GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Jimmy Garoppolo did just what Tom Brady always seems to do. Lead the New England Patriots to a late score and victory.But the Patriots needed a little help.Arizonas Chandler Catanzaro missed a 47-yard field goal with 41 seconds to play and the severely depleted Patriots escaped with a 23-21 victory Sunday night in the season opener.We should have won the game, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. As poorly as we played, we should have still won.The snap from rookie long snapper Kameron Canady was low and holder Drew Butler didnt get the ball in terrific position. But Catanzaro was making no excuses.Just an old-fashioned miss, Catanzaro said. Ill make the next one.Arians said: It was a low snap. Drew got it down and he (Catanzaro) pulled it.The miss came after Garoppolo, in his first NFL start, directed the Patriots from their own 19 to the Arizona 15 to set up Stephen Gostkowskis 23-yard field goal for what proved to be the winner with 3:44 to play.Garoppolo completed 24 of 33 passes for 264 yards with no interceptions. He never seemed rattled.When you have confidence in your teammates and they have confidence in you, its easy to stay poised, he said.Coach Bill Bilichick wasnt ready to crown Garoppolo the next Brady, though.He made some good plays. It is not perfect but he made a lot of good plays, Bilichick said.Arizonas Carson Palmer threw for 271 yards and two touchdowns, both to Larry Fitzgerald.We came out too slow, Palmer said, and obviously there when you have to win it with a late field goal, youre obviously behind the 8-ball.Not only were the Patriots without Brady, suspended for his role in deflategate, but they also didnt have tight end Rob Gronkowski, defensive end Rob Ninkovich and two starters on the offensive line.Again, Garoppolo talked about that Patriot confidence.Whoever is out there we have confidence in one another, he said. That is a good thing we have going for us.A remarkable 45-yard run by David Johnson set up a 2-yard, sliding, over-the-shoulder touchdown catch by Fitzgerald that gave the Cardinals their only lead of the night, 21-20, with 9:46 remaining.Ex-Patriot Chandler Jones sacked Garoppolo on the first play of New Englands next possession, but the young quarterback still set up the winning kick by Gostkowski, who also booted a 53-yarder.I am really proud of our team tonight, Belichick said. I thought we got great effort from all three phases. We played a good complimentary game.A holding penalty hampered the final Arizona drive but a pass to Jaron Brown put the Cardinals within field-goal range. The snap was low and Catanzaro booted the ball to the left of the uprights.New England, a five-point underdog, took the lead on its first possession and scored again to start the second half.Up 10-7 at the break, the Patriots took the second-half kickoff and went 70 yards in nine plays. Rookie cornerback Brandon Williams was beaten badly for the second time on Garoppolos 28-yard pass to the Arizona 8. LaGarrette Blount bulled it in from there and the Patriots led 17-7 with 10 minutes left in the first quarter.The first two Arizona touchdowns followed New England turnovers.REMARKABLE RUNJohnsons remarkable run featured about every tool in the running back kit.He jump cut into the line, spun away from a would-be tackler, put his hand on the ground to steady his balance and stiff-armed another defender before racing down the sidelines. That set up a pretty over-the-shoulder catch by Fitzgerald, the 100th TD reception of his career.I thought I was going to take it to the house, Johnson said. I didnt see the guy behind me. Hopefully it was a defensive lineman and not a linebacker.FAST STARTGaroppolo got off to a fast start, overthrowing the receiver on his first pass then completing four straight for 75 yards. He took advantage of blown coverage by Williams to throw to a wide open Chris Hogan for 37 yards and a touchdown .On their second possession, the Patriots drove from their 8 to the Arizona 29 and Gostkowskis 47-yard field goal made it 10-0.TURNOVER NO. 1The only turnover of the first half led to Arizonas lone first-half score.Garoppolo took a hit from Markus Golden and fumbled. Jones, acquired in an offseason trade with New England, recovered for Arizona at the New England 40.NO DANCINGA celebration dance by Jones and D.J. Swearinger drew a 15-yard penalty after the turnover, but the Cardinals still drove for a score.Palmer threw 2 yards to Fitzgerald to cut the lead to 10-7 with 6:20 left in the first half.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheapest Adidas Stan Smith .

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Indianapolis Colts believe they got the confidence boost so desperately needed after blowing a late lead a week ago.The Tennessee Titans are still searching for answers, angry that they just cant beat their AFC South rival.Andrew Luck threw for 353 yards and three touchdowns, even missing a trio of starters on offense, and the Colts scored the final 14 points Sunday in beating the Titans 34-26.This is big, Colts running back Frank Gore said. Its a division win. I take my hat off to Tennessee. They are a good team, and they play hard. We knew coming in that it was going to be tough, but we had to win. Now we are 3-4, and we are going to move onto Kansas City and try to get a win again next week.Stringing together consecutive wins is something the Colts (3-4) have yet to do this season.The Titans (3-4) thought they had figured out how to do just that themselves with this loss snapping a two-game winning streak.Worse, the Titans now have never beaten Luck in eight games with the Colts winning their 10th straight and 16th in 16 games in this series. Defensive tackle Jurrell Casey was very upset after the latest loss and eager for Thursday nights game with Jacksonville.Me personally, Ive been losing to this guy since college, Casey said of Luck. It hurts me deeply. Ive just got to find a way, and my team just has to find ways to win these close games.Here are some things to know about the Colts latest win over Tennessee:PROTECTING LUCKLuck had been sacked 23 times coming into this game, and the Colts started rookie Joe Haeg at left guard with Jack Mewhort out injured. They allowed only two sacks to a defense that came in fifth in the NFL after piling up six in each of the past two games. That gave Luck time to pick apart the Titans, who had been allowing only 235.5 yards passing per game good for 11th in the league.MARIOTAS BOBBLESMarcus Mariota now is just 2-8 at home with 19 turnovers in those games since being drafted by the Titans. He escaped a pair of would-be turnovers on a game-tying drive. An unnecessary roughness penalty on Josh McNary wiped out an interception by Patrick Robinson late in the third quarter, and then Mariota simply dropped the ball as he turned to hand off before falling on it for a 9-yard loss.ddddddddddddWith the Titans trailing 27-23, Mariota was sacked and stripped by T.Y. McGill with Robert Mathis picking the ball up and running 14 yards for the clinching TD. Again, one of those things we have to stop doing, Mularkey said.STREAKING VINATIERIAdam Vinatieri, the 43-year-old kicker, set an NFL record with 43 consecutive made field goals. He came in two shy of the mark of 42 set by former Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt between 2002 and 2004, and Vinatieri kicked field goals of 28 and 33 yards, the second coming with 3:46 left in the third quarter. Vinatieri said he never concerns himself with personal goals and records, preferring a victory. Im sure Ill sit back some day down the road and enjoy it, Vinatieri said.NEXT MAN UPThe Colts played without starting wide receiver Donte Moncrief, who was replaced by rookie Chester Rogers, and tight end Dwayne Allen. Erik Swoope replaced Allen, but Luck leaned heavily on T.Y. Hilton who caught seven passes for 133 yards, including a 37-yard TD. Tight end Jack Doyle was Lucks second favorite target, catching nine passes and 78 yards and a TD that put the Colts ahead to stay with 1:55 left.SPECIAL TEAM WOESMularkey fired special teams coordinator Bobby April on Oct. 3 after the Titans gave up a punt return for a TD. Special teams cost the Titans four points Sunday with a botched extra point after a kickoff on the opening drive, and Tennessee was beaten in the second quarter when Indianapolis recovered an onside kick. Phillip Supernaw had a chance to recover for Titans and couldnt pull in the ball. The Colts settled for the first of Vinatieris field goals.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFLFollow Teresa M.
