SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Richard Shermans leaping deflection of a pass headed for Michael Crabtree in the corner of the end zone was the defining moment to seal last Januarys NFC championship game that sent the Seattle Seahawks on their way to a Super Bowl win.The tip landed right in the hands of Malcolm Smith for the interception.Shermans mouthy response afterward — along with a choking gesture toward Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers bench — will certainly fuel San Francisco as the NFC West rivals face off Thursday night for the first of two important matchups in a three-week span.It was cool just to clinch the game like that, defensive end Cliff Avril said. No better person to do it than Sherm and Malcolm getting it.Sherman made the play, then patted Crabtree on the backside while extending his hand for a shake, prompting the 49ers wideout to shove the brash cornerback in the face.After that 23-17 victory at CenturyLink Field, Sherman took it much further.I was making sure everybody knew Crabtree was a mediocre receiver, Sherman said. And when you try the best corner in the game with a mediocre receiver thats what happens.Sherman was later fined for unsportsmanlike conduct and taunting.Obviously you want to win that game, but its in the past now, Kaepernick said. We know weve been through this before. But its a different year, a different season.Its all still plenty fresh as the rivals play another meaningful game merely 10 months later, this time between a pair of 7-4 teams trying to stay alive in the playoff race with a chance to catch first-place Arizona (9-2).I remember just the feeling after we got that interception and sealing our trip to the Super Bowl, Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner said. All that is in the past. Theyre trying to make it to the playoffs this year, just like were trying to.Kaepernick isnt about to get involved in any kind of back and forth with the emotional defensive back. He expects Crabtree to be focused, too.Its another game for him. I dont think hes worried about anything else, Kaepernick said.Here are some things to watch for in the first of two matchups between the rivals in the next three weeks:TWO GAMES IN THREE WEEKS: Seattle coach Pete Carroll is embracing how the schedule worked out, with two late-season matchups against the rival Niners in a three-week span.Two teams that have captured the past three NFC West crowns need to keep winning, though Carroll insists these games are intense regardless of records or standings.Wed still be playing these games as championship games the way we look at it, Carroll said. If we were here and our record was different than it is, we would play every one of these games like its the last game we get to play all year.Thats how we do it. ... We would never look for some cushy way into the playoffs. We dont want to be a playoff team, we want to be a division champion. So were going to continue to fight for that as long as theres hope.BEAST MODE BOUNCE BACK?: Marshawn Lynch managed just 39 yards on 15 carries in a 19-3 win against Arizona on Sunday, and needs to get his body healed up in a hurry. Quarterback Russell Wilson outgained him.His troublesome sore back has hindered him this season.Lynch ran for 124 yards the previous week facing the Chiefs and 140 the game before that against the Giants.49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, for one, is counting on Lynchs best.Beast Mode, Ive heard him referred to that complimentary, Harbaugh said. Hard. Aggressive. Tough runner. Talented.BOLDINS HANDS: Anquan Boldin has 86 receptions for 1,091 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games against Seattle, including the playoffs.Seattles secondary will have its hands full.Boldin has at least five catches in each of his past six games, and had nine for 137 yards in last weeks win against Washington.BOWMAN NO GO: NaVorro Bowman certainly hoped to be back by now, in time to face Seattle again. He went down with a devastating left knee injury in the NFC title game and needed surgery.While his 21-day window to be activated is into its second week, Harbaugh said the 2013 All-Pro still wasnt ready to practice and would continue with his rehab.I wouldnt say disappointing is the word. Obviously we want to have him back on the field, but it has to be when hes ready, when hes healthy, Kaepernick said.___AP Sports Writer Tim Booth in Seattle contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Fake China Jerseys .

Geoffrey Mutai successfully defended his title Sunday, while fellow Kenyan Priscah Jeptoo came from behind to win the womens race. Bronx resident Buzunesh Deba finished runner-up for the second straight time in her hometown event. Fans again packed the 26.2-mile course, undaunted by the events of the past year. The 2012 NYC Marathon was cancelled because of the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, but not before many New Yorkers were enraged by initial plans to hold the race. After the bombings at Aprils Boston Marathon, bomb-sniffing dogs roamed the course, and barricades limited access points to Central Park. A record 50,740 runners started the race through the five boroughs. Mutai pulled away around Mile 22 and beat Ethiopias Tsegaye Kebede by 52 seconds. On a windy morning, Mutais time of 2 hours, 8 minutes, 24 seconds was well off his course record of 2:05:06 set in nearly perfect conditions two years ago. Hes the first man to repeat in New York since Kenyas John Kagwe in 1997-98. Kebede, the London Marathon champ, clinched the $500,000 bonus for the World Marathon Majors title. South Africas Lusapho April was third. Jeptoo trailed Deba by nearly 3 1/2 minutes at the halfway point. But she started making her move as the race entered Manhattan and passed the Ethiopian with just over 2 miles to go. Jeptoo, the 2012 Olympic silver medallist and 2013 London Marathon Champ, won in 2:25:07 to clinch the $500,000 World Marathon Majors bonus. The womens race played out almost identically to the last NYC Marathon two years ago. But this time, Deba was the pursued, not the pursuer. In 2011, Mary Keitany pulled away to a big early lead, and Deba and countrywomen Firehiwot Dado chased her down. Dado, who won that day, was 14th Sunday as the defending champ. This time, Deba and training partner Tigist Tufa separated themselves right from the start. Deba wound up finishing 48 seconds behind Jeptoo, while TTufa fell back to eighth.dddddddddddd Jelena Prokopcuka of Latvia, the 2005-06 New York champ, placed third at age 37. Security was tight from the moment the runners arrived on Staten Island. They were corralled into long bag-check lines, and officers and volunteers repeatedly reminded them to keep cellphones out. "Security is 100 per cent tougher than what Ive seen at other races," said Chris Patterson of Rochester, N.Y., who was signed up for New York last year and ran Boston in April. Elizabeth Hutchinson of Seattle recalled the joy at the starting line in Boston this year. People were handing out sunscreen, Band-Aids and energy gels with a smile. On Staten Island, she said, "the machine-guns are very visible." "The atmosphere is so different," she said, "It kind of makes me sad." Charles Breslin, who lost his home in the storm and was volunteering at the marathon, welcomed the races return. "I dont know how the rest of Staten Island feels about, but it can only be a good thing," he said. "You have to get back to normalcy." As the professional women approached Central Park, only a sprinkling of onlookers stood at the police barricades. Ginny Smith, a Manhattan resident who comes to watch each year, said she felt "very frustrated." Three hours after she first arrived at the park, she was finally allowed to walk in. At Columbus Circle, near the 26th and last mile of the route, police kept her waiting for two hours. "It was difficult, it was horrible -- for something thats basically for the people," she said. "Its unbelievable; you would think there was a war in the city." Ashley OBrien of Brooklyn was ready with a bullhorn to cheer members of her running group, the Hudson Dusters. She got teary-eyed remembering the events of the past year. "Its a nice time to all come back together," she said. "You still remember why it was cancelled last year and you remember Boston. So its a little bittersweet." ' ' '
