GLENDALE, Ariz. - In the silence of the locker room, Byron Maxwell was already addressing the most important challenge Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks will face going forward.One play on Sunday night changed the story for the Seattle Seahawks.Instead of becoming the first repeat champions in a decade and having the chance to be the next NFL dynasty, the question now is whether the Seahawks can avoid becoming a fractured team because of what happened.Like I said earlier, we have to stick together, Maxwell said. Thats the most important thing right now.The fallout from Seattles 28-24 loss is only beginning and the game will be debated until the 2015 regular season begins. Facing second-and-goal at the New England 1 with less than 30 seconds remaining, the Seahawks opted for a slant pass from Russell Wilson to Ricardo Lockette, which was intercepted by Malcolm Butler, instead of handing off to Marshawn Lynch.It was a puzzling decision to call for a pass play in the situation. In the immediate aftermath, it was already being considered one of the worst play calls in Super Bowl history. Some Seahawks players were openly questioning why the ball wasnt handed to Lynch.And thats what Carroll will have to confront, to make certain what happened does not shatter what the Seahawks have built.They will still be young and fiery and talented when next season begins. But theyll also have this game hanging over them.Im not sure it does much to our legacy, cornerback Richard Sherman said. I think weve got a bunch of fourth- and fifth-year guys and well have a chance to, through Gods grace, get back here and have another chance at it.Seattle was on the cusp of pulling out one of the great Super Bowl victories. They were resilient in the first half, capped by their 31-second touchdown drive at the end of the first half to pull even at 14-14.They dominated the third quarter while building a 10-point lead. And even after watching Tom Brady pick apart Seattles defence in the fourth quarter and rally for two touchdowns, Wilson led one final drive to put the Seahawks on the doorstep of an amazing rally, including Jermaine Kearses remarkable juggling catch that is now an afterthought.It was everything Carroll has tried to build in Seattle, a team that, as Bill Belichick said earlier in the week, will play for 60 minutes.It was us. It felt like it was meant to be after Kearse caught that ball, Seattle linebacker Bruce Irvin said. It was like it was meant to be and we couldnt finish it.Theres no reason to think Seattle cant put itself in position to be playing for another championship next season due to the continuity of its defence. Most of the important pieces are locked up at least through the 2016 season, including three members of the Legion of Boom secondary: Sherman, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor.Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril and K.J. Wright are also taken care of long-term. Bobby Wagner will be in line for an extension this off-season as well.Aside from trying to shake the sting of what happened, who the Seahawks want to be going forward will be defined. Wilson will get paid this off-season, likely with one of the largest contracts ever for a quarterback.But what does Seattle do with Lynch? He was the hottest name of the Super Bowl for his antics and remains one of the most respected players in the locker room. Hell be 29 when next season starts with a history of a balky back and a cap hit of $8.5 million for the final year of his deal.Its a similar situation to last year, Carroll said. Everybody has difficult decisions you have to make this time of year. Theyll come up in time. How well make it back is one day at a time. One day at a time.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFLJosh Rosen Jersey .

Reading the numerous reports of the fan violence that unfolded in Marseille on Saturday shocked me after having a match day experience that, for the most part, I felt safe. England supporters appeared to be targeted by Marseille football hooligans whilst sitting outside a cafe at Euro 2016. I set off to the game with my brother late Saturday morning on a direct train from Beziers, a small town on the south coast, to Marseille. The two-and-a-half hour direct train terminated at Gare de Marseille-Saint-Charles, the citys main train station, at around 2pm. As soon as I got off the train, I could see a sea of England shirts alongside a smaller portion of Russia fans in their national colours. Again, from what I saw, there was no trouble at that point despite the large number of supporters mixing in a confined space.Our plan was to go from the main station on the metro to check into our accommodation in the eastern part of the city before heading down south to the fan park.A lot of England supporters, instead of taking the metro, looked to be queuing for taxis and were possibly heading towards the Old Port which would have been just a 10-minute journey. The short metro journey, again, seemed to draw zero problems.At the main station, there looked to be plenty of UEFA promotional signs saying to check out the fan park, but no real indication of where it actually was. Russians trained to fight Russian hooligans who attacked England fans in Marseille were trained to fight This lack of information may have been why so many people headed to the Old Port instead, where seemingly most England fans were located and where the centre of the fan violence was.We got off at Rond-Point du Prado, the metro station right next to the Stade Velodrome. It was also the closest station to the fan park located on Prado beach, which was a 30-minute walk from there. After checking in to our accommodation, we headed down to the beach at around 3:30pm.The walk down Avenue du Prado felt almost serene as small groups of England supporters made their way down to the fan zone. It was a peaceful atmosphere in the England fan zone on Prado beach Once there, it was a relief to see the heavy amount of security at the fan zone present. However, what I found strange was the relatively small amount of England fans.England and Russia fans had been separated into different fan zones with their own big screens, and each person was searched before they could enter.We stayed in the fan park for around four hours, taking in the sun and the extortionately priced food and drink - maybe another reason why many supporters headed to the Old Port instead - while watching the end of Albania v Switzerland and the entirety of Wales v Slovakia with hundreds of other England fans.What was surprising was not only how relaxed the entire place was, but also it looked only half full from around 5.00pm until we left for the stadium at 7.30pm. Roy Hodgson and Wayne Rooney ask Englands fan at Euro 2016 to behave so UEFA dont take action against the national side.dddddddddddd My only close encounter with trouble came just before and after the game.After the walk back up the Avenue du Prado with a mob of excited England fans, there was a chaotic meeting point at the roundabout very close to Stade Velodrome.England fans, from the fan park, were walking up from the south while those from the west were coming from the direction of the Old Port. The walk from Prado beach towards the stadium was mostly jolly The stadium was to the east and, once we reached the roundabout, tear gas could be seen drifting from the left and a lot of loud noise. Some kind of scuffle seemed to have broken out - only a few hundred yards away from the stadium.With personal safety the priority, everyone around me attempted to head for the ground, but were surprisingly being blocked off by riot police.For no explainable reason, riot police looked to be attempting to divert fans, myself included, towards the tear gas, and the trouble, rather than the stadium.Luckily, there were gap between two of the men which some were able to break through before heading to the ground. There was a tense atmosphere building with trouble reaching close to the Stade Velodrome Once outside the immense 67,000 seat stadium, tension was in the air. Each person was individually searched, and tickets were scanned, before being granted access to the ground. Loud chants from both sides caused plenty of anxious looks.Without any real way of knowing beforehand (or perhaps my own naivety), our seats happened to be located in the Russian end.Walking through the gate, the England fans were still jovial as Jamie Vardy chants and dont take me home were sung repeatedly and created what felt like a rousing atmosphere. Flares were set off just moments before the game concluded As the game progressed, from where I was sitting, there were no signs of any problems even with the occasional Russia fan sitting among England fans. It was not until Vasili Berezutskis late equaliser when matters seemed to get heated.Play was temporarily stopped as a flare was hurled onto the pitch from someone in the Russia section, quickly followed by a loud bang.Just afterwards, a notice came up on the two big screens asking Russian fans to remain seated after the game, how effective that was Im not so sure.Although I had a limited view of what was happening in the Russia section, what was shocking to me was seemingly nobody looked to have approached the men letting off the flares and fireworks. A lack of security separating England and Russia supporters There was a very thin line of security separating the fans, which looked to have completely dispersed once the final whistle blew.Just moments before referee Nicola Rizzoli blew the final whistle, there were sudden signs of movement from fans heading towards where we were sitting, which was only around 10 seats from one of the gate exits.When the final whistle blew, to the right we could see a whole wave of England fans sprinting towards the exits and climbing down from the railings to escape an increasingly violent atmosphere.Our seat position meant we were able to get out quickly and saw very few Russian fans outside the ground.For us, that was the end of any potential danger but may have been a completely different story for some who made their way towards the metro station or the city centre.
