FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Linval Joseph Jersey . -- When the Ravens and Patriots have met in New England in recent years, it has usually been a close affair.In the six games the Ravens have played at Gillette Stadium since coach John Harbaugh took over in 2008 they are 2-4, with their four defeats coming by average of four points. That includes a 35-31 loss in the division round of the playoffs in 2015.Such tight games typically leave little room for error. That means special teams play could play a big role Monday night.For the Patriots that would shine a light on two players in particular: kicker Stephen Gostkowski and punt returner Cyrus Jones.Gostkowski had a rocky start to the season by his standards, missing three extra points. It marked the first time since his rookie season in 2006 that he had missed even a single extra point. He also has misfired on four field goals -- his most misses since 2012.But after going 4 for 4 on field goals in Sundays win over the Rams -- including three makes of 45 or more yards -- the AFCs Special Teams Player of the Week feels like he is trending in the right direction.Its a start. Its one game, Gostkowski said. Every week is a different challenge. You just got to battle, keep your head down, stay humble and show up, but control your attitude and your effort. And make sure both of those are good and have faith in the process that what youve been doing is going to continue.Confidence has been lacking for Jones, who cant shake himself free of the fumbles that cloud his rookie season.New England didnt have a first-round draft pick this year as part of its Deflategate punishment. But it used its second-round pick on Jones, who had returned four punts for touchdowns as a senior at Alabama.But in nine punt returns this season, Jones is averaging only 4.7 yards and has four fumbles. After a muffed punt in the win over Los Angeles, he was replaced by Danny Amendola, who promptly suffered an ankle injury that could keep him sidelined this week.A subdued Jones took ownership of his struggles before practice on Wednesday, and said that despite his issues hes still hoping to get more chances to prove himself.Ill just take whatever opportunities I get, Jones said. Dannys out, so somebody has to get back there and try to do it.He said theres no magic to breaking out of his current funk, adding that once he can get over the initial step of catching the ball cleanly, he can run with it.Thats the easy part, he said.In the meantime hes still trying to mend fences with the coaching staff. A big night against the Ravens would certainly aid that.Its tough to gain the trust of the coaches when you keep going out there and keep muffing punts and doing things like that, he said. So its on me. The coaches keep giving me opportunities because they know what I can do... once I get the bad football eliminated.---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL href="http://www.cheapvikingsjerseyssale.com/?tag=tashawn-bower-jersey-sale" target="_blank">Tashawn Bower Jersey . Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0. Goalie Roberto Luongo, getting the call in place of Game 1 starter Carey Price, was solid when needed in making 23 saves for the shutout. Jalyn Holmes Jersey .

Kozun faked to the forehand and beat Monsters starter, Calvin Pickard, pad side in the second round for the winner. Spencer Abbott also scored in the shootout for the Marlies (25-13-4). PARIS -- Defending champion Paris Saint-Germain wasted chances in the first half and fell apart in the second as it lost 2-0 away to Toulouse on Friday.The early signs are worrying for Spanish coach Unai Emery, who has lost twice in seven league games since replacing Laurent Blanc this summer.Despite leading PSG to back-to-back domestic trebles, Blanc was fired after PSG again failed to get past the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season.Emery was hired after guiding Sevilla to three straight Europa League titles with a team focused on hard work and catching teams out on the break.But his methods are taking time to gel and he has grabbed more headlines for dropping winger Hatem Ben Arfa -- a player he signed -- for the past four games.The scenes of joy were unbridled in the Toulouse dressing room as television images showed coach Pascal Dupraz hugging club president Olivier Sadran while the players sang loudly nearby.We just beat PSG, Dupraz said. We need to continue playing like this. Its great.It has been some turnaround for Toulouse, which was anchored to the bottom of the table last season before Dupraz came in and saved the club.Toulouse stayed up after winning 3-2 on the final day of last season, whereas PSG coasted to a fourth straight title by 31 points.Midfielder Yann Bodiger, who scored the winner that kept Toulouse up, netted from the penalty spot in the 48th minute after PSG right back Serge Aurier was sent off for hauling back Sweden forward Ola Toivonen. Anthony Barr Jersey. urier had been shown a yellow card for an earlier infringement on 17-year-old goalkeeper Alban Lafont, who made two brilliant saves from striker Edinson Cavani in the first half and denied winger Angel Di Maria after the break.With just over 10 minutes remaining, PSG midfielder Thiago Motta -- lucky not to be sent off after shoving an opponent to the ground moments earlier -- made a terrible mistake as his back pass landed straight to Sweden midfielder Jimmy Durmaz, who advanced to goal and slotted into the bottom corner.PSGs defeat was more significant due to the large number of young players in the Toulouse side.Not least Lafont, whose remarkable point-blank save from Cavani in the first left the Uruguay striker shaking his head in disbelief.This season might be more difficult, said PSG midfielder Blaise Matuidi, who made it clear he wanted to leave the club during the summer transfer window. But its a long season and we will see what happens in the future.PSG dropped to third place ahead of this weekends matches, one point behind Toulouse and leader Nice, which has played a game less.
