RENTON, Wash. - After the drama and turmoil early in the season, the Seattle Seahawks are where they expected to be with two weeks left, on the cusp of being back in the playoffs and with a chance at still landing the No. 1 seed in the NFC.Two victories — beginning with Sundays showdown at Arizona — would give the Seahawks (10-4) their second straight NFC West title.But the last thing Pete Carroll plans on doing this week is mentioning the importance of facing the Cardinals on Sunday night.Not any mention of it. Thats not stuff we talk about. Its so obvious why we dont talk about it, Carroll said on Monday. Weve been preparing for championship games all season long and playing like they are, and the more you do that the more comfortable I hope we feel with the big setting that this one brings and all the hype that people are going to put on it. Were not going to play any different.Were going to try and play the same football weve been playing and that means were going to give it everything we got and were going to try and go all out to get a win and take it to next week.Seattle put itself in position where another division title and the No. 1 seed is a possibility thanks to its four-game win streak that included Sundays 17-7 win over San Francisco that eliminated the 49ers from post-season contention.As it was for most of last season, the defence has been at the forefront of Seattles surge. San Francisco became the fourth straight opponent held under 250 total yards. And only once in the past nine games have the Seahawks allowed a team to gain more than 300 yards. None of their past four opponents have gained 100 yards in the second half.Seattle leads the NFL in yards allowed per game at 272.4, a pace that is ahead of what it accomplished last season. The Seahawks are the only team in the NFL giving up fewer than 300 total yards and one of two allowing fewer than 200 yards per game passing.Carrolls been pleased with the combination of Seattles pass rush flustering quarterbacks lately to go along with the blanket coverage in the secondary.Were getting real good continuity now. Were covering aggressively, were playing tight, guys are challenging and making their breaks on the ball and the more that we feel the rush the harder it is on the quarterback, Carroll said.That is a real good part of our game right now. Were going to try and keep pushing it. I always think it starts up front with the guys rushing the passer, but we certainly feed off one another and it will certainly be important down the stretch.For all the praise toward Seattles defence lately, the Seahawks have concerns about the offensive line going into Sundays game at Arizona.Center Max Unger has missed the past four games and while hell practice on Wednesday, Carroll said hes still not 100 per cent after suffering ankle and knee injuries in Week 11 at Carolina.Left tackle Russell Okung suffered a bruised lung on the final play of the first half Sunday and will likely miss this week baring a significant change.It sounds like its a week or two unless we get a really good report. Were going to hope for the best and see how he does. He really wants to play if he can, Carroll said of Okung.Okung was injured trying to chase down San Franciscos Eric Reid on an interception return. He was hit hard by San Francisco defensive tackle Ray McDonald throwing a block on the return. Okung appeared to be spitting up blood as he left the field at halftime and was checked out at a local hospital before being released.Alvin Bailey would likely make his second start at left tackle and fifth overall this season if Okung cant go.Carroll is also waiting to see how tight end Tony Moeaki recovers from a shoulder injury suffered against the 49ers, but the Seahawks expected reserve tight end Cooper Helfet (ankle) back this week.___Online:http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Trey Supak Brewers Jersey . -- With the Memphis Grizzlies struggling to find their offensive rhythm, O.

Which is to say, the top of this years draft class is not as dynamic or exciting as the 2013 class of Nate MacKinnon, Sasha Barkov, Jonathan Drouin and Seth Jones and its not as strikingly promising as the highly-anticipated 2015 slate of Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel and Noah Hanifin.NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Titans quarterback Jake Locker dislocated his left, non-throwing shoulder when hit by Jets defensive end Quinton Coples late in the first half and didnt return Sunday.Coach Ken Whisenhunt said after a 16-11 loss to the Jets that doctors popped Lockers shoulder back in.Locker could have returned if needed, but would have only been able to hand off. This leaves the Titans with Charlie Whitehurst their only healthy quarterback.The Titans (2-12) visit the Jaguars on Thursday night, leaving Locker a short week to try to recover. Whisenhunt said he would have to talk to the trainer to see if Locker can finish the season. Locker was starting with rookie Zach Mettenberger already out with a sprained right shoulder.You can pick a couple other positions where weve had bad luck too, Whisenhunt said. I want to be clear that Zachs and Jakes are different, but yeah its hard. Thats an important position, and now weve had a couple guys get injured there.Locker was hurt after throwing deep incomplete to Derek Hagan as Coples came around the corner and knocked the quarterback to the ground. Lockers left arm got caught underneath. Lockker stayed on the ground for a couple of minutes before walking off the field and to the locker room, holding his arm against his body.ddddddddddddHe returned to the sideline during the third quarter wearing a cap and still in uniform.The Titans emergency quarterback is wide receiver Kendall Wright, who was deactivated with a broken right hand. Whisenhunt said wide receiver Kris Durham was their emergency option if needed, though Durham hasnt had much practice at quarterback.It wouldve been a stressful situation no question, Whisenhunt said.Coples also knocked Locker out of the game the previous time these teams met in September 2013. Locker had to be taken off on a stretcher with an injured hip and knee, though he came in 2-0 against the Jets in his career.Jets safety Calvin Pryor, who hurt his left shoulder early in the second quarter, went to the locker room. He returned for the Jets first defensive series in the third quarter.Whisenhunt said after the game that Titans tight end Brett Brackett also hurt a knee, leaving them short at that position as well.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
