PITTSBURGH -- Their momentum gone and the Pittsburgh Steelers surging behind backup quarterback Landry Jones, the New England Patriots needed something to get them going. Addison Reed Mets Jersey .They found inspiration in the usual places: LeGarrette Blounts churning legs, Tom Bradys accurate right arm and Rob Gronkowskis massive hands.Twice the undermanned Steelers needed one stop to give their offense the ball with a chance to take the lead on Sunday afternoon.And twice the Patriots instead went right down the field instead, pulling away for a 27-16 victory that left little doubt as to where the balance of power in the AFC sits as the season reaches its halfway point.The Steelers were within 14-13 when Blount broke runs of 11 and 25 yards to set up a 36-yard touchdown from Brady to Gronkowski early in the third quarter.When another Pittsburgh field goal brought Pittsburgh within four, the Patriots responded with another long touchdown drive fueled by a 37-yard catch-and-run by Gronkowski that set up Blounts second touchdown of the game.It was good to score like that and good to make plays in the second half that we needed to, Brady said. They certainly made it tough on us.Maybe, but the Steelers (4-3) also made it tough on themselves. Pittsburgh scored one touchdown in four trips to the red zone and was flagged 10 times for 85 yards, including a holding call in the second quarter that wiped out a touchdown pass that would have tied the game.Instead, Chris Boswell missed a 42-yard field goal and Pittsburgh never legitimately came close to evening the score again.You cant waste red zone trips, you have to come off blocks and make tackles in the run game, you cant give up explosion plays, we did, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. Thats why we lost.Brady, Blount and Gronkowski had plenty to do with it too. Brady completed 19 of 26 for 222 yards and two touchdowns to improve to 9-2 against Pittsburgh. Gronkowski caught four passes for 93 yards and his 68th touchdown catch, tying Stanley Morgan for the most in club history. Blount finished with 127 yards rushing and two scores against the team he walked away from 2014 .His runs were able to settle us down, New England coach Bill Belichick said of Blount.New England (6-1) remained perfect since Brady returned from his four-game Deflategate suspension and while the Patriots lost a pair of fumbles they also didnt throw an interception, making them the third team since 1960 to get through the first seven weeks of the season without throwing it to the other team, joining the 1960 Browns and 2008 Redskins.MISSED OPPORTUNITIESSteelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley hardly limited the playbook with Jones under center. The fourth-year quarterback did what Roethlisberger likes to do, particularly getting the ball to running back LeVeon Bell and wide receiver Antonio Brown.Bell finished with 149 yards of total offense and Brown caught seven passes for 106 yards, but too often Pittsburgh settled for field goals (or field goal attempts) when touchdowns were required.We just got to the red zone a lot of times and turned the ball over, you cant have that, Bell said. I mean, it is a small margin for error against a team like that.FLEET FEETThe 39-year-old quarterback who once ran the 40-yard dash at the combine in a not-so fleet 5.28 seconds can still run away from the bad guys. Brady ran for three first downs in the first half, mashing his way on a quarterback sneak and twice escaping pressure and outrunning defenders a decade or more younger for the necessary yardage.NOT-SO RELIABLENew England kicker Stephen Gostkowski missed a regular season extra point during his rookie year in 2006 and then didnt miss another one until last week against Cincinnati, an NFL record streak of 479 attempts between misfires (though there was that costly missed kick in last years AFC championship game ). Gostkowski didnt have to wait nearly as long until watching a second one go astray. Gostkowski misfired on a third-quarter extra point that kept the Steelers within seven.This is a tough place to kick, Belichick said. Im not making any excuses. The kicker on the other side of the field had trouble too.In addition to the 42-yarder he missed, Boswell misfired on a 54-yarder with the Steelers down two scores in the fourth quarter.QUOTABLEWere looking like garbage right now. This is terrible right now. -- Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier on his teams run defense.UP NEXTPatriots: visit Buffalo next Sunday. The Bills beat the Brady-less Patriots 16-0 in New England on Oct. 2.Steelers: off next week then visit AFC North rival Baltimore on Nov. 6.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- A pair of seven-footers ended up having a big night for Florida State.Michael Ojo recorded the first double-double of his career -- 13 points and 10 rebounds (both career highs) -- and Christ Koumadje had a career high 14 points as Florida State defeated Winthrop 100-86 on Friday.It makes it so much easier. When Ojo and Christ play big-time like that, it opens up so much for us, said guard Xavier Rathan-Mayes, who had seven points and nine assists.Ojo, a 7-foot-1 senior center, missed last season due to a knee injury. Nine of his points came from the line, where he has struggled in the past. Ojo made only 40.2 percent of his foul shots his first three years but was 9 of 12 on Friday and is making 75 percent (12 of 16) for the season.When I came back after my rehab this is one of the things Ive been working on consistently, Ojo said. This year I feel like I have to make them to leave something behind to be remembered about.Koumadje, a 7-foot-4 sophomore who is the tallest player in Seminoles history, got the first double-digit scoring game of his career as he was 7 of 8 from the field. During a 10-0 run in the first half that allowed FSU to take a 31-19 lead, he had a pair of alley-oop dunks off assists by Rathan-Mayes and Dwayne Bacon.Christ runs the lane so well, hes the tallest guy on our team and probably one of the fastest, Rathan-Mayes said. He puts so much pressure on defenses when he plays like that, when he plays with confidence and, like I said, he just opens up the floor for us.Dwayne Bacon led the Seminoles (3-0) with 15 points while Jonathan Isaac added 14 and Braian Angola-Rodas 11. The combination of Ojo and Koumadje allowed the Seminoles to have a 50-32 points-in-the-paint advantage.Winthrop (2-1) steadily whittled down the lead and got within 58-54 five minutes into the second half on a Fisher free throw before FSU went on a 9--0 run. Matt Harvey Jersey. I thought we settled down in second half, defended a lot better and executed well. We wore them down with our depth, Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said.Xavier Cooks led the Eagles (2-1) with 23 points while Bjorn Broman added 16 and Roderick Perkins 11.Winthrop coach Pat Kelsey said he thought Florida States size ended up wearing them down. By the five-minute mark of the second half the Eagles had four players in foul trouble.We were close enough to be semi dangerous in the second half. We missed some open looks and at the same time they keep coming at you, he said.BIG PICTUREWinthrop: Non-conference road games have been difficult for the Eagles. They have dropped 20 of their last 27 and 36 of their last 54 overall road games.Florida State: The Seminoles showed off their depth as 11 players played within the first 10 minutes with eight scoring. Ojo and Koumadje played a combined 12 minutes in Tuesdays 21-point win over Iona but played 30 on Friday.CENTURY MARKIt is only the fifth time in a regular-season game in Hamiltons 15 seasons that the Seminoles have scored in triple figures. The last time was a 109-62 victory over Nicholls State in last years opener.HE SAID ITIts like getting a couple root canals playing against their talent and athleticism, Kelsey on Florida State.UP NEXTWinthrop: The Eagles conclude a three-game road trip on Monday against Illinois. It is the fourth time in the past five years they are facing a Big Ten team.Florida State: The Seminoles host Detroit Mercy on Sunday. This marks the first time since 1994 that they are facing the Titans.---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Joe Reedy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/joereedy Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
