The Steelers' star running back churned out 179 yards and a touchdown in a performance reminiscent of January's playoff victory over Kansas City. And Antonio Brown made an acrobatic touchdown catch in the fourth quarter to help Pittsburgh hand the Chiefs a 19-13 loss — their first of the season.
" said Bell,"The biggest thing for us is getting wins, who drew a flag for celebrating his score by throwing haymakers at the goal-post stanchion. "As a team, we find ways to get wins."

But after the Steelers (4-2) gave up a first down, James Harrison sacked Alex Smith on third-and-10, and the quarterback's incomplete pass on fourth down left the NFL with no unbeaten teams.
" said Chiefs coach Andy Reid,"We straightened a few things out the second half. That's how we got back in the game, who will no doubt be questioned for going for it on fourth-and-2 at the Steelers 4 early in the fourth quarter, rather than kicking a field goal to get within 12-6.
Smith's throw to the end zone fell incomplete and the Steelers took possession.
"My gut tells me what to do. I thought that was the right thing there," Reid said. "I'm preaching to the team to stay aggressive without being stupid, staying aggressive with it. We had a good play in our pocket that we felt good about. It didn't work out."
Very little worked out for the Chiefs on Sunday.

Nick Novak kicked a 32-yard field goal on the final play of the game and the Chargers took advantage of a key missed extra point by Giorgio Tavecchio after a bad snap to beat the Oakland Raiders 17-16 on Sunday.

That happens. I wish I would have made that. But more importantly, you've got to bounce back and make all those extra points

ALAMEDA, if any,Authentic Leonard Williams Jersey, Calif. (AP) -- Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was limited for a second consecutive practice Friday and coach Jack Del Rio declined to say what,Womens Joe Namath Jersey, role Carr will have this weekend against the Baltimore Ravens.
Carr broke a bone in his back late in the third quarter of Oakland's 16-10 loss in Denver this past Sunday. He was initially diagnosed with back spasms but the injury was later revealed to be a transverse process fracture.
Earlier this week,Authentic Howie Long Jersey, Del Rio indicated that Carr would miss the Baltimore game and possibly up to six weeks but the fourth-year quarterback was cleared for light practice Thursday and Friday and is listed as questionable.
Carr leads a long list of players on the injury list. Del Rio declined to discuss any of them.
''Before you even have to ask,Authentic Khalil Mack Jersey,'' Del Rio said. ''I'm not going to really talk about injuries and what we may and may not do or who we may or may not play or when and all that kind of stuff,Womens Derek Carr Jersey, there are a lot of question marks on the injury report and that's what they are, when we're going to utilize people. Not going to get into all of that.
''We do have a number of people who are questionable. We have time before we tee it up. They'll remain a question mark until we make the final decision.''
The Raiders have already named EJ Manuel as the starter for Sunday. The 16th overall pick in 2013, Manuel has started seven games since his rookie season and will be tasked with trying to jump-start an offense that has been held to 10 points in each of the last two weeks.
''I've been in this situation before even when I was in college, when Tyrod (Taylor) became the starter,Womens Bo Jackson Jersey,'' Manuel said. ''Then when I was in Buffalo,Womens Leonard Williams Jersey, still just being ready as the backup. It kind of puts me in familiar territory.''
Connor Cook,Authentic Joe Namath Jersey,a fourth-round draft pick in 2016,Womens Howie Long Jersey,also is on the roster but has been inactive in each of Oakland's first four games.
The Raiders have been mostly quiet regarding Carr's status this week,Authentic Derek Carr Jersey, although left tackle Donald Penn told reporters Thursday that the quarterback was ahead of schedule in his recovery.
It's conceivable that Carr could suit up for the Ravens game as the team's emergency quarterback, but Del Rio isn't saying.
''We prefer to keep our business in house,Authentic Bo Jackson Jersey, '' Del Rio said.
Cornerback David Amerson has cleared the NFL concussion protocol, Womens Khalil Mack Jersey, according to Del Rio. Like Carr, Amerson was limited in practice and is questionable.
Notes: Right guard Gabe Jackson (foot), cornerback Gareon Conley (shin) and running back DeAndre Washington (hamstring) were limited in practice and are questionable. Jackson had not practiced at all this week.
The Chargers plan to present a united front before Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, agreeing Friday to stand and link arms during the national anthem at StubHub Center.
Chris McCain,Womens Jacoby Brissett Jersey,While most players and coaches stood and linked arms during the anthem before last Sunday’s game, Damion Square,Authentic Jordan Richards Jersey, five defensive linemen — Brandon Mebane, Darius Philon and Tenny Palepoi — sat or kneeled to draw attention to racism and social injustice and rebuff criticism from President Trump for their actions.
the guys wanted to do something to show we were against divisive remarks by anybody and to stand together as one unit,Womens James White Jersey,“We just want to get back to playing football and get the politics out,” coach Anthony Lynn said. “Last week, and we decided to stick with it.”
he said,Lynn expects all players and coaches to stand and link arms, but when asked if everyone agreed, “Yes … for the most part.”
” Lynn said. “If that’s the way they choose to express themselves,If players choose to kneel or sit, “That’s on them, we support them 100%.”
There seemed to be a consensus Friday among the players.
” Mebane said. “I don’t know if 100% will do it, we all decided to link arms,“Obviously, things are not where we want them to be at right now, that was the plan coming out of our team meeting.”, but as a team, but right now
said he will stand,McCain, who was outspoken in his remarks about Trump last Sunday, though it appears with some reluctance.
so I’m just gonna keep my mouth closed,“No good will come out of commenting on it,” McCain said. “I respect my coach. It’s his decision. It’s what he wants.”
like many NFL teams,Womens Everson Griffen Jersey,The Chargers, Womens Joe Thuney Jersey,also have discussed ways to affect the community in a positive way. Lynn plans to meet with Los Angeles Police Dept. officers and perhaps go on a ride-along on next Tuesday’s off day in an effort to “improve police relationships in different communities.”
a Los Angeles native who witnessed the riots in the wake of the 1992 Rodney King verdict as a child and attended Crenshaw High,Womens Malcom Brown Jersey,Mebane, plans to sponsor reading programs for kids at his elementary school and conduct nutrition programs at his middle school.
” said Mebane,Womens Jordan Richards Jersey,“I was eating pizza and nachos every day in middle school, Authentic James White Jersey,a former Seattle Seahawks lineman who recently adopted a plant-based diet. “I found out [later] that that was a problem.”
Mebane recalled flying into LAX during a bye week a few years ago and counting 30 fast-food restaurants during the seven-mile drive to his parents’ house.
“We counted one or two grocery stores,” Mebane said. “We have all these fast-food restaurants and no organic restaurants. We have to let the youth know there are different ways of eating healthy.”
Mebane balked at the idea of riding along with LAPD officers but is eager to promote any community-based policing efforts.
things like that,“Before the riots, no matter what … we’d see them as the enemy because of different things that happened with harassment, the police tried to get close to the community., there was tension in the African-American community with the police — every time we’d see an officer,” Mebane said. “After the riots
go to their trunk and give us big long sheets of Dodgers baseball cards. That was a way for them to connect with the community. I thought that was actually a good thing,“We’d be outside playing, and years later, the cops would stop their car, that kind of went away.”
Etc.
Running back Melvin Gordon (knee), Authentic Jacoby Brissett Jersey,but we decided he needs more time, was a limited practice participant this week but is ruled out for Sunday. “He was close, right tackle Joe Barksdale (foot), out since May because of a herniated disk in his lower back, linebacker Hayes Pullard (knee) and tight end Sean McGrath (foot) were full participants in Friday’s light practice and listed as questionable for Sunday’s game. Lynn expects Gordon and Barksdale to play and said Pullard will be a game-time decision. … Rookie receiver Mike Williams, Authentic Malcom Brown Jersey, has been ruled out of Sunday’s game because of a calf injury.,Authentic Joe Thuney Jersey,” Lynn said. … Philadelphia defensive tackle Fletcher Cox,Authentic Everson Griffen Jersey,who has two sacks this season and is considered one of the Eagles’ best defenders

FOXBOROUGH,Womens Sean Taylor Jersey, Mass. (AP) -- To say that Tom Brady was unhappy about what transpired at the end of New England's 2013 loss at Carolina would be an huge understatement.
Cam Newton had just led the Panthers on an 83-yard touchdown drive to put his team in front 24-20 with 59 seconds to play. But Brady came right back, and marched the Patriots to
the Carolina 18 with 3 seconds left.
Brady dropped back on the game's final play and lofted a pass into the end zone in the direction of Rob Gronkowski as time expired. Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly was covering
the tight end, and never turned toward the ball. But he reached out and bear-hugged Gronkowski - taking him out of the play.
A flag was thrown for pass interference. But after a brief discussion among officials, it was picked up. The ball was deemed uncatchable by Gronkowski.
''There is no foul on the play,'' referee Clete Blakeman announced to cheers from Panthers fans and stunned looks from Patriots. ''The game is over.''
Brady took off his helmet and chased after officials as they walked off the field. Cameras picked up the quarterback yelling an expletive as he pleaded his case to deaf ears.
'' Brady recalled Wednesday. ''I wish we'd have gotten that call. It would have been a fun next play,''I wasn't very positive. I don't think I said very nice things to him, I'll
tell you that.''
Sunday will mark the first meeting between the teams since that debated finish. Four years have passed, but Kuechly said he knows he likely received a gift that night from the
officials.
''I might have got away with one there,Authentic Reuben Foster Jersey,'' he said. ''I'm not even gonna act like I didn't. I might have got away with one.''
Told of Kuechly's comments, Brady shrugged.
too,''Oh,Womens Amari Cooper Jersey, man. Let's replay that one then,Authentic Joe Montana Jersey,'' he said. ''That was a tough game.''
Brady and the Patriots likely won't be in a giving mood this time around,Womens Jerry Rice Jersey, especially after they needed a late rally to beat Houston last week .
Sunday brings in a Panthers team that ranks No. 1 in total defense despite giving up 34 points in last week's loss to New Orleans.
''Cam's one of the great players in the league and they got a great defense,Womens Reuben Foster Jersey,'' Brady said. ''They run the ball. They've got some good receivers. It's a tough matchup.''
The rosters for both teams have undergone significant changes since 2013, Authentic Amari Cooper Jersey,though several key players from that final play still remain.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said the passage of time should give everyone a clean slate to work with. But even in victory one lesson he learned from 2013 was that they ''left too
much time on the clock for Tom Brady.''
who played his college ball at Boston College,Kuechly, ordinarily might expect to receive at least a modest embrace from Boston fans during his return to New England. Now he's
thinking a hostile environment is more likely.
'' Kuechly said. ''But,Womens Joe Montana Jersey, ''I'm sure somebody will say something to me, I've spent some time up there and I know what those fans are like. They love football ... that'll be funny.
We'll see what happens.''

BOSTON -- Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez had a severe case of the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy, researchers said on Thursday. His lawyer announced a lawsuit against the NFL and the team for hiding the true dangers of the sport.
Dr. Ann McKee, the director of the CTE Center at Boston University, said Hernandez had Stage 3 (out of 4) of the disease, which can cause violent mood swings, depression and other cognitive disorders .
"We're told it was the most severe case they had ever seen for someone of Aaron's age," attorney Jose Baez said.
Hernandez killed himself in April in the prison cell where he was serving a life-without-parole sentence for murder. Baez said Hernandez had shown signs of memory loss, impulsivity and aggression that could be attributed to CTE.
"When hindsight is 20-20,Womens Golden Tate III Jersey, you look back and there are things you might have noticed,Authentic Adam Thielen Jersey," he said. "But you don't know."
CTE, which can only be diagnosed in an autopsy,Womens Ryan Kerrigan Jersey, has been found in former members of the military , football players and boxers and others who have been subjected to repeated head trauma. A recent study found signs of the disease in 110 of 111 NFL players whose brains were inspected.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court claimed that the league and Patriots failed to protect their players' safety, leading to the disease that deprived Hernandez's 4-year-old daughter, Avielle, of her father's companionship.
"Defendants were fully aware of the dangers of exposing NFL players, such as Aaron, to repeated traumatic head impacts," the lawsuit said. "Yet, defendants concealed and misrepresented the risks of repeated traumatic head impacts."
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league had not yet seen the lawsuit and could not comment. A Patriots spokesman did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
The league recently agreed to pay $1 billion to retired players who claimed it misled them about the dangers of playing football.
The "loss of consortium" lawsuit filed on Thursday is independent of the class-action suit that began making payments this summer. Baez said it was the first of its kind.
"If we have to be groundbreakers in this area, it's something we're prepared to do," he said.
Hernandez committed suicide just hours before his former teammates visited the White House to celebrate their latest Super Bowl victory and a week after he was acquitted in the 2012 drive-by shootings of two men in Boston.
Prosecutors had argued that Hernandez gunned the two men down after one accidentally spilled a drink on him in a nightclub,Authentic Golden Tate III Jersey, and then got a tattoo of a handgun and the words "God Forgives" to commemorate the crime.
Hernandez did not raise CTE in his defence at either trial because he claimed actual innocence.
" Baez said.,Womens Calais Campbell Jersey,"It's something I deeply regret

One thing the NHL has gotten right -- and really set the template for with other leagues -- is the replay.
to the coach's challenge,adidas Ryan McDonagh jersey, to the angles,authentic Cory Schneider jersey,From the mandatory reviews, to off-side,authentic Taylor Hall jersey, there's very little to quibble with. Goals count that ought to count. Goals don't count that ought not to count.
Which brings us to the NBA. I don't quite understand in this modern day of technology how the Toronto Raptors didn't get to overtime,adidas Travis Hamonic jersey, and how the game officials overturned a tying basket because in their mind the clock should have started -- what?
