CHANDLER, Ariz. - The road to perfection reached a dead end in the Arizona desert. Now the New England Patriots are back where a Super Bowl championship — and an unbeaten record — barely eluded them seven years ago.Not that they dwell on their return to the place where the best season in NFL history slipped from their grasp.Its not where we play, its how we play, Tom Brady said Wednesday, and Im glad were here with the opportunity to do something really special.A win Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks would even the Patriots record in Super Bowls at University of Phoenix Stadium at 1-1. New England is seeking a championship, not closure for its 17-14 loss to the New York Giants in 2008.Im sure it will be a cool story if we win, saying we came back to the same place, kicker Stephen Gostkowski said, but I dont think about that stuff. Im just looking to make the first kick that they send me out for.So when a receiver leaps for a pass at the opponents 23-yard line, dont expect the Patriots to have flashbacks to David Tyree trapping the ball against his helmet at that spot with Rodney Harrison draped over him.That 32-yard completion with just over a minute left, after Eli Manning kept the play alive by breaking free with defensive end Richard Seymour tugging at his jersey, set up the winning 13-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress.It took Patriots players a long time to get over how close they came to a 19-0 record. Then coach Bill Belichick met with his assistants.One day Bill walks in, running backs coach Ivan Fears said. He says, we got to move on guys, start smiling.Its a cornerstone of Belichicks philosophy. Lamenting misfortunes leads to more of them, Fears said.Fears, offensive co-ordinator Josh McDaniels and defensive co-ordinator Matt Patricia remain from the staff at the 2008 Super Bowl. Brady, Gostkowski and defensive tackle Vince Wilfork are the only players from that game still on the Patriots.It was a heartbreaker, Gostkowski said, but weve already played in (and lost) another Super Bowl since then, so I dont even sweat that. I have two kids and a wife and two dogs, and I didnt have any of that seven years ago. So life has changed a lot since then.The Patriots are staying in a different hotel, meeting in different rooms and practicing at a different site than in 2008. The retractable roof on the stadium was closed for that game. The current plan is to have it open Sunday.Everything is different, McDaniels said. That was a great season and we were trying to obviously win an incredible game and the Giants made one more play than we did. But I dont think that has anything to do with this week.The Patriots have made repeat visits to Super Bowl stadiums before. They lost the 1986 and 1997 games in New Orleans before winning there in 2002. But they had different coaches in each game, Raymond Berry then Bill Parcells then Belichick.Now Belichick is preparing for his sixth Super Bowl with the Patriots in his 15 years as their coach. Hes a football historian who prefers not to consider his place in it during the season.His coaching philosophy, he said, is to try to give the players a good plan and opportunity to play, to put them in a position that theyre able to be competitive and be aggressive and let the players play. I mean, theyre the ones that have won our games.Whether theyre playing in a city where theyve won Super Bowls — New Orleans, Houston and Jacksonville — or lost them.Safety Devin McCourty was playing at Rutgers when the Patriots lost the Super Bowl in Glendale. He admitted, with a shy smile, that he was rooting for the Giants.But he appreciated what the Patriots accomplished.I think every football fan saw the great things they did that whole year, McCourty said. It would have been incredible if they would have pulled that off and had a perfect season.Now hes one of 50 Patriots players who werent on the team then.This is a different team and we dont look in the past, Wilfork said. We never look back at the games weve lost or won in the Super Bowl.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Custom Philadelphia Eagles Jerseys .

Trout ended up with an RBI double and Garrett Richards had another impressive outing, leading the Angels over the Oakland Athletics 4-1 Monday night for their fourth straight victory. The Angels pulled within 3 1/2 games of the As in the division. Oakland manager Bob Melvin challenged first base umpire Bob Davidsons home run call on Trouts towering drive to right field in the fifth inning, believing the ball was touched by a fan at the top of the 18-foot wall. After the call was overturned, Scioscia came out to argue and was ejected by Davidson. "I dont know how they overturned the home run. That ball was over the yellow line when it hit that guys glove. Theres no doubt," Scioscia said. "I dont know what they saw in New York -- and thats part of the frustration that I have with this whole system. Theres no way thats indisputable evidence that that was not a home run." Trout was running too hard to notice what happened. "I really didnt think I got enough of it to go out. I was thinking three bases the whole time," he said. "Running around second, I thought it hit high off the wall so I just put my head down and was busting it to third." Trouts only hit of the game drove in Hank Conger, who had bunted his way on and continued to second on the first of three throwing errors by third baseman Josh Donaldson -- two of which led to unearned runs. "Its just one of those things where it just kept building," Donaldson said. Richards (6-2) allowed a run and four hits, struck out four and walked none. The right-hander, who pitched four-hit ball through eight innings last Wednesday in a 4-0 win at Houston, gave up just two harmless singles over his final 5 1-3 innings against an offence that came in leading the majors in runs and on-base percentage. The last time Richards faced the As on May 30, he gave up five runs and got only two outs. He entered Monday 0-3 with a 7.50 ERA in his six previous career starts against the As. "I wasnt really thinking about it too much," Richards saaid.dddddddddddd "But in the back of your mind, you want to do better than you did. ... I felt like this time was my turn to come out and show them what Ive got." Joe Smith pitched a perfect eighth inning and Ernesto Frieri struck out the side in the ninth for his 11th save. Jesse Chavez (5-4) allowed three runs -- two earned -- and eight hits in six innings with five strikeouts. It was the ninth time in his 13 starts this season that he yielded fewer than three earned runs, but his record in those games is only 4-2. The Angels, coming off sweep of the Chicago White Sox, were out to avenge a three-game sweep by the Athletics 1 1/2 weeks earlier at Oakland. They broke a 1-all tie in the fourth with a bloop RBI single by Raul Ibanez. Ibanezs hit drove in David Freese, who drew a leadoff walk after walking all four times up in Sundays game. Stephen Vogt and Yoenis Cespedes each had two hits against Richards. Vogt opened the scoring in the second inning with a two-out RBI single after a double by Cespedes. Chavez hit Conger on the right elbow with his first pitch of the third, after Richards plunked John Jaso on the left foot with two out and the bases empty in the top half. Conger hustled to third on Kole Calhouns bloop single to left-centre and scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly by Trout, who was robbed of extra bases on a leaping catch by centre fielder Coco Crisp a few feet in front of the fence. Conger added an RBI single in the eighth against Jim Johnson. Scioscia said before the game that Tuesday nights scheduled starter, Tyler Skaggs, will go on the 15-day disabled list because of a right hamstring strain. Hector Santiago was expected to be recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to make the start. NOTES: Scioscias ejection was his first this season and 37th since becoming Angels manager in 2000. ... The Athletics failed to hit a home run after getting at least one in each of their previous 16 games (27 total). ... Richards next start will be in Atlanta next weekend. He has allowed no more than two runs or five hits in any of his six road starts this season. ... Oakland 1B Alberto Callaspo, whom the As acquired from the Angels in July 2013, was 0 for 3 is hitless in 13 career at-bats against Richards.
