PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Trailing lowly Tennessee by 11 points in the third quarter on Monday night, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive co-ordinator Todd Haley did something curious.He stuck with the run.Rather than abandoning the gameplan and relying on quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to bail the Steelers out — again — Haley remained confident that if Roethlisberger kept turning around and giving the ball running back LeVeon Bell, good things would keep happening.They did, and then some.Legs churning relentlessly behind an offensive line that relished the chance to simply put its head down and mash forward, the Steelers rode Bell to a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns and an even more impressive game-ending drive in which they chewed up the final 6:58 behind their budding second-year star.Bell ran for 128 of his career-high 204 yards in the second half, including 49 on Pittsburghs final possession.We want to go out there and stay aggressive, and the line did a great job opening holes, Bell said. And the entire offence executed, so we were able to move the chains. We wanted to run the clock down as far as we could, and we were able to run it down all the way. It was a great drive.Even if good friend LeGarrette Blount didnt stick around for all of it.Blount jogged to the locker room in the final seconds, annoyed that he failed to register a carry for the first time all season. Pittsburgh responded by cutting Blount on Tuesday. While Bell said he was surprised at the decision he understands Blounts misstep would have made it hard for him to re-establish trust in the locker room as the Steelers (7-4) try to emerge from the crowded AFC North.There were some things that you cant do, and that was one of them, Bell said. When you push those buttons, thats what happens.The Steelers signed Blount last spring to help take some of the burden off Bell. It might not be necessary. The 22-year-old Bell doesnt seem to be phased by one of the NFLs heaviest workloads. He has 252 combined touches through 11 games, including 57 receptions, already a club record for the most catches in one season by a running back.Oh, to be young again, Haley joked. When everybody else was dragging around, he had a bounce in his step after the game. So, hes got energy, and well give him what he can take.Thats fine by Bell, who now finds himself the most experienced back left on the roster ahead of rookies Dri Archer, Josh Harris and LaDarius Perkins, signed Wednesday.I really dont feel any additional pressure, Bell said. This is what Ive trained for all along. Im ready for whatever they need me to do. I worked hard in the off-season and training camp to prepare myself for this time.Bell delivered a series of punishing blows while lowering his broad shoulders into Tennessee defenders Monday night while recording the NFLs highest single-game rushing total this season.Two weeks after Roethlisberger set a league record by throwing for six scores in consecutive games, the pendulum swung back the other way. With Roethlisberger under heavy pressure from the Titans, Haley decided to instead force Tennessee onto its heels by having Bell careen into gaping holes.We put a lot on him going into the game, and that was part of the plan offensively, Haley said. We all knew it, and he knew it. And he took it and ran with it, pardon the pun. He ran hard and got a lot of yards after contact.The Steelers ran for 206 yards and passed for 207 against the Titans, the kind of balance head coach Mike Tomlin was sure would come when the moment required.Pittsburgh gets a week off before a five-game sprint to end the regular season. Despite losses to the Jets and Tampa Bay, the Steelers find themselves surging behind a back that considers himself a workaholic, albeit a pragmatic one. Bell insists he will always run hard. Now hes learning how to run smart too.Youve got to find a way to get to the ground, Bell said. Thats really the biggest thing. Instead of getting hit by 2-3 guys, just get hit by one. If you cant get away, just go down. Or dont get hit at all. Step out if you get a chance, once youve gained all the yardage you need. If I can minimize the hits, Ill be fine.___AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL michael kors boxing day canada .ca.

PANAMA CITY -- Chioma Ubogagu scored the winner in the 88th minute as the United States beat Canada 2-1 in the final of the CONCACAF U-20 womens soccer tournament on Sunday. Ubogagu just got her foot on a teammates cross into the box and beat goaltender Sabrina DAngelo, who had an excellent game for Canada. The game was essentially for bragging rights as both teams already qualified for the FIFA U-20 Womens World Cup in Japan. Canada advanced with a 6-0 rout of host Panama on Friday. Canadian head coach Andrew Olivieri says his team played with plenty of motivation, despite having already earned their berth in the semifinal. "Canada-U.S. is always a big rivalry, theres no doubt they could get up for that," Olivieri said. "For us, it was part of the preparation for the World Cup." Canada went up 1-0 in the fifth minute as Vancouvers Jenna Richardson intercepted the ball and scored unassisted. The U.S. dominated possession for the rest of the half and kept the ball in the Canadian end almost the entire time, but Canadas defence anchored by DAngelo held on. DAngelo continued heer solid play in the second half, saving a dangerous header early then an uncontested shot in the 58th minute.dddddddddddd The Americans got a deserved equalizer in the 78th minute as striker Maya Hayes brought the ball down in the penalty area and placed a shot past DAngelo, setting the table for Ubogagus winner. They ware the only goals Canada conceded in the tournament. "We really put some emphasis on defence going into the tournament," said Olivieri. "We knew if we were nice and solid at the back, then our play can get us a few goals. So I cant say enough about everybody throughout the tournament thats played at the back. We rotated eight or nine players there and theyve all really stood out." The FIFA U-20 Womens World Cup begins Aug. 18, giving Olivieri the time he needs to further ready his squad. "Were far from being ready," he adds. "Weve only been together for under a month now. We got the girls started little late but this was three to four weeks work and were really excited with what I guess you could say is our starting point." ' ' ' Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping
