move within a half-game of Baltimore and the Yankees

PHOENIX - While Russell Wilson was throwing interceptions in the NFC championship game, punter Jon Ryan kick-started Seattles rally with his arm.Could the Seahawks try another fake field goal against New England in the Super Bowl?This overall arching thought that once a trick play has happened that you cant do another one, I dont think thats the way it is, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said.We try to pull it off at the time when it works out right for us and we can take the most advantage of it and we always have to be on the lookout, we always have to be attentive to it.The Seahawks were trailing the Green Bay Packers 16-0 in the conference title game when Ryan set up to hold for Steven Hauschkas field goal attempt.But Ryan pulled the ball away on Hauschkas follow-through. He scrambled to his left, drew the defence in and lobbed a 19-yard TD pass to offensive lineman Garry Gilliam.It might have been a little bit of a spark that we needed, Ryan said. We hadnt scored up until that point. As it turns out, we kind of turned it around from there.The Seahawks got another big play on special teams when they recovered an onside kick with just over 2 minutes left in regulation to set up a go-ahead TD.Wilson overcame four interceptions and threw a TD pass to Jermaine Kearse in overtime to give the Seahawks a chance to win their second straight Super Bowl.Whether its another fake, a long return or a last-second kick, special teams could determine who wins Sunday. Both the Seahawks and Patriots have returners who can go the distance and players who can impact the game in other areas.Heres a look at key special teamers on both clubs:STEPHEN GOSTKOWSKI: The Patriots won two Super Bowls on last-second field goals by Adam Vinatieri a decade ago. Gostkowski, a three-time Pro Bowl pick, is quite capable of doing the same. Gostkowski is coming off his best season, converting 94.6 per cent (35 for 37) of his field goals.Its a big deal, but to me its just a game and its a game that I want to win, Gostkowski said. I never like to lose. Im very competitive and I have a chance to be a champion. Ive gotten close twice and it didnt work out for us. Hopefully third time is the charm.STEVEN HAUSCHKA: Hauschka missed six of 37 field goals this season, and is 0 for 3 in three games at University of Phoenix Stadium. He grew up a Patriots fan and his favourite player was Vinatieri.You honestly dont have to think much at all this week, Hauschka said. The key is just to go out there and let your body do what it wants to do. I know how to swing, and no mental thoughts are going to make me swing better right now.JON RYAN: Ryan proved he can pass, but hes good at his primary job. Ryan had a net average of 38.3 yards and dropped 28 punts inside the 20.RYAN ALLEN: Allen had a net average of 39.9 per punt two straight years and 25 of his punts this season fell inside the 20.JULIAN EDELMAN: Edelman has four career TDs on punt returns, including an 84-yard score in New Englands win over Denver in November.Special teams are one-third of the game, Edelman said. Anytime you have an explosion play in special teams, whether its a kickoff return, punt return, good coverage, all of those types of things give momentum to a team and percentages of winning the game go out the roof when those kinds of things happen.BRYAN WALTERS: Walters averaged 7.7 yards per return for Seattle and his longest was 21 yards.DANNY AMENDOLA: Amendola averaged 24.1 yards per kick return for New England this season. His longest return was 81 yards against Denver, though he didnt score.DOUG BALDWIN: Baldwin became Seattles primary kick returner after Paul Richardson tore his ACL. Baldwin fumbled in the NFC title game and only has 16 kick returns in his career. He ran one back 69 yards in the playoffs last season.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_RobMaaddi Tre Boston Jersey . -- Isaiah Pead took a stutter step forward, then raced to the left sideline and travelled 60 yards up the field before finally getting tripped up by a leg tackle.

Eighth-inning doubles by Kevin Pillar and Jose Reyes produced the go-ahead run. Doubles by Anthony Gose and Brett Lawrie also played roles in runs. Jose Bautista opened the scoring with a first-inning home run. Toronto has won four straight and 10 of its last 14 to move within a half-game of Baltimore and the Yankees for first-place in the AL East. "Weve got a quality team," said Bautista, who had two hits and reached base in all five plate appearances. "When we execute like we have the last couple of games, we do well. "We have a lot of guys who have been around and have had success. We have to keep coming out and executing." Right-hander Steve Delabar (3-0) retired four straight, including striking out the side in the eighth, to earn the victory. The save by right-hander Casey Janssen was his third of the season and 19th straight in save situations going back to last year. Bautistas homer was his 179th with Toronto, tying him with Jesse Barfield for fifth place in club history. The Blue Jays broke a 1-1 tie in the seventh when Gose, a speedster called up Thursday from Triple-A Buffalo when Colby Rasmus went on the disabled list, led off by legging out a double to left, stole third and scored on Melky Cabreras chopper to third. "He wants to be here, and hes showing he belongs," Jays manager John Gibbons said of Gose. "Guys who do what he does constantly put pressure on the opponent." Jays starter Mark Buehrle was denied his major league-leading eighth victory. He allowed two runs over 6 2-3 innings. His ERA rose to 2.11 and his road ERA went up to 1.dddddddddddd00. Buehrle had six assists, many of which had teammates telling him he threw harder to first base. "I dont know if I say in my mind I know Ive got to kind of let it loose," Buehrle said. Pillar hit a cue shot down the right-field line off left-handed reliever Neal Cotts (1-3). Reyes two-out dunker into right off Cotts scored Pillar. Texas has lost four straight and six of its last seven to fall seven games behind first-place Oakland in the AL West. Michael Choices third-inning RBI single to left tied the score and ended Texas scoreless streak at 15 innings. "Ive been through struggles as a player, as a coach and as a manager," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "I have to lead and come out positive every day." Texas starter Robbie Ross lasted only 4 1-3 innings. In the Rangers last 18 games, they have gotten three quality starts -- all from Yu Darvish. Rangers first baseman Prince Fielder sat out with a herniated disk in his neck, ending his consecutive games streak at 547. Fielder received a nerve-root injection on Saturday morning to alleviate pain that he has felt since last season and, according to Texas general manager Jon Daniels, causing weakness in his left arm. The Rangers hope Fielder can return to the lineup on Tuesday. One of the 13 Rangers currently on the disabled list, left-hander Martin Perez, confirmed before the game that he will undergo Tommy John surgery on Monday.
