The New England Patriots brought the NFLs longest winning streak this season to Green Bay. Jabari Parker Jersey .They continued their cross-country road trip without it.Their 26-21 loss to the Packers in the matchup of top title contenders Sunday makes it more important to avoid a losing streak on the final leg of their journey.After the game, the Patriots flew to San Diego for Sunday nights meeting with the surging Chargers.If we see them again, you know where its at, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski said of a possible Super Bowl against the Packers, so, obviously, that would be cool. Not really thinking about that. ... Now we have to look forward, put it behind us and move on to San Diego.The Patriots and Broncos are both 9-3, but New England has the tiebreaker because it beat Denver. Theyre followed in the AFC by Cincinnati (8-3-1) and Indianapolis and San Diego (both 8-4).Keeping the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs before the Super Bowl in Glendale, Arizona, is critical for the Patriots. Theyre 6-0 this season at home and 3-3 on the road after Green Bay ended their seven-game winning streak.Right after the loss, the two most senior Patriots, quarterback Tom Brady and defensive tackle Vince Wilfork sat in front of Bradys locker and talked for a few minutes.It was a tougher loss to handle than their other two — 33-20 to Miami in the opener and 41-14 to Kansas City in their fourth game.This was a test against a team that had won six of its previous seven games and the Patriots came up short.The defence stopped the Packers inside the red zone four times, holding them to short field goals. But they let Green Bay keep the ball for 36 minutes, 35 seconds as the Packers converted 10 of their 17 third-down plays.That limited Bradys chances with an offence that kept the ball for just 23:25.We had a lot of opportunities to move the ball, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Monday in a conference call from San Diego. We missed a third-and-1 early in the game. We came up on a fourth-and-1 just short of the first down early in the game. We had a penalty to start the third quarter, so we ended up with some short drives which limited the number of plays that we ran.They would have had more if they had been able to get a first down on a third-and-9 from the Green Bay 20 with 3:25 left. But Brady was sacked for a 9-yard loss and Stephen Gostkowski missed a 47-yard field-goal attempt.They could have gotten the ball back after Green Bay had a third-and-4 at its 43 with 2:28 remaining. But Aaron Rodgers completed a 7-yard pass to a closely guarded Randall Cobb and the Packers ran out the clock.Thats where that saying comes in, Its a game of inches. It really is, Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis said. When youre playing against another great team, you have to be on point at all times, because any error can cost you. We probably had some errors today, and Im sure well get them corrected, but like I said, theres no room for errors.The Patriots were playing their third straight game against a division leader and had beaten each of the others by at least 22 points.Now the schedule gets easier with the remaining games against San Diego, Miami, the New York Jets and Buffalo.But the margin for error is smaller after the loss in Green Bay.This was a test for us. It was a big test, Revis said, and Im sure it was a big test for them, too. Its two great teams playing. So for it to go down to the wire like this, it was expected when youve got two great quarterbacks and two great teams going at it.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Giannis Antetokounmpo Jersey . -- Phil Hughes ended a personal losing streak that dated to last July, pitching into the seventh inning Sunday and helping the Twins top the Kansas City Royals 8-3 to avoid a three-game sweep.

However, they could be close. The team had second interviews with Los Angeles Clippers associate head coach Alvin Gentry and assistant Tyronn Lue on Friday, meetings that were expected to include Cavs owner Dan Gilbert. Gentry and Lue are among at least a dozen candidates contacted by the club since Brown was fired on May 12 following a 33-49 season, ending his second stint with the club. While Gentry and Lue appear to be the co-favourites to become Clevelands coach in three years, neither of them has been offered the job and the Cavs search will extend into next week. Cleveland has scheduled an interview with former Maccabi Tel Aviv coach David Blatt, who announced Thursday he was resigning from his job with the European champion to take a coaching job in the NBA. Blatt did not specify which team he was joining, but said he has not been offered the Cavs position. Blatt also has been approached by Golden State to be an assistant under new coach Steve Kerr. The 55-year-old Blatt was first contacted by the Cavs last week, but he has known new Cleveland general manager David Griffin for several years. Blatt is considered an offensive mastermind, and hes been on the radar of several NBA teams. He acknowledged his interest in returning to the U.S. -- he was born in Massachusetts and played at Princeton -- while leading Russia to a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics. Blatt said he was leaving Maccabi to "follow my dream." He led the club to a stunning upset over Real Madrid in the European Championships, a victory that touched off massive celebrations in Israel. If the Cavs decide to hire him, Cleveland fans would probably not have the same reaction because Blatt is unknown outside hoops circles and hed be an unconventional choice. Earlier this week, the team met with Charlootte assistant Mark Price, a four-time All-Star point guard in Cleveland who remains one of the most beloved players in franchise history. Spencer Hawes Jersey. Former Memphis coach Lionel Hollins, Bulls assistant Adrian Griffin, former Chicago coach Vinny Del Negro also had interviews with the club, but its not known if any of them will get a second look. Gilbert and Griffin understand the importance of landing the right coach as the Cavaliers enter a significant summer. The club owns the No. 1 overall pick in this months draft and the Cavs are in the process of evaluating the top college prospects. Kansas centre Joel Embiid visited Cleveland earlier this week and the Cavs gave him a thorough medical exam and worked out the 7-footer. Jayhawks forward Andrew Wiggins and Duke forward Jabari Parker are scheduled to meet with the Cavs next week. Embiid has been touted as a franchise-changing player, but there are medical concerns about the 18-year-old, who only started playing basketball a few years ago in his native Cameroon. He missed the NCAA tournament last season with a stress fracture in his lower back, and the Cavs wanted to make sure hes healthy before they considered taking him. The Cavs are not confirming player visits until the day they take place. And while they juggle the coaching search and various options with the top pick, including a trade, the Cavs must also decide whether to offer All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving a maximum, five-year contract extension next month. Irving has given mixed signals about his commitment to Cleveland, and it certainly hasnt helped that the Cavs have been in disarray since he arrived. The team was expected to get to the playoffs last season under Brown, who was fired for the first time four years ago by Gilbert. Maybe the next coach can not only inspire Irving, but get the Cavs back on track. First, though, theyve got to find him.
