FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Brandon Bolden figured hed have to make an impact on special teams with the New England Patriots after a solid career as a college running back.Undrafted rookies dont get the ball very often in the NFL.I was like, Hey Im an undrafted guy. Ive got to do whatever I can. So you need somebody to run down on punts? Hey, coach, I can do it. You need somebody to run down on kickoffs? Hey, coach I can do it, Bolden said Wednesday.His latest impact came when he crashed into San Diegos Mike Scifres after blocking a punt in the second quarter of New Englands 23-14 win Sunday night. Scifres broke his left clavicle on the play.I just timed it very well. I got off before anybody could even move and it turned out to be perfect, Bolden said. I got up under (the blocker) and the next thing you know, Im standing in front of the punter with his leg in the air. I said, I got to get this ball down.The Patriots took over at the Chargers 25 and scored four plays later on Tom Bradys 14-yard pass to Rob Gronkowski.The Patriots special teams have had several big plays as the team has navigated toward a 10-3 record and the top spot in the AFC.Chandler Jones blocked a field goal attempt against Minnesota and returned it 58 yards for a touchdown, while Bolden forced a fumble on a kickoff return against Cincinnati that was returned for a score. Aganst Detroit, an 81-yard kickoff return set up a touchdown run for LeGarrette Blount.It takes all 11 guys to make special teams work, Bolden said.Ryan Allen, who saw his first punt of the season blocked, on Wednesday was named AFC special teams player of the week.Its field position and all that plays a big part in the game, just like the blocked punt, Bolden said. Those times when we pin the team inside the 20 or inside the 10-yard line, thats a big momentum shift.Special teamers rarely get the recognition of offensive and defensive players. But Bolden learned the significance of that role when he joined the team in 2012 out of Mississippi and played on special teams with Matthew Slater, Julian Edelman and Danny Woodhead.I had those old guys in my ear, kind of just teaching me along the way, Bolden said, and here I am today.Slater has made three Pro Bowls as a special teams player. And Bolden saw it wasnt the end of the line when Edelman became one of the NFLs top receivers and Woodhead contributed at running back.I was following those guys trails, Bolden said, like, hey, you know what, this is not that bad. I could hang around. I could run around for a few plays not with the ball in my hand.Boldens offensive opportunities have diminished. In 2012, he rushed for 274 yards. Last year, he rushed for 271 yards and caught 21 passes. This season, he has just 41 yards rushing and two receptions.But special teamers make plays that cant be measured in numbers — fighting off two-on-one blocks, forcing fumbles and beating a lineman off the snap to block a punt.In talking with opponents and with teammates who have played elsewhere, Bolden learned that not all special team players are as dedicated as those on the Patriots.Some guys just dont want it as bad on other teams, he said, but here, this group, we want it just as bad as offence and defence.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Jordan 13 Shoes For Sale Online .

The Goldeyes (10-7) lost 4-1 to the Saltdogs (8-9) Sunday afternoon before 5,834 sizzling fans at Shaw Park. The loss drops Winnipegs record to 3-4 during this past weeks seven-game homestand.WINNIPEG -- Marian Hossa celebrated his return to the lineup with the winner in the third period Thursday night as his Chicago Blackhawks stumbled but didnt fall and downed the Winnipeg Jets 6-3. Patrick Kane, Brandon Saad, Jonathan Toews and Ben Smith also scored for Chicago (15-4-4), who have won all three of their games against the Jets this season. Patrick Sharp had an empty netter to end the game. Andrew Ladd, Keaton Ellerby and Dustin Byfuglien scored for the Jets (10-11-3). The first period was all Blackhawks, who seldom let the Jets have the puck. Jets fans picked Chicagos Kane as a target for their boos but he responded with a power-play goal late in the period, thanks to a tripping penalty awarded to Winnipegs Evander Kane. After stopping a lot of pucks, Ondrej Pavelec didnt get much of a look at the shot through heavy traffic in front of the Winnipeg net. The Jets were outshot 12-2 in the period. Saads one-timer from the slot made it 2-0 just over three minutes into the second. But then the game took sharp left turn for the Hawks, as the Jets scored two goals in 29 seconds to tie it up. Bryan Little fed Ladd, whose wrist shot beat Corey Crawfords glove hand at 3:22, and Ellerby used Winnipegs first power play of the game to score his first as a Jet from the point at 3:51. Toews put the Blackhawks back in the lead with a 4-on-4 goal just past the 11-minute mark, beating out defenceman Toby Enstrom and slipping the puck past Pavelec from the side of the crease. But the Hawks then served up a 5-on-3 opportunity that Byyfuglien cashed in at 13:30, with Winnipegs third shot on Crawford within seconds, to even it up again.dddddddddddd The shots told the story in the second, with the Jets ahead 14-8. Hossa, who was sidelined for a few games with an injury, put the Blackhawks ahead at 3:11 of the third when he outplayed Ellerby while swinging past the Jets net, slipping the puck through a very small hole left by Pavelec as he moved to cover. Smith raced in to bang in a rebound for some insurance at 5:22 to make it 5-3. A Winnipeg radio station had been urging fans to wear helmets to the game in response to a Chicago fan who stole Adam Pardys after the Jets defenceman was checked through the glass at the United Center on Nov. 6. But the Jets didnt like the idea and told fans they wouldnt get in if their showed up with helmets on Thursday night. There was a heavy police presence at the game but it wasnt because of the rivalry between the two Central Division teams. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in attendance. Notes: The Jets and Blackhawks play once more, Jan. 26 in Chicago...Its a small league: Andrew Ladd and Dustin Byfuglien played for the Blackhawks and Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff was assistant GM when Chicago won a Stanley Cup in 2010. Michael Frolik was with the Blackhawks when they won the Cup last season. Chicago captain Jonathan Toews was born in Winnipeg and original Jets goalie Nikolai Khabibulin, who went with the team when it moved to Phoenix in 1996, still plays for the Blackhawks, although hes out right now with a lower-body injury.
