FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The collision that knocked Aqib Talib out of the AFC championship game reverberated Monday when Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Wes Welker tried to "take out" the star cornerback. Belichick took the shot at his former wide receiver after viewing video of the second-quarter play in the Denver Broncos 26-16 win on Sunday. Coming from opposite sides, the players ran into each other. No penalty was called. It "was a deliberate play by the receiver to take out Aqib, no attempt to get open," Belichick said during his opening statement at his season-ending news conference. "Ill let the league handle the discipline on that play. Its not for me to decide, but its one of the worst plays Ive seen. Thats all Im going to say about that." NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday, "If there is any discipline for plays in (Sundays) games, it will be determined by Merton Hanks later in the week." Hanks is the leagues vice-president of player operations. Welker, who had a cool relationship with Belichick before leaving New England as a free agent last off-season, was not available for comment Monday. But after the game, he said, "it was one of those plays where its kind of a rub play and I was trying to get him to go over the top, and I think he was thinking the same thing and wanted to come underneath and we just kind of collided. ... It wasnt a deal where I was trying to hit him or anything like that." After Talib left with a knee injury, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning took advantage of having the much shorter Alfonzo Dennard covering receivers Talib normally would handle. The previous season, a thigh injury ended Talibs day in the first quarter of the AFC championship game, a 28-13 loss to Baltimore. Denver coach John Fox said he hadnt seen Belichicks comments but called Welker "a great player, high integrity. I can say that we were not doing anything with intent." Asked why he would send the 5-foot-9 Welker, 4 inches shorter, at Talib after sustaining two recent concussions, Fox said, "Thats a good question. I dont have an answer to it." But he and several Patriots said pick plays in which one receiver brushes against or hits a defender to free another receiver are becoming more prevalent. "Teams do a lot of that just to give guys separation and to open up the passing game," safety Devin McCourty said. Steve Gregory, New Englands other starting safety, said he didnt think Welker would deliberately try to hurt a player. "I dont think anybody plays that way," he said, "especially at this level of football with two great football teams in the Broncos and ourselves." Besides, Fox said, the Broncos werent the only team to run a pick play. "The umpires in that area. Its a pretty crowded area, so I think offences have tried to exploit that," he said. "Were not the only team, by any stretch. In fact, our opponent Sunday did the same thing." Welker, coming from the right, used his right arm to make contact with the left arm of Talib, who was running from the left to stay with his receiver. They collided a split-second before Mannings pass went off the hands of receiver Demaryius Thomas a few yards away. Patriots defensive end Andre Carter called it a "nasty" play. "Wes, was he doing his job? Im sure he was to a certain degree," Carter said. "(Do) I think the hit could have been cleaner? Yes." But Broncos tight end Julius Thomas was more concerned about preparing to face the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl on Feb. 2 than about Belichicks comments. "The thoughts and feelings of opposing coaches definitely dont bother me," he said. "Were worried about whats happening this week." J.J. Watt Texans Jersey . Here are his mid-season NBA awards.

Will Fuller Jersey . -- Ken Appleby made 32 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the Oshawa Generals to a 2-0 win over the Belleville Bulls on Wednesday in Ontario Hockey League action.WINNIPEG -- A terrifying few minutes with a promising young defenceman crumpled on the ice marred the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 shootout win over the St. Louis Blues on Friday. Jacob Troubas head-first crash into the boards in the second period, as he missed a hit on Blues defenceman Jordan Leopold, silenced the crowd and cleared both benches as players watched and waited. The minutes ticked by until he was wheeled off on a stretcher but he managed a wave as fans shouted his name. Just 19, the Jets top 2012 draft pick impressed his coaches at camp and fans with his aggressive all-out style. He has a goal and an assist this season. "Troubas still getting evaluated but everythings good, hes got motion, hes got everything," said Winnipeg coach Claude Noel. "I think theyre just running him through some tests to make sure everythings fine." Trouba later joked about the incident on Twitter. "Thanks for the support. If you were wondering, the boards are not edible. Ill be back soon," he said. The game also ended on a positive note for the Jets after a dodgy beginning. Olli Jokinen scored the winner and his second of the night in the seventh round to end a shootout the Jets (4-4-0) forced after overcoming a 3-1 deficit in the third. "It definitely feels good when you win those," said centre Bryan Little, who had an assist and kept the Jets in the shootout, along with captain Andrew Ladd, until Jokinens winner. "It was a good win against a good team and hopefully that gives us some confidence. ... Weve got to believe we can beat teams like this on a nightly basis." Noel agreed. "Although we were down 2-1 in the first, I thought we played a lot harder, we battled a lot harder for 60 minutes," he said. "We had opportunities to get demoralized and get discouraged a bit but I thought against a team that can really close out games like St. Louis, I thought we really stuck to the plan." Evander Kane and Tobias Enstrom, with the tying goal in the third, also scored for the Jets, while Ondrej Pavelec made 29 saves. Alexander Steen scored a pair against his hometown team as giveaways helped the Blues (5-1-1) to an early lead. David Backes also scored for the Blues, who were playing for the second time in consecutive nights after Thursdays 3-2 shootout win over Chicago. "Its not a great feeling,&qquot; said Steen, who added he took no solace in walking away with a point after giving up a 3-1 lead.dddddddddddd "We gave away this one. We were up by two late in the game. We shouldnt be giving away points like that." The Jets have been trying to overcome slow starts and seemed successful, at least at first Friday night. They were even ahead on shots but it was Backes who scored first from the slot at 8:43. T.J. Oshie fed him the puck on a little defensive slip by Grant Clitsome. It energized the Blues, but then Jokinen evened things up at 15:30 when he fired a bouncing rebound past St. Louis backup Brian Elliott, who finished with 26 saves in his first start this season. The play also gave right wing Matt Halischuk his first point as a Jet for the assist. Less than three minutes later though, Trouba whiffed on a pass and presented the puck to the Winnipeg-born Steen, as he skated into the slot to put the Blues ahead 2-1. It could have been worse. The Blues also made Winnipegs goal posts ring like church bells in the first period. Neither team scored on the power play in the first two periods, although the Jets only had one chance. St. Louis had three, two thanks to Kane, who spent some time warming the Winnipeg bench after the second. "We did a great job on the penalty kill, that was huge," said Pavelec. There were no penalties in the third but early in the period another Jets defenceman limped to the dressing room after Mark Stuart slid into his own net. Steen was perfectly positioned beside the Winnipeg net at 3:34 of the third to one-time a rebound off Backess glancing shot from the boards and make it 3-1. It looked like the game was pretty well over until Kane brought the Jets within one at 14:14, when his slapshot from outside the faceoff circle glanced off St. Louis defenceman Roman Polaks stick. Then Enstrom slammed home a pass from Dustin Byfuglien at 18:06 to tie it up. Little and Ladd connected for the Jets in the shootout and Oshie and Steen hit for the Blues, until Jokinen beat Elliott on his glove side to win the game in the seventh round.
