TEMPE L.J. Collier Jersey , Ariz. (AP) — Whether that game is Sunday, when his beleaguered Arizona Cardinals play at Seattle, is anybody’s guess.And don’t expect any hints from him. He doesn’t like to talk about it.“I haven’t even thought about it,” Fitzgerald said after the Cardinals practiced on Thursday. “I’m just focused on trying to get this win in Seattle.”The week before, he’d said, rather impatiently, “You know me. I’ve been answering for the last three years. Nothing’s going to change,” he said. “If I decide to retire, I’ll let you guys know. Man, seriously. So, I don’t understand why we keep asking these questions.”The answer would be because he’s 35 years old, played 15 seasons in the NFL and has accumulated statistics that place him among the best to play the game.Certainly Fitzgerald seems physically capable of continuing beyond this season.“I believe from an ability standpoint there’s very few people that can do what Larry does,” Cardinals offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich said.“That’s just honest. When the ball comes in his direction http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/marquise-blair-jersey-authentic , when it’s time to make the play, he’s one of the best to ever do it.”Leftwich said he’s never seen a better pair of hands on a receiver, although he acknowledged that might tick off Randy Moss.Fitzgerald is remarkably durable. He’s caught a pass in 226 consecutive games. Sunday will mark his 234th NFL game, all with the Cardinals, tying the franchise record set by kicker Jim Bakken, who played from 1962-78.With 14 yards receiving, he’ll top 2,000 yards receiving against the Seahawks. Fitzgerald’s already topped that mark against the Rams and 49ers, so he would join Jerry Rice as the only receivers to accomplish that feat against three teams.Last week, in an otherwise ugly loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Fitzgerald threw his first career TD pass, a nifty 32-yarder to David Johnson.Now, though, he finds himself on a 3-12 team that ranks last in the NFL in offense with a rookie quarterback in Josh Rosen and all the inconsistencies that brings. Fitzgerald has 65 catches for 698 yards and five touchdowns. Decent stats for anyone else, but in the previous three years D.K. Metcalf Jersey , Fitzgerald caught 109, 107 and 109 passes.So why keep playing? In terms of wins and losses, this will be the worst record of any of his 15 Cardinals teams, no matter what happens on Sunday in Seattle.Yet he said he still loves his job.“I can’t think of anything I don’t like about it,” he said. “The grind is great, man. It’s part of it. You can’t do what you do on Sunday without the practices and lifting the weights and watching the film and doing all the studying and the preparation. You can’t go out there and execute if you don’t put the time in.”But those losses keep piling up.“Hard work doesn’t guarantee results,” Fitzgerald said. “But it ensures that you’re prepared to go out there and play, and that’s my thing. I step on that field there’s no guarantees of anything but I know I’m prepared to play. I know my assignments, I know what I need to execute. It’s your will against the other man you’re competing against.”Fitzgerald, if he returns, may be dealing with another coaching change. He’s voiced his support for Steve Wilks, who looks to be on shaky ground at the end of his first season as coach.As for Wilks, he said he’s just blessed to coach a player such as Fitzgerald.“I think about that daily just being around him, to be honest with you,” Wilks said. “Last week http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/cody-barton-jersey-authentic , I walked up to him, and here’s a Thursday practice, and he’s diving for a ball in the end zone. A guy with 15 years in the league. I try to reference that with the young guys, particularly Christian (Kirk) when he was still here practicing daily. You’ve got a great example and a mentor to really pattern your life after — not just football, but life.“Larry’s just one of the best.” KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The game was all-but decided, and the Chiefs minutes away from playing in their first AFC title game in 25 years, when they drove to the goal line for a chance to punctuate their long-awaited victory over the Indianapolis Colts with a touchdown.Patrick Mahomes turned and handed the ball to Darrel Williams, who was stood up right at the goal line. Williams kept churning as the Chiefs began to push him, inch by inch, toward pay dirt.Leading the way? Their brilliant young quarterback.Mahomes toppled right over the goal line with Williams, then leaped up and threw a knockout right hook at nothing but air, celebrating not only the score but ultimately a 31-13 victory Saturday.Mahomes wound up throwing for 278 yards in his postseason debut, ran on a hobbled knee for a key touchdown, and did all the dirty work — like that Reggie Bush-style shove — necessary to keep alive the Chiefs’ chances of playing in their first Super Bowl since Len Dawson led the way in 1970.“My favorite thing was finishing the game at the end Gary Jennings Jr. Jersey ,” Mahomes said of the late touchdown. “We’ve been in those situations and didn’t execute to our standards. It shows the attitude and effort you need to win football games.”Especially in cold, snowy January weather, when the games are most meaningful.Mahomes answered the call Saturday amid tremendous pressure and great expectations. The Chiefs traded up to pick him 10th overall a couple of years ago, then allowed him to learn the ropes for a year under Alex Smith, before turning him loose on an unsuspecting league.The young quarterback with the curly Mohawk, massive arm and moxie in spades threw for more than 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns in the regular season, and shattered just about every franchise passing record. But nobody knew how he would respond to the playoffs, where the Chiefs have given their fans nothing but agony and heartbreak since Joe Montana was taking snaps from center.All he did was lead Kansas City to touchdowns on its first two possessions to set the tone against a resurgent Colts defense, then lead his team to a field goal and another score before halftime.The last one was his rushing touchdown, which came after he took a wicked hit in the pocket.“It was a little cold out there so I was aching for a second,” said Mahomes, who no doubt caused heart palpitations across Kansas City when he came up limping. “But it feels fine, it really is. It got me there for a second, a little stinger I guess http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/phil-haynes-jersey-authentic , but I was feeling pretty good after that.”Mahomes was sacked four times and threw a couple of wobbly passes, and he had an interception wiped away by an offside call, but never made the crucial mistake that could have turned the game.It helped that his biggest options all showed up.Damien Williams ran for 129 yards and a score against a Colts defense that had not allowed a 100-yard rusher this season. Travis Kelce had seven catches for 108 yards. Tyreek Hill had 72 yards through the air and ran 36 yards for a score. And wide receiver Sammy Watkins even pitched in for the first time since hurting his foot during a game in November.“We ran the ball, and that’s the biggest thing,” Kelce said. “When you have the lead, you’ve got to be able to run the ball late in the game. Damien Williams, man. He runs his tail off for everybody on this team. Sure enough it showed today that he can finish a game off for us.”Pulling the trigger, though, was the Chiefs’ unflappable first-year starter.He did it with his arm. He did it with his legs. He even did it with his voice, drawing the Colts offside so many times that their defensive line was visibly frustrated.“Mahomes was No. 1 in the NFL at drawing people offside. And so we knew that going in,” Colts coach Frank Reich said. “We talked about it, and he still got us. For a young guy, the way to work the cadence the way that he does, I give him credit for that.”It wasn’t the only reason to heap praise on him Saturday.
