. Rockies OF-INF Michael Cuddyer missed a second straight game

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Once Tom Brady gets their offence rolling, the New England Patriots are tough to stop.Some of the NFLs top teams — Denver, Detroit, Cincinnati and Indianapolis — all lost to the AFC champions by at least 22 points.Now the Patriots are in the Super Bowl against the defending champion Seattle Seahawks, whose four losses were by a total of 22 points.This is an incredible defensive unit, Patriots offensive co-ordinator Josh McDaniels said. They can take the ball away from you. They can get to the quarterback. They can stop the run. It will be an incredible challenge.The Seahawks, with the NFLs best defence, could stage their second straight Super Bowl blowout, having beaten the Broncos 43-8 last year.Pretty close to the Patriots 45-7 pasting of the Colts in last Sundays AFC title game.It feels great to impose your will on a team, wide receiver Brandon LaFell said in a clubhouse filled with smiles, and thats what we did all night.The route to the Super Bowl on Feb. 1 takes the Patriots to Glendale, Arizona, where theyll try for their fourth NFL title and first in 10 years.The coaches prepare us for whatever we need to get the win, said fullback James Develin.Even if it involves him catching a 1-yard touchdown pass, his 11th reception in 37 NFL games, as he did Sunday.Or offensive tackle Nate Solder being eligible in that game to catch a 16-yard scoring pass, the first reception in his four seasons.Or having backup offensive lineman Cameron Fleming line up as an eligible receiver nearly 30 times against Indianapolis.I certainly think its been a staple of our team that when we need a play, different guys have stepped up all year long and weve been able to produce points to win games, said special teams captain Matthew Slater. Its not how you get those points. Its just having them.And theyve had plenty.In consecutive games, the Patriots beat Cincinnati 43-17 and Buffalo 37-22.After a 27-25 squeaker over the New York Jets, the runaways resumed — 51-23 over Chicago, 43-21 over Denver, 42-20 over Indianapolis and 34-9 over Detroit.In those 20-plus point wins, the Patriots scored on their first six possessions against Chicago, three of their first four of the second half against Denver, all four of the second half against Indianapolis before running out the clock and four in a row to end the first half against Detroit.Its not realistic for us to expect to continue to blow teams out like that, or, I dont want to say blow out, but win by a large margin, Slater said after beating the Lions. I cant really put my finger on what it is. I think its a culmination of things and preparation, I think, is at the forefront of that.In the next six games, there was just one trouncing, 41-13 over Miami.That was nearly the last one — until they overcame two 14-point deficits to beat the Baltimore Ravens 35-31 in the AFC championship game.That narrow victory gave them a chance for a bigger one.The Colts were about to be crushed again.Leading 17-7 at halftime, the Patriots scored touchdowns on their first four possessions of the second half and had their eighth win of the season by at least 22 points.Wide receiver Julian Edelman credited the coaches for the teams offensive rhythm.They scheme up the plays, he said. They go with what the feel is.The high-scoring roll began with a 43-17 win over Cincinnati the week after a 41-14 drubbing by Kansas City left the Patriots at 2-2. Beating the Bengals launched them on a 7-1 run with five of those games against playoff teams.It seemed like every team was at the top of their division and playing really well. In the end, it probably served us well, coach Bill Belichick said. It was a very competitive schedule. Our guys had to prepare and work really hard every week to be ready for those challenges. They did that.Now theres just one left.There are 32 teams that started. There are two remaining, Brady said. Were trying to be the one that finishes off the season the way you want to.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Josh Sweat Eagles Jersey .J.

It was the most lopsided loss in Lakers history. Darren Collison had a team-high 24 points while starting at shooting guard for the injured Jamal Crawford. Chris Paul added 13 points and 11 assists for the Clippers, who apparently are trying to make up for decades of humiliation at the hands of the Lakers all in one season; theyve won the last two meetings by a combined 84 points.DENVER -- Initially inserted into the Colorado Rockies rotation as a stop-gap injury replacement, Jordan Lyles has rapidly become a fixture. Lyles pitched effectively into the eighth inning for his third straight win, Justin Morneau hit a two-run homer, and the Rockies beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-1 Saturday night. "Hes really given us a lift in that rotation," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said of Lyles. He originally was slated to begin the season at Triple-A Colorado Springs but wound up filling in for Tyler Chatwood after he strained a hamstring late in spring training. "The biggest factor is his two-seamer," Weiss added. "Its something he worked on all spring, his fastball angle and pitching to the bottom of the zone, and you could see those guys beating it into the ground. Hes a mentally tough kid. He competes. He goes after hitters. Hes been great." Lyles (3-0), acquired in December from Houston in exchange for outfielder Dexter Fowler, allowed one unearned run and five hits in seven innings. LaTroy Hawkins pitched a hitless ninth for his fifth save in five chances. "As a visitor, it wasnt fun, knowing youre coming here." Lyles said. "Balls seem to carry a little further here but guys (pitchers) try to keep the ball on the ground and they cant hit it over if they hit the top of the ball. Thats my approach and just try to let our great infield do their job." The Rockies were also helped by a reversed call that produced their first run. The game was delayed briefly a couple of times when a squirrel wandered on and off the field. The animal was eventually corraled by groundskeepers and taken away. Kyle Kendrick (0-2) went seven innings and allowed three runs on six hits in a solid outing but could not avoid a seventh straight loss, dating to last Aug. 11. The last Phillies pitcher to have a losing streak of seven games or more was reliever Brad Lidge, who lost eight in a row over 57 appearances from April 18-Sept. 23, 2009. "Made a mistake to Morneau," Kendrick said. "That first run. It was a replay. I guess thats why we have it, but its frustrating when it doesnt go (your way)." Colorado got on the scoreboard when home plate umpire and crew chief Tim Welke ruled Nolan Arenado safe on a bang-bang play at the plate in the third after initially calling him out. Weiss asked Welkee to take another look at the play, and after viewing the replay, the umpire determined that catcher Carlos Ruiz had blocked the plate before he received the throw home in violation of new collision rules instituted this season to better protect catchers and base runners.dddddddddddd Arenado scored from first on D.J. LeMahieus single that rolled through the right-centre gap. The reversal went into the books as a crew chief review rather than a managers challenge. "Its amazing how that one rule changes the game, kind of," Arenado said. "Fortunately enough, it benefited us and I guess when youre on the other side, its probably going to rub you the wrong way a little bit." Carlos Gonzalez opened the fourth with a single and Morneau drove a 1-1 pitch from Kendrick into the right field bleachers above the scoreboard for his third homer of the season to make it 3-0. The Phillies didnt get on the board until the eighth. Lyles gave up a leadoff single to Cody Asche and was relieved by Boone Logan. Pinch-hitter John Mayberry Jr. reached on Logans throwing error, with Asche moving to second. Logan then retired the next three batters, giving up a run on Jimmy Rollins grounder and striking out Chase Utley with Mayberry on second base to end the inning. Philadelphia has only scored three runs in its last four games. "Youre going to go through ruts in the season," Kendrick said. "You want to get out of it as quick as you can. Hopefully tomorrow we can swing it and score some runs. Things can turn quick." NOTES: The Phillies selected the contract of RHP Shawn Camp from Triple A Lehigh Valley, filling the roster spot of RHP Jonathan Pettibone, who was optioned to Lehigh Valley the night before. The Phillies will have to make another roster move when LHP Cole Hamels (left biceps tendinitis) is expected to be reinstated from the disabled list in time to start Wednedays game at Los Angeles. Hamels is one win shy of 100 for his career. ... Rockies OF-INF Michael Cuddyer missed a second straight game with a sore left hamstring. He remains day to day. ... Arenados leadoff single in the third inning extended his hitting streak to 10 games, matching a career best. ... RHP Roberto Hernandez (1-0) is slated to start Sundays series finale for the Phillies against Rockies RHP Juan Nicasio (2-0).
