Meister der Farbe » ke its worse than what it was, he sai

PITTSBURGH -- His first real game in 11 months finally at hand, LeVeon Bell expected a few jitters. Or maybe a least a small sliver of rust.Nope. Maybe because the Pittsburgh Steelers running back was too busy providing a needed reminder of what he can do when hes healthy and -- perhaps just as importantly -- not in trouble with the commissioners office.His feet jitterbugging through the Kansas City Chiefs defense with alarming ease, Bell rolled up 178 yards of total offense in a 43-14 romp on Sunday night that showcased just how dangerous the Steelers can look when all of their remarkably talented parts are on the field at the same time.Its the `Juice, wide receiver Antonio Brown said. Anytime we have LeVeon out there on the field, we know the problems hes going to present to the defense.One the Chiefs (2-2) had no answer for, not after quarterback Ben Roethlisberger lit them up for four first-half touchdowns (five in all) and then let Bell get to work behind an offensive line that dominated the line of scrimmage.I was in the flow of the game, Bell said. I wasnt even thinking about (being rusty).Lining up all over the field in a variety of formations, Bell caught five passes for 34 yards and ran for 144 yards on 18 carries, including a 44-yard zig-zag in the fourth quarter that highlights Bells unique combination of patience and agility.We asked him to do a lot, Roethlisberger said. Not just be a running back and run the ball. But we put him in motion. We put him at wide receiver. We threw screens to him. We did a lot. And thats the confidence and faith we have in him and his ability.Considering he missed the second half of 2015 with a torn MCL in his right knee and the first three games of this season while serving a suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy, Bell wasnt exactly going to be picky about how he was used. Simply being out there and looking like the player who was an All-Pro in 2014 was enough.I just missed it, Bell said.And the Steelers missed him, recovering from a 31-point loss to Philadelphia the week before by handing Kansas City its worst setback in Andy Reids three-plus years on the job.Any time you get blown out, you want to respond, Brown said.STAR WATCH: Roethlisberger was held in check in a 34-3 meltdown at Philadelphia. A week later, he had as many touchdown passes as incompletions while going 22 of 27 for 300 yards and a quarterback rating of 152.5. Two of Roethlisbergers passes went to Brown while Markus Wheaton, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Jesse James caught one each.When you have a Hall of Fame quarterback, it looks good like that, center Maurkice Pouncey said.Brown boosted his career touchdown reception total to 42 and paid tribute to legendary golfer Arnold Palmer (a western Pennsylvania native) by wearing a pair of cleats that featured Palmers image.SLOPPY SLOPPY: A week after forcing the New York Jets into eight turnovers, the Chiefs got careless with the ball. The game turned in the first quarter when Spencer Ware fumbled in Kansas City territory to set up one touchdown and Smiths ill-advised screen pass was tipped and picked off to set up another.That game got out of hand early, Smith said.Kansas City will have plenty of time to figure out what went wrong. The Chiefs are off next week before traveling to Oakland on Oct. 16.Hats off to (the Steelers) for bouncing back after getting their tail whipped, Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce said. We have to do the same thing here over the bye. Tonight it was rough to go through this.GANG GREENE: Pittsburghs struggling defense received an impassioned pregame pep talk from Hall of Fame linebacker Kevin Greene, who was given the Ring of Excellence during a halftime ceremony. Whatever Greene said worked. The Steelers finished with four sacks -- three more than they had in their first three games combined -- and harassed Smith up and down Heinz Field.COSTLY WIN: While Kansas City escaped with just one players status uncertain after running back Knile Davis was evaluated for a concussion, the Steelers will prepare for a visit from the Jets with the status of several starters to be determined. Right tackle Marcus Gilbert (foot) and linebacker Jarvis Jones (ankle) left and did not return. Wide receiver Heyward-Bey is dealing with a shoulder problem and reserve linebacker Anthony Chickillo exited with a left knee injury.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFLChris Lindstrom Womens Jersey .

The judges scored it 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 for Jones (19-1). It was the champions closest call. Despite the loss, it was a remarkable show by the confident Swedish challenger, who had the best of the early rounds and then hung on in the fourth and fifth.

Wall is healthy again after having surgery on each knee, and Beal is fresh off signing a $128 million, five-year contract that ranked among the richest in the NBA this offseason.Wall conceded during the summer that he and Beal have a tendency to dislike each other on the court. Its a point of tension but one they say wont create cracks in the Wizards franchise foundation.Were just two competitive people, Wall said recently. Whenever you have your two best players and they both want the game-winning shot and want those type of plays, youre going to have disagreements on the court. But other than that, were fine.Wall and Beal are coming off career highs in points and a low in team success as Washington finished .500 and missed the playoffs after two consecutive postseason appearances. New coach Scott Brooks is in the midst of installing a defense-first mentality and is counting on Wall and Beal to set the tone there.To be leaders defensively, Wall and Beal have to be on the same page. They say they are, even if sometimes they argue like brothers.We both realize that thats whats important here: us winning games, us being leaders of a team and us growing as a backcourt together, Beal said. Im going to be here another five years; hes going to be here for hopefully the rest of his career, as well. We have a great system, a great team, our chemistrys great. Me and John are fine, and were going to be in the rankings of the best backcourts.The Wizards dont usually make those rankings, and being overlooked is something that motivates Wall and Beal. Brooks, who doesnt minnd healthy disagreements and believes they are a sign of a strong team, wants his top players to be fueled by slights but not distracted by them.ddddddddddddYou still want to play with a chip on your shoulder, Brooks said Tuesday. Every team has talent and every team has a lot of skilled players, but when you have a guy like Brad and John, you want that. You want that in them. Thats what gets them going.Wall and Beal push each other as much as anything, even if that can cause friction. Wall just wants to downplay the effect that friction has on the Wizards success.With Brad, people want to put words in your mouth and make it seem like its worse than what it was, he said. Nah. We all knew Brad was going to get paid a certain contract and he deserves it. All I said is the same thing I did -- when I got paid, everybody said oh I didnt deserve it. We just got to go and prove it.I think when hes healthy, hes proven that he can play in this league. He can be an all-star, he can be one of the best two-way players.Wall will get eased into another prove-it season and expects to play around 32 minutes in the Wizards opener Thursday at the Atlanta Hawks. With Brooks wanting to keep Walls minutes in the low-30 range, hed also like the 23-year-old Beal to take over some more of the ball-distribution responsibilities and create for teammates as much as he looks for his own shot.We have a lot of players that can make plays, Brooks said. I think Brad has really improved in that area. Thats one of the things Ive challenged him when I first took over the job in May is to be a better playmaker. I think he can be one of the best two-way off guards in the league. That growth has to happen. ' ' '
