The Seattle Seahawks look at their small sample of shortcomings and figure things will turn around.While the Seahawks have room for error, that has just about expired for the Carolina Panthers.When the teams meet Sunday night in Seattle, it nearly qualifies as a must-win situation for Carolina, which is running out of second chances.Well just keep fighting, keep playing, Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said. Now we still have an opportunity. Well see what happens. Theres no reason for us to look any other way, but theres a glimmer of hope. Thats all you need sometimes.The Seahawks (7-3-1) are coming off a puzzling 14-5 loss at Tampa Bay. Despite the setback, theres no sign of panic from the Seattle side.Im not worried about it a bit, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said. Not one bit. Lets go back to work and get right. ... I dont think this is a trend. Well get this thing fixed.Seattle holds first place in an otherwise weak NFC West. Carolina (4-7) occupies last place in the NFC South, though that division isnt exactly a powerful group.We are just trying to win a game, Panthers tight end Greg Olsen said. We will let all that sort itself out.The Panthers remained on the West Coast following Sundays 35-32 loss at Oakland. Theyve held practices at San Jose State before heading to Seattle.Even with that, there have been significant developments. Center Ryan Kalil (shoulder) and his backup, Gino Gradkowski (knee), were placed on injured reserve. To replace them, the Panthers signed free-agent center Ryan Wendell and added tackle Dan France from the Cleveland Browns practice squad.The health of this football team is very frustrating, Rivera said.Wendell played seven seasons with the New England Patriots from 2009-15, starting 49 regular-season games and seven postseason contests.Kalil, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, started all eight games he played this season, but missed three contests with the shoulder injury.The Panthers also signed offensive tackles Tyrus Thompson and Jake Rodgers to the practice squad.Its probably a positive thing that we arent traveling back to the East Coast, said Carolinas A.J. Klein, who was the primary replacement for All-Pro linebacker Luke Kuechly last week.Klein noted the need to recharge after the last outing. While its unclear if Kuechly will be available after suffering an apparent concussion Nov. 17, the encouraging aspect was that he traveled with the Panthers to the West Coast and was on the sideline (though not in uniform) for the Oakland game.Also among those on Carolinas injury list as late as Wednesday were safety Kurt Coleman (head) and receiver Kelvin Benjamin (shoulder).The Seahawks have roster movement as well.Linebacker Mike Morgan (sports hernia) should be back after sitting out on injured reserve, while the status of Michael Bennett, who has been out five weeks with a knee injury, remains in question. The Seahawks have used four players to start in Morgans spot at strong-side linebacker during his absence.Safety Earl Thomas will apparently play after he wasnt listed on Fridays injury report.Dont expect major changes to how the Seahawks operate even following a loss.Im going to go with what we know and how we know to be, Carroll said. Well get back on track.The Seahawks are 5-0 at home, though three of Seattles home victories have come by six points or less. While the Seahawks have been far from dominant at CenturyLink Field, it will be another hostile environment for the Panthers.This is why you come into the league, to play these type of games, Carolina quarterback Cam Newton said.The nature of close defeats is wearing on the Panthers.Now its five games where youve lost virtually in the last few minutes, Rivera said. Its frustrating, but thats the nature of this game.Despite the Seahawks sluggish offense from time to time, theyre continuing to find different ways to move the ball. Quarterback Russell Wilsons running ability is something that Carroll said has been encouraging as Seattle heads into the Carolina game.Wilson has kept his normal unwavering demeanor for the most part.Its pretty simple, Wilson said, weve just got to find ways to make plays and we will. We have before.This will mark the seventh meeting during a five-season span as the teams met in the postseason each of the last two seasons.In last Januarys divisional playoff round, Carolina scored the first 31 points and held on for a 31-24 victory.

Custom Boston Red Sox Jerseys . PETERSBURG, Fla. CINCINNATI -- Bengals cornerback Adam Jones didnt even hesitate once he saw the group of reporters near his locker.I aint talking about Pittsburgh, Jones said.It must be Steelers week.Last year, the Bengals and Steelers couldnt stop talking about each other. But now that the AFC North rivals are set to face off again on Sunday, the Bengals arent intersted in adding any fuel to the fire.The two teams last met in the AFC wild-card game in January, a chaotic, physical game (Bengals running back?Giovani Bernard and Steelers wide receiver?Antonio Brown were both knocked out with concussions) that descended into madness in the final two minutes. As the regular season has drawn near, the Bengals have been more and more reluctant to discuss the game.Now they arent saying anything at all.Bengals coach Marvin Lewis was happy to answer questions regarding the Steelers current team. But when asked on Monday about anything regarding the last meeting, he had only one thing to say.New team, new season, new year, Lewis said.He repeated the phrase for three straight Pittsburgh-related questions.With the way the rivalry has ramped up in its intensity lately, its no surprise the Bengals are choosing every word carefully.From trash talking and threats on social media to pregame scrums, the rivalry has morphed from general AFC North animosity into something bigger.That was all on display in their last meeting, and both teams received their share of scorn from pundits for their actions in a game that resulted in more than $80,000 in fines for both teams.There is an intensity there that is bordering on lunacy, former Bengals quarterback and CBS analyst Boomer Esiason told the Cincinnati Enquirer.ddddddddddddhe wild-card game seemed sealed after Bengals linebacker?Vontaze Burficts interception with two minutes left, but a fumble by running back?Jeremy Hill gave the ball back to the Steelers on the next play. Burfict went from the savior of the game to one of the goats after he was flagged for unnecessary roughness for a hit on Brown that gave Brown a concussion.The next minute escalated from there.Burfict put a hand on Browns shoulder and appeared to attempt to say something to him before a Steelers athletic trainer shoved his hand away and into the face of Steelers assistant coach Joey Porter. Burfict later told ESPN that Porter wasnt saying anything negative, but Jones, seeing Porter -- known as a trash talker -- came over to defend Burfict. Jones was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct while arguing with Porter and the Steelers, who were then within easy field goal range and made the game-winning kick.Jones was later seen crying on the sidelines after the emotional loss.The NFL later changed the rules to make it a penalty for assistant coaches to be on the field. Burfict was suspended for three games following his hit on Brown for repeated player safety violations. Brown made his feelings clear when asked about Burfict when he described him as an idiot on the Dan Patrick Show later that offseason.Perhaps the Bengals feel there has been enough talking after two straight losses to the Steelers. Their locker room is remaining silent.At least for now. ' ' '
