas said he "felt a lot of pain" in his right shoulder when he slammed his racket to the ground in frustration after losing his serve at 3-3 in the first set. THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Bernhard Langer has a left knee injury that could force him to withdraw from the PowerShares QQQ Championship, the inaugural Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs event.Im not sure Ill be able to play tomorrow, but Ill make that call at noon when my tee time is, Langer said Thursday. For right now, Ive been getting treatment and trying to stay off my knee.Simply, the decision will come down to whether the he can hit the ball.I tried yesterday and it didnt work, Langer said. I cant transfer my weight. I cant put any pressure on my left knee.The 59-year-old German star leads the 50-and-over tour with tour four victories and has wrapped up the season money title with $2,697,459.I had an MRI on Monday because I couldnt walk properly and just had problems, Langer said. Obviously, havent hit a shot yet, havent been out on the course. I walked it, but I havent hit a shot yet because I cant, I cant put much pressure on my knee. Walking these hills is very difficult, especially downhill.The top 72 players on the money list earned spot at Sherwood Country Club, the former site of Greg Normans Shark Shootout and Tiger Woods event that is now called the Hero World Challenge. The playoff field will be cut to 54 for the Dominion Charity Classic next week in Richmond, Virginia, and to 36 for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship the follow week in Scottsdale, Arizona.Each dollar earned in the first two events is worth two points and will be added to the regular season total. At the Charlees Schwab Championship, points will be reset so that the top five only have to win to capture the Charles Schwab Cup.ddddddddddddLanger has a big enough advantage over second-place Miguel Angel Jimenez that he would keep the lead event even if he doesnt play this week.I came all the way here from south Florida and committed to play, said Langer, a three-time Cup champion. But if Im going to do long term damage, the last thing I want to do is try and play and do further damage and then I cant play next week or the following week, which that would really be bad if I cant play the Schwab Cup. You know, the priority is to get my health. You cant play golf if youre not healthy. The game is hard enough when youre healthy, you dont need to be injured.Fred Couples is attempting to play after sitting out eight months with a back injury.Im honestly hoping to get through this, the 57-year-old Couples said. Its one of my favorite golf courses, so I found out last week that I was in the playoff. I havent played since February, so I thought, `You know, Ill commit. I hit balls on Friday before I committed and actually felt OK.John Daly qualified 70th. He has five top-25 finishes in 14 starts since turning 50.All of us old guys have seen this course a few times, so theres no home-field advantage, Daly said. Ive heard nothing but great things about the changes and everything.
