PITTSBURGH -- Every week a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers support staff lines the hallway leading to the teams locker room with photos taken from the previous weeks game. Iman Marshall Jersey .This week was no different, even though the pickings were slim and included shots of punter Jordan Berry and backup linebacker Anthony Chickillo. Getting handed the franchises worst loss in 27 years -- a 31-point meltdown against Philadelphia -- has a way of limiting your options.Even 48 hours after a three-hour reality check that put the brakes on his teams promising start, coach Mike Tomlin was hardly in a mood to search for any sliver of a silver lining.We got our butts kicked, Tomlin said on Tuesday.A whipping that magnified cracks in the defensive front seven that Pittsburghs offense was able to gloss over through the seasons opening two weeks. The Steelers (2-1) barely laid a hand on Philadelphia quarterback Carson Wentz and put on an exhibition of poor tackling that turned modest gains into big ones .We do it hard, Tomlin said. We need to do it smarter than what we displayed on Sunday.Particularly with Kansas City (2-1) coming to Heinz Field this weekend. Eagles coach Doug Pederson is a protege of Chiefs coach Andy Reid and the series of screens and misdirection passes Philadelphia used so effectively are just Pedersons own riff on the West Coast offense Reids teams have been using for years.Making Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith uncomfortable would help, though the Steelers have not been able to create any sort of sustained pressure. They have just one sack through three games, dead last in the league, and that was a sack in name only when linebacker Arthur Moats touched down Andy Dalton on a scramble for no gain in Week 2.There is room for improvement all around, defensive end Cam Heyward said. Whether its pass rush, not tackling well, not rallying to the screens better, not winning third downs.Or avoiding major penalties, like the three 15-yard flags the Steelers incurred on defense against Philadelphia, miscues that led directly to Eagles scores.Be it a late hit, a roughing the passer or a facemask, you cant give up 15-yard penalties during the course of drive play, Tomlin said. It just makes getting off extremely difficult.Tomlin was hardly laying blame strictly at the feet of his defense. He pointed the finger at the coaching staff for a poor game plan poorly executed and an offense that was held to its lowest point total in five years. Help will arrive on Sunday when running back LeVeon Bell returns from a three-game suspension.Dont expect Tomlin to slowly work Bell back into the mix. Bell missed the first two games of 2015 due to a suspension and touched the ball 26 times in a Week 3 victory over the Rams.Well see how sharp he is physically once we get him out on the practice field and kind of go from there, Tomlin said. But, rest assured youre going to see LeVeon Bell, and probably a lot of him on Sunday.Whether a handful of starters will join Bell in the lineup remains uncertain. Guard Ramon Foster is dealing with an elbow injury. Ryan Shaziers balky right knee acted up on Sunday and rookie safety Sean Davis back is aching. While Foster and Shazier could conceivably play without practicing, Davis wont be afforded the same luxury. With safety Robert Golden battling a hamstring issue, Pittsburgh could be shorthanded in the secondary, placing even more onus on the defensive line to get to Smith.Whoever is out there will have to play better -- much better -- than what transpired in Philadelphia. Then again, the Steelers have proven resilient when on the wrong ends of blowouts. In 2012 they opened with a 28-point loss to Baltimore and went 12-4. In 2014, the Browns drummed them by 20-3 and Pittsburgh won 8 of 10 to capture the AFC North. Even in 1989 -- when the Steelers were outscored by a combined 92-10 in opening losses to Cincinnati and Cleveland -- they rallied to make the playoffs.We have a great group of guys in all three phases, linebacker Arthur Moats said. Were all going to correct our issues and were going to make sure that that gets off of the tape real quick.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Justice Hill Ravens Jersey .

From Pierre LeBrun While Anaheim GM Bob Murray said earlier this season he was not going to trade Jonas Hiller despite the fact hes an unrestricted free agent on July 1, some sources have told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun that Murray might be willing to move another goalie. Justin Tucker Youth Jersey .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Ray-Lewis-Jersey/ . -- Five former Kansas City Chiefs players who were on the team between 1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the team hid and even lied about the risks of head injuries during that time period when there was no collective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL. Donald Tiripano makes for an unlikely, everyday cricketing hero. Well under six feet tall, he occasionally tops 130kph with the ball and just about holds his own the bat, without getting too bolshy. But against West Indies at Queens Sports Club on Saturday afternoon, he showed his mettle as a cricketer and became just the hero Zimbabwe needed. With six deliveries in the final over Tiripano sparked the unlikeliest of comebacks, taking three wickets and giving away just three runs to help Zimbabwe tie.To me, it was my dream, Tiripano said, holding back welling emotions. I was talking to myself, saying. This is the chance Ive been waiting for since I was a little kid. I grew up playing cricket in the streets. I was just thinking about that. Thinking Just be positive. Nothing to fear. Just express yourself. That positivity and that faith ... I just thank God for this. Its great for me. Its something that many wish for in their lives, to save a match for their country. Its a blessing.He had opened the bowling earlier, trapping Johnson Charles lbw with an inducker before the opener could really get going. His opening spell of 1 for 24 was useful, but not flashy - and certainly gave no indication of the heroics that would come later, when he was called upon by his captain Graeme Cremer to bowl the final over of this match, with just four runs to defend. With his second ball, he had the dangerous, World T20-winning Carlos Brathwaite caught at long on. With his third, he ran Ashley Nurse out by deflecting a firm drive from Jason Holder back onto the non-strikers stumps.Suddenly, hope surged. After a leg bye, he might have had Jonathan Carter caught in the deep, but Chamu Chibhabha couldnt quite get to the chance despite a stupendous effort. The batsmen crossed, levelling the scores. It all came down to the final delivery, and when Tiripano beat Holders drive with a full, wide slower ball and PJ Moor threw down the stumps, the Zimbabweans unleashed their unrestrained joy. This wasnt a win, but it sure felt like one.[Cremer] just said Back yourself, and do what youve been doing before, Tiripano explained after the breathless finish to the game. So I just backed myself to bowl that slower ball, that I usually know is difficult to hit. Keep it simple. I didnt want to use too many variations, just that slower ball because there was assistance from the wicket. So I didnt have to bowl yorkers or anything. Just use the wicket to help me.I tried to bowl that last ball fuller, because there wasnt much pace in the wicket so it would be difficult to hit over the top. I bowled it ffuller, and he didnt hit it. Miles Boykin Ravens Jersey. Im just so happy we managed to pull out a tie, out of nothing.Then there was his batting. Tiripano was the only member of Zimbabwes bottom seven to reach double figures, and he took them past 250 and to their highest ODI score this year with a clean six (his first in ODIs) off Shannon Gabriel, the quickest bowler in this tri-series. I knew before he bowled that the ball would be fuller, because hed bowled a few back-of-a-length deliveries, Tiripano explained with nonchalance. So I just anticipated before the ball was bowled. I was right there to hit it.Tiripanos resistance was emblematic of the spirit shown by the Zimbabwean side today, which left coach Heath Streak a very proud man. Im proud of the fact that they never gave up, Streak said. They managed to claw it back. It was excellent. Those last seven or eight overs were brilliant. The guys took it to the wire. Cricket is funny. If you take it into the last over, its amazing what can happen with that pressure.Probably in the last three overs, I started thinking: We can do this, Streak added. We got a couple of wickets, and I knew Brathwaite and the skipper Holder can hit a long ball, so I was always worried about the damage they can do. But the wicket was pretty tough. It was gripping and I thought Mpofu and Williams bowled really well. And then obviously Donald bowled that last over really well under pressure. He bowled some superb balls. Im very proud of how they fought.Yet Streak was also realistic about the areas in which Zimbabwe fell short today. They missed three chances off centurion Shai Hopes bat, and their fumbles in the field dissipated the pressure being built up on the batsmen.We know that were better than what we showed in the field, Streak said. Thats the only disappointment. We dropped opportunities and we had a lot of fumbles. We know were better than that. Its something I know the guys are going to have to work on, getting those fielding standards up, but the fact that we were able to tie and not have had our best day in the field is probably a good omen for us, because we know weve still got room for improvement.Despite todays tie, weve still got a lot of work to do to get ourselves to the final, Streak added. Monday (against Sri Lanka) is an important game for us. Weve just to make sure we come out with that same positivity. We have a big game on Monday, but weve got to take it one over at a time, one ball at a time. ' ' '
