GLENDALE, Ariz. David Njoku Jersey . - Whenever Seattle Seahawks receiver Chris Matthews searched online for news about himself, he always had to add the word football. Any other search for Chris Matthews almost always ended up with political talk show host Chris Matthews.That will likely change after Sundays Super Bowl.Despite his team losing to the New England Patriots, Matthews made a name for himself with a breakout game in the Super Bowl, catching four passes for 109 yards and a touchdown.This is huge for me to finish a game and do what I did, Matthews said. Now I feel like I should come back and work extremely hard.Even another well-known Chris Matthews — of MSNBCs Hardball — took notice.Congratulations on a great first half to the @Seahawks Chris Matthews from the @hardball Chris Matthews! the host wrote on Twitter.The Seattle receiver put in plenty of work to get here.Matthews played two seasons at Kentucky after transferring from a junior college and was signed by the Cleveland Browns in 2011. He was cut before the end of training camp and spent the year out of football.After that, Matthews played two seasons for Winnipeg in the Canadian Football League, but had to work other jobs to make enough money.He was working at Foot Locker when the Seahawks asked him to try out for the team last February and ended up making the team after nearly declining their invitation.Matthews didnt catch a pass during the regular season, but did come up with the onside kick that helped Seattle pull out its improbable win over Green Bay in the NFC Championship.During the Super Bowl, Matthews made a spectacular 44-yard catch to jumpstart Seattles offence in the second quarter and hauled in an 11-yard touchdown in the closing seconds of the first half.It was great for me, he said.___CLOSING BRAWLThe end of the Super Bowl was marred by a brawl in the closing seconds.New England had just intercepted a pass in the end zone with 20 seconds left and took over at its 1-yard line. Hoping to just run out the clock, the Patriots had quarterback Tom Brady take a knee.Instead of accepting defeat, the Seahawks tried to rush the line and get to the ball before Brady could take a knee, setting off pushing and shoving from both sides.Skirmishes broke out across the line and a couple of players hit the ground, including New England tight end Michael Hoomanawanui, who was wrestled down by Seattle linebacker Bruce Irvin.Irvin was ejected from the game and Brady was able to kneel and run out the clock once order was restored.I was protecting a teammate, emotions flew, Irvin said. I saw somebody hit Mike Bennett, so I went and backed up my brother. I went about it wrong. Emotions were flying high and I apologize. But if it happened again, I would go protect my teammate. Thats just how it is.___FINAL DRIVENew England quarterback Tom Brady has been known for keeping his cool in tight spots and did exactly that on New Englands final drive.The Patriots started the drive at their own 36-yard line with 6:52 left and methodically worked their way down the field.Brady was brutally efficient on the drive, hitting six straight short passes to get it going. He finished the drive 8 for 8 and capped it with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Julian Edelman for what ended up being the winning score.Brady also orchestrated a late winning drive in New Englands win over St. Louis at the 2001 Super Bowl in New Orleans.Hard to remember that far back — Im a little older now, said Brady, who was named Super Bowl MVP for the third time. You just have to make plays to win. It was great. We havent had many games this year that have come down like this. Im glad we made the plays when we needed to.___CARROLLS SOCIAL CRITICISMSeattle coach Pete Carrolls decision to throw a pass instead of handing the ball off to Marshawn Lynch at the end of the Super Bowl instantly drew plenty of criticism on social media. New Englands Malcolm Butler jumped the route on the final pass for an interception that allowed the Patriots to run out the clock.That was the worst play call Ive seen in the history of football, Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith said on Twitter.This game is getting too complicated now trying to out smart and out think the other team. Run the ball stick to the basics. New York Jets fullback John Conner, said on Twitter.Bad things happen when u try get cute in football. Seattle best player one yard away from goal line with a timeout and he doesnt touch it? former NFL linebacker Scott Shanle said on Twitter.Even actor Will Ferrell chimed in, dropping a reference to Lynchs pat answer about only being at media day so he doesnt get fined.Yall know why Im here. Well...everyone except Pete Carroll. Ferrell said on Twitter.Carroll accepted the blame after the game, saying he thought the passing play might throw off the Patriots, who were lined up in a goal-line defence.Its not the right matchup for us to run the football, so on second down we throw the ball really to kind of waste a play, he said. If we score, we do, if we dont, then well run it on third and fourth down. Really, with no second thoughts or hesitation in that at all. And, unfortunately, with the play we tried to execute, the guy jumps in front of the route and makes an incredible play that nobody would ever think he could do.___SQUATTING PENALTYSeattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin drew a penalty flag for unsportsmanlike conduct after catching a touchdown pass to put the Seahawks up two scores in the third quarter of the Super Bowl. Why? Something of a mystery to television viewers.But it appeared to have been an obscene gesture; Baldwin apparently simulated pulling down his pants over the football as if to go to the bathroom.Two officials immediately threw a flag when Baldwin squatted over the ball.___BETTING LINELines were out the door at some Las Vegas sports books in the hours before the Super Bowl, with bettors eager to take their shot at a game that oddsmakers called a tossup.At the South Point book, oddsmaker Jimmy Vaccaro said the pick em line was the first he could remember since the 1982 Super Bowl, with money balanced evenly on each team.The best job were doing today is staying out of the way and taking their cash, Vaccaro said. We have nothing to be concerned about. We win no matter who wins.With two hours left before the game, the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook had all windows open and the Seahawks favoured by a point, though oddsmaker Jay Kornegay said he was about to change the game to pick em.Its rush hour right now, Kornegay said. We had lines literally outside most of the day, which was pretty much what we expected.Seattle opened a favourite two weeks ago, but the line switched to New England when early money came in on the Patriots. The late money was on the Seahawks, evening the game out as pick em at most legal books.This is the easiest game Ive ever been involved with, said Vaccaro, who began making odds in the 1970s. Barring something silly like a 4-0 game its going to be very good for the books.Vaccaro said the betting could surpass the $119.7 million wagered on last years Super Bowl in Nevada sports books, which was a record___TIGHT SECURITYSecurity for the Super Bowl, as expected, was quite tight.University of Phoenix Stadium was ringed with security personnel, including SWAT teams with machine-guns, uniformed and plain-clothes police and hundreds of workers in red jackets.Everyone who entered the stadium was subject to a pat down, metal detectors and bag checks. Bomb-sniffing dogs also roamed the grounds and checked bags at security checkpoints.Local officials also received help from the Border Patrol, which brought Black Hawk helicopters and truck-sized X-ray machines to make sure the Super Bowl was safe.

Paul Pierce hit a 3-pointer with 16.9 seconds left in OT to give the Nets the short-lived lead. Turner, sensational all game, drove past a pair of defenders and tossed up the last-gasp shot. The ball bounced three times around the rim before it dropped through the net. After a brief review, the bucket stood, Turner was mobbed by his teammates and the Sixers snapped a seven-game losing streak. Thaddeus Young scored 25 points for the Sixers, and Michael Carter-Williams had 15 points and 10 assists. Alan Anderson had a season-high 26 points for the Nets, Pierce scored 24 with 10 rebounds, and Deron Williams had 17 points and 14 assists.

Carter-Williams hit two free throws for a 116-115 lead, then had the assist to Young in front of Brooklyns bench on a 3-pointer with 2:02 left. The 76ers missed three shots on the same possession, setting up Pierces clutch 3, Brooklyns 15th of the game. Turned out, the Sixers had one last dramatic shot of their own. Turners 13th basket of the game was his biggest of the season, and he was mobbed on the court by a Sixers team buried well below .500. Carter-Williams returned after a seven-game absence because of a skin infection and teamed with Tony Wroten in the backcourt for an effective 1-2 punch. Wroten scored 19 points. Thanks to OT, the Sixers finished with season highs in field goals (51) and assists (36). Mirza Teletovic hit 6 3s and scored 18 points for the Nets. Brook Lopez had 22 points. The Nets played without veterans Joe Johnson (personal reasons) and Kevin Garnett (rest). Without thheir veterans, the Nets missed twice on one of the final possessions of regulation and the Sixers grabbed the rebound. Howard Wilson Jersey. Philadelphia rookie coach Brett Brown called timeout with 21.1 seconds left, setting up Carter-Williams drive down the lane. He beat Williams to the basket, but ended with a wild misfire on a left-handed layup over Lopez. Brooklyn grabbed the rebound and called timeout. Williams missed at the horn over Youngs outstretched arm to send it into OT. Neither team could break away in the fourth. Young hit a mid-range jumper from the top of the key with 1:58 left for a 107-106 lead. Anderson snatched it right back on two free throws -- a lopsided edge for the Nets. The Nets made 21 of 30 free throws; the 76ers just 10 of 15. Turner, who made his first eight shots from the floor, hit only the front end on a pair of attempts, but tied the game 108-all. The Nets struggled to build a small lead for most of the quarter. They botched an alley-oop and Williams had the ball slip out of his hands on a layup attempt. Still, all five starters hit double-digit scoring in regulation, and Williams had a double-double. Anderson, who averages only 8.0 points, connected on a pair of 3s during a 10-1 run late in the third that sent the Nets into the fourth with an 83-82 lead. Johnson made 10 3-pointers, most in the NBA this season, and scored a season-high 37 points in the Nets 130-94 victory over the Sixers on Monday night. With Johnson out, Teletovic took over as Brooklyns 3-point ace, hitting five in the first half against one of the worst-defending teams in the league. He nearly did as much damage alone from 3-point range as the Sixers did as a team. NOTES: Wroten has started all games Carter-Williams has missed this season. ...
