PITTSBURGH -- Julius Peppers picked up the ball, turned toward the wide swath of open field in front of him and took off. Sure, the Chicago Bears defensive end admits he doesnt have the "blazing speed" of his youth. The way the Pittsburgh Steelers are backpedaling these days, it was hardly required. Peppers scooped up a Ben Roethlisberger fumble and ran 42 yards with just under 4 minutes remaining to clinch a 40-23 victory Sunday night that kept the Bears (3-0) perfect. "I happened to be at the right place at the right time and the ball bounced to me," Peppers said. "I got a hand on it and took it in, so there wasnt much else to talk about. That was the longest run I had with the ball, yes, I will tell you that." The Bears forced five turnovers in all, converting four of them into points to stave off a second-half rally by the Steelers (0-3). Pittsburgh trimmed a 21-point deficit to four in the fourth quarter but couldnt stop from stumbling to the franchises worst start since 2000. Roethlisberger completed 26 of 41 passes for 406 yards and threw two touchdowns to Antonio Brown, but also fumbled twice and threw two interceptions. "We cant, I cant, turn the ball over, plain and simple," Roethlisberger said. Major Wright returned an interception 38 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter and Peppers stroll to the end zone capped kept Chicago unbeaten. The Bears needed a pair of fourth-quarter rallies to win their first two games, but never trailed against Pittsburgh thanks to a defence that specializes in havoc. "We came in here and got the job done," Peppers said. "They got close down the stretch, but we have veterans on our team that stayed cool. We dont panic no matter what." Jay Cutler passed for 159 yards and threw a 17-yard touchdown strike to Earl Bennett with just under 6 minutes remaining to give the Bears breathing room after the Steelers pulled within 27-23 on Shaun Suishams 44-yard field goal with 10:43 to play. Chicagos offence, which generated little after a 17-point outburst in the first quarter, responded behind Cutler. The quarterback scrambled for 13 yards on third-and-10 to start the drive. Cutler then hit Brandon Marshall for 41 yards on third-and-12 to move into Pittsburgh territory. Facing third-and-5 at the Pittsburgh 17, Cutler found Bennett in the back corner of the end zone. Officials ruled the pass was incomplete, but the play was overturned after replays showed Bennett deftly dragged his right foot before sliding out of bounds. "The (defensive) back was there, but the throw was perfect and I was able to make the play," Bennett said. "The way we played in the fourth quarter, that really shows how resilient we are." Pittsburgh tried to get back into the game, but Lance Briggs stripped Roethlisberger, and Peppers pounced. The veteran defensive end followed a parade of blockers down the sideline for Chicagos second defensive score of the night and third in two weeks. "We try to scoop up every loose ball and run it back for a touchdown in practice," linebacker D.J. Williams said. "Even if its not a fumble, we pick it up and go with it. We knew they had some problems with their offensive line, so we wanted to pressure them as much as possible. We were able to get past their tackles and pressure Ben quite a bit. Roethlisbergers second interception on a late stat-padding drive was Pittsburghs ninth turnover through three games. The Steelers defence, meanwhile, hasnt recorded a takeaway through 12 quarters. Its a recipe that rarely leads to victory. "As of right now we have way too many turnovers and it goes both ways," Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel said. "Weve got to find ways to get the ball. Thats what great defences do." And none do it better than the Bears. While not the snarling force it was when recently retired linebacker Brian Urlacher was running things, the Bears make up for their lack of bark with a pretty feisty bite. When opponents get loose with the ball, the Bears swarm. The mistakes started early. Pittsburgh turned it over twice in the first half. Williams stripped Roethlisberger in the first quarter, leading to a 5-yard touchdown run by Matt Forte. Chicago was up 17-3 midway through the second quarter when Roethlisberger threw off his back foot in the face of a blitz. The bail sailed into the hands of Wright, who sprinted down the sideline for a touchdown to give the Bears a commanding 21-point lead. The score marked the second straight week and the 10th time since the start of the 2012 season that the Bears returned an interception for a touchdown, easily the most in the NFL. "Thats what we do, we take the ball away," Peppers said. "We stress it in practice every day, and it carries over to the game ... we have to continue to do that on a weekly basis to continue to win, and I believe well be able to do that." NOTES: Steelers TE Heath Miller caught 3 passes for 35 yards in his first game back from torn ligaments in his right knee. ... The Bears lost DT Henry Milton to a knee injury early in the fourth quarter. ... Pittsburgh outgained the Bears 459-258. ... Steelers WR Antonio Brown finished with nine receptions for a career-high 196 yards and two touchdowns. Tom Jackson Womens Jersey .

Terrell Davis Womens Jersey . -- Two nights after losing to the Eastern Conferences worst team, the Phoenix Coyotes handled the best.Al Davis still comes to mind almost daily. Amy Trask will see something or read something and wish she could share it with the late Raiders owner. Along with her husband of nearly 29 years, Davis had one of the most profound influences on her life and career.Now 18 months removed from her almost three-decade stint with the franchise, Trask remains a loyal fan of the Raiders team she fell in love with as a college student at California-Berkeley.She warns her colleagues at CBS and others that when it comes to Oakland, I often answer from my heart.Im asked so often, am I still a fan of the team? Why wouldnt I be? she said. I worked for the team almost three decades.These days, Trask is far removed from the daily operation in Alameda, California.She and husband Rob, an investor, sold their home in the Oakland Hills earlier this year and moved back to Southern California and the same Venice Canals district where they lived during the Raiders time in Los Angeles.Her path has come full circle.Davis died in October 2011, leaving a huge void for Trask. The Raiders longtime chief executive officer, she resigned her position on May 11, 2013.I think about him all the time, Trask said in a phone interview. Ill think of him in a variety of contexts — something funny and Ill want to tell Al; something in the world, and Ill want to discuss that with Al.When Trask walked away from it all, she heard from former NFL greats — even some baseball Hall of Famers — and coaches who offered to guide her through how to make the transition to a new, non-football life.How to essentially do a paradigm shift, Trask said.But Trask wasnt away for long. By the start of the 2013 season she had landed as an analyst for CBS, taking on the terrifying new challenge of television. No, she never imagined this, and no, she doesnt plan to return to work for a team.She still gets her football fix every Sunday, now paying more attention to every team instead of primarily just the Silver and Black. Theres an ice cream fix, too. Thats a daily indulgence, and Trask is proud she had 15 pints in her freezer at once last week. A variety of brands and flavours, and — just as was her way as a top executive — she doesnt play favourites.Absolutely once a day, sometimes more than once a day, she said. There is no shame whatsoever about eating ice cream on a daily basis or multiple times a day.What does she miss most about the Bay Area? Thats easy: the iconic Fentons Creamery. Next: friends and colleagues, and they understand.She hits her home elliptical machine by 5 a.m. most days.Im an early riser by nature, I love being up before anyone, she said.All these years, Trasks life has revolved around the NFL calendar. Running all aspects of the business operation of the Raiders, from ticket sales to the search for a new stadium, she used to pop intto offices at team headquarters to remind other employees the exact countdown to draft day or the first training camp practice and season opener.dddddddddddd.Most of all, she had Davis trust as one of the most influential women in the NFL at a time there werent many.You could tell that they had a mutual respect for each other, said 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, a one-time Raiders quarterbacks coach. I was a very low-level person, but Amy always treated everybody well. She didnt just manage up to Mr. Davis. She managed down well and I always respected that about her. Shes very sharp, always very detailed, very organized. She had a good presence about her and I always respected her.Trask, who first interned with the Raiders before later returning, became CEO in 1997 and was one of Davis most trusted advisers. She earned a bachelors degree from Cal in political science, then received her law degree from Southern California.On the third anniversary of Davis death on Oct. 8, Trask found it fitting the NFL approved the sale of the Buffalo Bills in the wake of the death of longtime owner Ralph Wilson in March. Davis and Wilson were dear friends, and that was not lost on me.In late September, Trask began as a panelist on a new weekly all-women sports show We Need to Talk, which airs in prime time on CBS Sports Network. She will participate in five episodes.Trask is working on a book. She is travelling regularly to and from New York for the CBS That Other Pregame Show, spending as little time outside California as necessary.Former linebacker Bart Scott has helped Trask deal with the transition, even offering a supportive hand to hold under the table during the show.Shes a trailblazer, shes a goal setter, Scott said. They sat us right next to each other, which was perfect. I understood what she was going through. I have tremendous respect for who she is as a person. We know she has the goods. It was all about her delivering it in a way that people could see and understand.Those who know her encouraged Trask to try something outside her comfort zone. But for someone who for years was a public figure — even if she could stay hidden in Raiders headquarters — that idea was hard to envision.I enjoyed being behind the scenes, below the radar screen, she said. I am doing something now that is very frightening, and in fact I am facing my biggest fear.Trask has avoided starting a Twitter account, though she does lurk and read from colleagues feeds from time to time.Little did she know she would be weighing in on some of the NFLs biggest stories, from Ray Rice to Adrian Peterson.I would have bet every single penny that we have that I would not have ended up on television, she said. Its the scariest thing Ive ever done in my whole life.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
