| Foxboro, MA (MySportsbook) - New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison is listed as doubtful for the team's AFC Championship Game appearance against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Harrison has already missed both of the Patriots' previous playoff games with a knee injury. Harrison suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee after being blocked low by Tennessee's Bobby Wade in the Pats' regular season finale. The safety also missed six games earlier this season because of a broken should |

It was speculated that the 14-2 Chargers' 24-21 home loss to the New England Patriots, combined with a reportedly strained relationship between Schottenheimer and Smith, would lead to the end of the Schottenheimer era in San Diego. The loss to the Patriots was Schottenheimer's sixth straight playoff loss as a head coach, and the coac |

| (MySportsbook) - The San Diego Chargers found out the hard way what playing the New England Patriots in the postseason is all about. The Patriots are the best-coached team in the NFL, and one of the reasons they've won three of the last five Super Bowls is the fact that they never panic. After watching Sunday's Divisional Playoff game in San Diego, it's hard to say the same thing about the Chargers. New England rallied from an eight-point deficit in the final quarter to earn the 24-21 win and advance to the AFC |

Team president Dean Spanos is expected to make the final call on Schottenheimer's future, based on a recommendation by general manager A.J. Smith. It's not often that a coach is in danger of bein |

Someone always seems to make a big play at a critical time to help the New England Patriots win a game they have no business winning. Take Troy Brown, for instance, New England's 35-year-old wide receiver/defensive back/return man. Or Kevin Faulk, the Patriots' do-it-all running back. Or even Stephen Gostkowski, the rookie drafted to replace Adam Vinatieri, the NFL's best big-game kicker. All three came through for the Patriots in Sunday's 24-21 victory at San Diego that sent New England to the AFC title gam |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -Marty Schottenheimer may not get a chance to lose another playoff game, at least with the San Diego Chargers. The San Diego coach absorbed his sixth consecutive playoff defeat Sunday when the New England Patriots rallied for a 24-21 win over the mistake-prone Chargers. Schottenheimer has a year remaining on his contract, for more than $3 million, but his relationship with Chargers general manager A.J. Smith apparently has deteriorated recently. Asked if he plans to be back next year, the 63 |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -No ``Martyball'' in the Super Bowl again this year. San Diego coach Marty Schottenheimer absorbed his sixth consecutive playoff loss Sunday when the New England Patriots rallied for a 24-21 win over the Chargers. Not even league MVP LaDainian Tomlinson and Pro Bowl quarterback Phillip Rivers could prevent Schottenheimer's dreadful postseason record from sinking to 5-13 - with Cleveland, Kansas City and San Diego. The defeat was Schottenheimer's fourth with the conference's top-seeded team, |

On the field, Tom Brady was doing his thing, leading the New England Patriots to two late scores that stunned a boisterous throng of 68,810 into silence. Tomlinson still was sitting on his orange-and-white cooler, with nothing to think about other than what might have been. He did get one last chance, but it wasn't much o |
