Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano is relishing the opportunity to win his team the Super Bowl on Sunday night in San Francisco. Carolina Panthers Road to the Super Bowl While Cam Newton, Peyton Manning, the Carolina offence and the Denver defence have taken many of the headlines during Super Bowl week, the importance of a kicker cannot be underestimated.Just this season, Minnesotas Blair Walsh missed a seemingly easy chance to beat the Seattle Seahawks in the wildcard round, while New Englands Stephen Gostkowski did the unthinkable and missed for the first time in nine years in the AFC Championship game against Denver. Gano, who was born in Scotland, knows it may all come down to him at Levis Stadium, and it will not be a responsibility he shirks as Carolina chase their first ever Super Bowl success.Ive been thinking about that since I first started playing, Gano told reporters on Wednesday. I am hoping for it, so hopefully it does come down to that. I hope that every game and that is what makes my job the most fun.Everyone has their own opinions about kickers, I guess. They say they arent really football players, but it is funny - when the game is on the line, who do they look to when you are down by a couple points? Its the kicker.

One game after a miserable showing in Oklahoma City, Gay tied a career high with 41 points and the Sacramento Kings cruised to a 114-97 victory at the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. ST. LOUIS -- Adam Wainwright struggled again. His defense struggled more.Wainwright struggled for the third time in his last four starts, giving up seven runs -- only two earned thanks to two key errors -- as the St. Louis Cardinals lost to the New York Mets 10-6 on Thursday night.However, Wainwright wasnt going to let his defense shoulder the blame.Its another game that we lose in which I start and the offense scores some runs, Wainwright said. I dont know what else to say other than Ive got to keep going.Cardinals manager Mike Matheny echoed the right-handers sentiment.I wouldnt say thats the whole story, Matheny said. We had a guy throw a good game against us and they capitalized on a couple, but thats a lot of runs that youre giving up that were hit hard. We made a good push and then hit some balls hard ourselves late and just not enough.Brandon Moss hit two home runs and Jedd Gyorko and Stephen Piscotty also connected as the Cardinals tried to chip away at a 7-0 deficit. St. Louis has hit seven home runs in its last two games and has a 14-game homer streak.Wainwright (9-8) lost his glove trying to tag out Yoenis Cespedes in a bizarre play leading to the Mets four-run fifth.Cespedes tried to go from first to third on a bloop single by James Loney. When several Cardinals chased the ball, Wainwright covered third base. Cespedes slid and his cleat pinned Wainwrights glove to the bag -- he wouldve been out, but when Wainwright pulled away his hand, the mitt stayed stuck under Cespedes foot.Because Wainwright didnt control the ball, Cespedes was called safe in a ruling upheld by replay. Moments later, Alejandro De Aza hit a three-run homer to make it 7-0.He said that when I pulled out the glove, I had to show possession, Wainwright said. I dont know what else I could have done there; there was another runner on base. Ive never seen it before, never heard of it before.De Azas fifth home run of the season came an inning after his two-run single gave the Mets a 3-0 lead. The five RBI is a career-high ffor the outfielder.ddddddddddddDe Aza also made a jumping catch against the center field wall to rob Matt Carpenter of an extra base hit in the first inning.He knows his role, Mets manager Terry Collins said. He doesnt have to like it, but he accepts it and he gets himself ready.Seth Lugo (1-2) pitched five scoreless innings for his first big league win. The Mets took two of three to win their first series at Busch Stadium since 2008.Lugo gave up two hits and struck out five to earn his first win since May 10 at Triple-A Las Vegas. On Tuesday night, Mets reliever Robert Gsellman also posted his first big league win.Together, Lugo and Gsellman helped the Mets win a road series from the first time since July 22-24 in Miami.Lugo left the game with right calf cramp while warming up before the sixth. By then, hed also gotten his first hit in the majors.I dont think we were upset to see him come out of the game, even though I hope hes not injured, Moss said. Im not saying that we got some life when he came out of the game and we made a go at it, but they just kept putting runs up.James Loney got three hits and scored twice for the Mets. Loney is hitting .529 (18 for 34) against Wainwright for his career.TRAINERS ROOMMets: OF Jay Bruce (calf) was out of the lineup after leaving Wednesday nights game with cramps. ...
