News » deadline, he scored just once

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The Jones family dinner table was a competitive place with three athletic sons.If it was the last piece of chicken, or whatever, we were wrestling for it, said eldest brother Arthur.The reward will be much greater — a trip to the Super Bowl — when he and Chandler play on opposing teams in the AFC championship game on Sunday night.Arthur is a defensive tackle for the Indianapolis Colts. Chandler is a defensive end for the New England Patriots. This will be the fourth time the brothers face each other since Chandler, a first-round draft choice in 2012, joined his brother in the NFL.Their parents plan to attend. And 27-year-old brother Jon, a mixed-martial arts light heavyweight champion, also may be there.My mom and dad are pretty excited, 24-year-old Chandler said. They get to go to the (Super Bowl) no matter what.The brothers already have met in an AFC title game.Arthur played for Baltimore and Chandler was a rookie for the Patriots on Jan. 20, 2013, when the Ravens made another trip to Foxborough and won 28-13. Two weeks later, the Ravens were NFL champions, beating the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 with Arthur contributing a sack and a fumble recovery.Now Chandler gets another chance.An outstanding pass rusher, hell try to tackle quarterback Andrew Luck, who, at 240 pounds, can be tough to bring down.I really dont see Andrew Luck as a young quarterback at all, Chandler said. I know this is his third year. We actually both got drafted the same year. But this guy, he plays like a veteran.The 28-year-old Arthur won the first two times he faced his brother, a 31-30 Ravens win on Sept. 23, 2012, Chandlers third game in the NFL after being drafted in the first round out of Syracuse, where Arthur also played. Then came the Ravens playoff win before the Patriots won in Baltimore 41-7 on Dec. 22, 2013.Arthur signed with the Colts as a free agent before this season. But the brothers were sidelined when the Patriots beat the Colts 42-20 on Nov. 16 in Indianapolis. Arthur had an ankle injury and Chandler was out with a hip injury.Now both are back, with Arthur playing in the Colts last eight games and Chandler in the Patriots last four.Arthurs return has made a huge impact, Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano said. Right now hes feeling really good and hes very disruptive. He does a great job along with those other guys of forcing double-teams. He commands a double-team.He had two tackles and a half-sack in a 26-10 wild-card win over Cincinnati and three tackles in a 24-13 divisional win at Denver. Hes made a big difference in the run defence after the Colts allowed Jonas Gray to run for 201 yards and four touchdowns in this seasons loss to the Patriots.Chandler made 21 tackles with 1 1-2 sacks in his four games since returning. He finished with six sacks after getting six as a rookie and 11 1-2 last season.But he was part of a defence that allowed four touchdowns in New Englands 35-31 divisional win over Baltimore last Saturday.You try not to harp on what happened last week, but (focus on) the week we have now, which is against the Colts, Chandler said.He and his brother wont be on the field at the same time Sunday night.Patriots safety Devin McCourty knows the feeling, having faced his brother, Tennessee cornerback Jason McCourty, once as a pro. The Patriots won 34-13 in the 2012 season opener.Devin reminds him of that game every chance I get.Playing against a brother is a pretty awesome feeling, he said. You kind of sit back and look at another person you grew up with, you went through a lot of similar things and then both be playing at a high level and playing in the NFL is great.For the Jones brothers its even more, he said, playing in a championship game with the opportunity to go to the Super Bowl.A few sacks by Chandler might help the Patriots get there, even if he must put up with Lucks tendency to praise the tackler.Hopefully, hell be doing some patting me on the back on Sunday, said Chandler, with a smile.And when the games over, he and Arthur can finally get on the field together to exchange some brotherly love taps.___AP Sports Writer Michael Marot in Indianapolis contributed to this story.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Rockets Jerseys .

That much is clear. Martin St. Louis had 29 goals and 62 points in 61 games with the Tampa Bay Lightning this season. After being traded to the New York Rangers at the March deadline, he scored just once and added seven assists in 19 games. "People were looking for me to get results and those tough times make you appreciate the good times," said St. Louis on the eve of his first playoffs in the Big Apple. "Ive failed a bunch of times, but I know Ive been successful many times too so, you know, Ive worked hard to get my game going. I feel comfortable here." It took awhile. Moving from sunny Florida where hockey players are as anonymous as mailmen to The City that Never Sleeps where the bright lights can either immortalize or stun was never going to be simple. "It is tough, I mean, Ive been somewhere for 13 seasons. In one place everyone knew me, I knew everybody, now you come to [a new] place, I think people know of me and I dont think they know me and that takes time," St. Louis explained. And the time is now. St. Louis had four assists in his last two games before the playoffs began. He had two assists in New Yorks Game 1 win on Thursday night. It seems like hes heating up at the perfect time. "This is playoff time and this is the time when you get judged and Im excited about that," he said. St. Louis did everything you can in Tampa. He won the Art Ross Trophy as the NHLs leading scorer twice, including in last years lockout-shortened campaign. He won the Hart Trophy as the league MVP (2003-04). He hoisted the Stanley Cup a decade ago. He has averaged more than a point per playoff game (70 in 64 career post-season contests). "At the end of the day, this is different," said St.dddddddddddd. Louis, who is well-known for his intense fitness regiment. "This is different. Its not because you had success that youre going to have success. Youve got to go earn it every day and Im going to try and do that starting with Game 1 of this series." Despite his track record in the game, St. Louis believes he still needs to prove himself to his new teammates. "Respects not just given, you earn that respect and I think I did that in Tampa and now Im trying to build that here and theres no better [time] to do that then going through a playoff experience." St. Louis has made a career of proving doubters wrong. At first, they said he was too small to make the NHL. He went undrafted and unsigned. Finally the Calgary Flames gave him a shot before ultimately buying out his contract after he was passed over in the 2000 expansion draft. Then there were the Olympic snubs in 2010 and 2014 that once again cast him in the underdog role. And now here we are again, with some speculating St. Louis made a major miscalculation leaving Tampa where he was playing well and working alongside Steven Stamkos on a team that appears to be on the rise. And despite that, St. Louis insists he hasnt let his mind wander to his legacy and how it may have been altered by what has happened in the last few months. "Right now, its so magnified, because of where we are, I dont think Ive had time to focus on big-picture stuff. I think Ive been focusing on getting in [the playoffs] and now that were in, doing good things. I think Ill focus on big-picture stuff maybe later in the summer. Im trying to stay in the moment. "These are the moments you play for. This is what keeps you going."
