GREEN BAY, Wis. - Aaron Rodgers started peeking ahead to the playoffs. Tom Brady stewed about missed opportunities.Had it not been for a late Green Bay sack, the star quarterbacks could have reversed roles.But the Packers prevailed in a 26-21 thriller Sunday night over the New England Patriots that had all the makings of a potential Super Bowl preview.We would love home-field advantage, yes, Rodgers said when asked about the post-season. A lot.With a 6-0 home record this year, no team will want to come to Lambeau Field for the playoffs.Rodgers threw for 368 yards and two long touchdowns, to tight end Richard Rodgers and receiver Jordy Nelson. Eddie Lacy had 21 carries for 98 yards, including 26 during a fourth-quarter drive that led to Mason Crosbys 28-yard field goal for a five-point lead with 8:41 left.Mike Daniels and Mike Neal provided the defensive exclamation point after combining to sack Brady on third down for a 9-yard loss. Stephen Gostkowkski pushed a 47-yard field-goal attempt wide right with 2:40 left.The Packers sealed it after Rodgers converted to Cobb on third-and-4 with the Patriots out of timeouts.The point total was enough to win the game, coach Mike McCarthy said. I thought (the) defence did a lot of good things, and really I think the end of the game is what youre looking for as a coach.Not quite the ending Brady had in mind.I just wish we would have won this one. We put a lot into this one, and this was a great test for us, Brady said. I think the guys knew how important this was for our season.Green Bay (9-3) has won four straight and eight of nine. New England (9-3) had its seven-game winning streak snapped.Dont be surprised if these teams meet again in February.The Packers are far from a finished product. For one, they would like to improve their production in the red zone after having settled for four field goals from Crosby of 35 yards or less.Some other takeaways from Sundays showdown between two of the top teams in the NFL:CHIPPING AWAY: The Packers came close several times to getting to Brady, but couldnt record a sack until their last defensive play of the game. Daniels rushed from the inside, while Neal overpowered left tackle Nate Solder from the outside before they met at the quarterback.McCarthy has said he was hoping his defence could come up with a good performance without relying on having to create turnovers. Thats exactly what happened against New England. The Packers, who led the league in turnover margin, didnt record a takeaway. They ended up holding New England to its lowest point total since falling 41-14 on Sept. 29 at Kansas City.So when youve got a guy like that, you have to just keep on chopping wood and you never know when youll get to him, Daniels said. And as you saw, the last defensive play of the game is when we got to him.FILED AWAY: The big-game atmosphere made Sundays game feel like a playoff contest. A lot can happen between now and early February, though the NFL will gladly take a repeat of the thriller in the Super Bowl.If we see them again ... that would be cool, tight end Rob Gronkowski said.

Theyre a good team and they just beat us heads up right now.Gronkowski finished with seven catches for 98 yards.ROOKIE NIGHT: The draft-and-develop Packers always rely on young players.

Rodgers was able to peck away at the secondary anyway. All three receivers had their moments, including a 45-yard score for Nelson after beating Revis for a 45-yard touchdown and outracing safety Devin McCourty to the front pylon before falling out of bounds.Its heartbreaking for us, Revis said about the loss.INJURY REPORT: Packers cornerback Sam Shields left after sustaining a concussion in the second quarter.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Talib Zanna had 19 points and a career-high 21 rebounds to help Pittsburgh beat No. 15 North Carolina 80-75 in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament quarterfinals Friday. James Robinson also scored a career-best 19 points for the fifth-seeded Panthers (25-8), who used a dominating start to build a huge lead before having to hold off a late rally by the fourth-seeded Tar Heels (23-9). Pittsburgh led by 20 points with 7:22 left before UNCs frantic comeback behind Marcus Paige, who scored 20 of his 27 points after halftime before fouling out with 25.4 seconds left. UNC got it to 78-75 on Nate Britts jumper with 11.4 seconds left but couldnt complete the comeback. James Robinson knocked down two free throws to make it a two-possession game again right after Britts score, then Lamar Patterson rebounded a hurried 3-pointer by James Michael McAdoo with 4.3 seconds left to essentially seal it. Now, after a dominating performance in Thursdays second round and a bumbling-but-successful finish Friday, the Panthers will face sixth-ranked and top-seeded Virginia in Saturdays semifinals. Zanna, a 6-foot-9 fifth-year senior, came within two rebounds of tying the single-game tournament rebounding record that had stood since 1959. He fouled out with 1:03 left. Zanna had 10 offensive rebounds -- one shy of UNCs team total -- and helped Pitt control the boards while taking a 21-6 edge in second-chance points against a team that was third in the league in rebounnding margin for the regular season.dddddddddddd With all those point-blank extra looks off offensive rebounds, Pitt shot 52 per cent for the game. North Carolina spent all day trying to recover from a terrible start. It missed 16 of 19 shots and fell behind 25-8, though its late comeback at least gave them some hope of sticking around Greensboro a little longer. North Carolina shot 42 per cent, though much of that production came after Pitt had built a 61-41 lead on Josh Newkirks three-point play midway through the second half. The Panthers have won five of six to pull out of a three-game losing streak that started to threaten their NCAA tournament chances, with this ranking as probably their best of the year. Now the Tar Heels are suddenly struggling. The Tar Heels started 0-3 in the ACC and stood at 1-4 before running off 12 straight wins, including a home win against Pittsburgh, to earn a top-four seed and double-round bye that came with it. But UNC didnt play well in the final two games of the streak and lost at Duke to close the regular season last weekend, sending them into Greensboro coming off their first loss since Jan. 20. The rebounding trouble was particularly alarming for UNC considering it managed just 20 rebounds in last weekends loss at Cameron Indoor Stadium. During one demoralizing second-half stretch, Zanna tipped in offensive rebounds on consecutive possessions and had 17 rebounds to UNCs 16 with nearly 14 minutes still left. ' ' '
