FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- His arms finally free, Rob Gronkowski clapped when he saw the yellow flag in the end zone. The Patriots would have one more chance to win. Seconds later, that chance was lost. One day later, Bill Belichick wouldnt discuss the officials decision to wave off a penalty on the final play when Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly wrapped his arms around Gronkowski as Tom Bradys pass sailed toward them. There was nothing New Englands coach could do about the 24-20 loss to the Panthers on Monday night. Better to focus on his second straight prime-time challenge coming up Sunday night against the Denver Broncos. "I dont really have any comment to add about the officiating or any of those calls," Belichick said during a conference call Tuesday. "If you have any questions on that, you can talk to the league office and the officiating department. Let them give their explanation." Or you can listen to Patriots defensive end Rob Ninkovich. "Both arms are being wrapped around the receiver as the balls in the air," he said on WEEI radio. "A fouls a foul. No matter what it is, the balls there. Its not like the balls 20 feet over his head or it lands on the 5-yard line or something." With the ball at the Carolina 18 and a lineman bearing down on him, Brady didnt step into the throw as he usually does. The underthrown pass was intercepted by Robert Lester about 4 yards into the end zone. Gronkowski, a few yards behind Lester, couldnt move toward the ball with Kuechly bear-hugging him. Referee Clete Blakeman conferred for a few seconds with back judge Terrence Miles, who threw the flag. Miles shook his head. Then Blakeman said there was no foul and the game was over. Later, Blakeman told two pool reporters that Miles had called defensive pass interference but the ball was uncatchable. Gronkowskis elation was gone. Bradys anger was visible as he talked to Blakeman while leaving the field. Dean Blandino, the NFLs vice-president of officiating, said he "wouldnt say" the officials were wrong for not penalizing the Panthers for pass interference. "They determined that in their judgment the contact occurred simultaneous with the ball being intercepted and thats why the officials did what they did," Blandino said on NFL Network. "Once the ball is touched you cannot have pass interference." Even if the penalty stood, the ball would have been placed at the 1 and the Patriots still would have needed a touchdown. "I dont make the calls or the rules," Brady said. "I wish it wouldnt have come down to that. I think there were plenty of plays we couldve made." The Patriots (7-3) will have to make a lot more of them against the Broncos (9-1), the NFLs highest-scoring team, and Peyton Manning, who leads the league with 34 touchdown passes in 10 games. "I think Peyton Manning just gets better every year," Patriots defensive co-ordinator Matt Patricia said. "He just understands what the defence is, what coverage hes getting, and puts the ball where he needs to put it." So with a short week of practice, Belichick didnt want to waste time dwelling on the disputed play. "Its not really our job to call the game. Its to play it and coach it. Whatever calls they make are the ones that we live with," he said. "We have to turn the page here quickly, get on to Denver. Good football team, playing well. Obviously, their record reflects that." The Broncos are averaging 39.8 points, 16 more than the Panthers and 14 more than the Patriots. New Englands defence is battered with five starters missing Monday nights game, three of them out for the season. And the Patriots have one fewer day than usual to prepare. "It will be a challenging week, but every week in the NFL is challenging," Belichick said. "Well just take the time and the opportunity that we have and try to make the most of it." Coming off a bye week, the Patriots had plenty of time to prepare for the Panthers (7-3). But their only lead, 20-17, came on Stephen Gostkowskis 26-yard field goal with 6:32 left. The Panthers went ahead with 59 seconds remaining on Cam Newtons 25-yard pass to Ted Ginn Jr. Then Brady threw 11 passes to get the ball to the Carolina 18 with 3 seconds to go. Enough time for one play -- and one controversy. Carolina coach Ron Rivera said Tuesday he would have been upset if his receiver had been held in that situation. "No doubt about it," he said, but "no matter how much people talk about it and rehash it, its not going to change." The Patriots know that. "Any time you go on the road against a tough opponent, youre going to have adversity. That call at the end of the game is a big call to make," running back Stevan Ridley said. "We just have to move on." Los Angeles Dodgers Jerseys .

Custom Los Angeles Dodgers Jerseys .com) - The Eastern Conferences best team takes on one of its worst Tuesday night when the Atlanta Hawks pay a visit to the Wells Fargo Center to take on the Philadelphia 76ers.OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels are playing their best baseball of the season, setting career highs and beating first-place opponents. This is one September surge that just came too late. C.J. Wilson pitched seven innings of four-hit ball for his career-best 17th win, and the Angels became the first team in nearly four months to beat Jarrod Parker in a 12-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Monday night. "Were just going to try to throw a wrench in the works to keep everybody on the edge of their toes," Wilson said. "Its good television when the season comes down to the last weekend." Kole Calhoun had two of his three RBIs during a five-run fifth inning that chased Parker (11-7), who was 9-0 in 19 starts since a loss at Texas on May 22. It was the longest unbeaten streak by an As starting pitcher since Hall of Famer Lefty Grove went 21 in a row in 1931. Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo each hit a towering, two-run homer in the eighth. Wilson (17-6) struck out six and walked three. He extended his career-best winning streak to nine and is unbeaten in his last 13 starts. Los Angeles has won nine of 12 and 18 of 24. But with two weeks left in the regular season, the Angels are 15 games behind the first-place As in the AL West. "Theres no doubt this year has filled us with a lot of frustration," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "This last month gives us a lot of hope looking forward to some of our kids that are playing well, some of the things weve been looking to take place and be in place during the season." Oakland, coming off a three-game sweep at Texas that stretched its division lead to 6 1/2 games, is still in a strong position to win the AL West for the second consecutive year. The Rangers lost 6-2 at Tampa Bay earlier Monday, keeping the As lead intact. Parker had been a strong and steady force at the top of the rotation since starting 0-4 this season. He was scratched from his start at Texas on Sunday because of an illness that had him vomiting and trying to rehydrate, he said, and he never looked comfortable on the mound back in Oakland. Parker gave up eight hits and eight runs -- seven earned -- in 4 1-3 innings. He struck out three and walked two. The winning streak was the longest by an Oakland pitcher since Dan Haren rolled off 10 inn a row in 2007.dddddddddddd Grove also made 10 relief appearances -- losing once -- for the Philadelphia Athletics during his 21-start unbeaten streak in 1931. "I can either dwell on it or move on," Parker said. "Early in the game it felt like forever since Ive been out there. It wasnt very good execution. Not very many of my pitches were down in the zone, not even my off-speed stuff." Calhoun and Josh Hamilton hit RBI singles in the first inning off Parker. In the third, second baseman Alberto Callaspo -- traded by the Angels in July -- had Hamiltons liner bounce off his glove and into centre for an error. Fill-in shortstop Andy Parrino bobbled a grounder on a potential double play, getting only the out at second as Howie Kendrick scored and the Angels took a 3-0 lead. Los Angeles sent 10 batters to the plate and scored five runs in the fifth to put the game out of reach. Trout hit his 24th home run and Trumbo his 34th this season off Pedro Figueroa in the eighth. Trouts homer glanced off a luxury box window in centre field. Initial estimates ranged from 420-460 feet by various trackers, though many Angels thought the ball cleared 500 feet. "What is that, yards, meters?" Wilson joked. "It bounced back 420 feet maybe," Scioscia said. Trout said it was the farthest ball hed hit all season. "I really didnt even feel that one off the bat," he said. Derek Norris RBI single in the sixth accounted for Oaklands lone run against Wilson. The lefty hasnt lost since July 5 at Boston. Yoenis Cespedes returned to the As lineup after he was scratched Sunday because of a sore right shoulder. He was 2 for 3 as the designated hitter. Oakland shortstop Jed Lowrie sat out with tightness in his right hamstring. Manager Bob Melvin said Lowrie likely would be back in the lineup Tuesday. NOTES: Calhoun has 23 RBIs in his last 22 games. ... As reliever Dan Otero missed the game after his wife, Tiffany, gave birth to daughter Kinsley Lynn Otero at 2:54 a.m. on Monday. ... Sonny Gray was set to start if Parker needed another day to rest. Instead, Gray (3-3, 2.63 ERA) will start Tuesday and A.J. Griffin (14-9, 3.81) will go Wednesday. RHP Garrett Richards (7-6, 3.91) will start for the Angels on Tuesday and lefty Jason Vargas (8-7, 4.20) on Wednesday. ' ' '
