PITTSBURGH -- Landry Jones did just as he promised. He didnt panic .The Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback moved the ball. He stood in the pocket. He put together a handful of throws that made him look like the full-time starter somewhere he believes he can become.Jones also didnt win. And that -- more than his respectable numbers -- is what hell take away from Pittsburghs 27-16 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday.I thought for the most part I played decisive, Jones said. Were there plays that I wanted to have back? Absolutely.Namely a first-quarter interception in the end zone that wiped out a chance for the Steelers (4-3) to seize momentum. Jones saw wide receiver Antonio Brown in single coverage, but his lob was poorly underthrown .That was just a bad ball, Jones said. AB ran a good route. I threw a (poor) ball.One of the few during three hours in which Jones filled in capably for Ben Roethlisberger, who offered what he could on the sideline while wearing sweatpants over the left knee he had surgically repaired last Monday.Jones completed 29 of 47 passes for 281 yards with a touchdown and the one pick. It wasnt a disaster to be sure. It just should have been so much more.The Steelers scored just one touchdown in four trips to the red zone. A touchdown pass to Darrius Heyward-Bey in the second quarter was wiped out by a penalty. Typically reliable kicker Chris Boswell missed a pair of field goals, though one of them was an iffy 54-yarder into the open end of Heinz Field halfway through the fourth quarter with the Steelers down 11.Jones did exactly what Roethlisberger likes to do: getting the ball to running back LeVeon Bell (149 total yards) and wide receiver Antonio Brown (seven receptions for 106 yards). All those yards, however, resulted into just one trip to the end zone, something that cant happen when Tom Brady is on the other sideline.Its a small margin of error with a team like that, Bell said.Offensive coordinator Todd Haley certainly showed firm belief in Jones, keeping the playbook as diverse as ever. Jones looked the part of a starter when he hit Brown for 51 yards down the sideline in the second quarter, the longest play given up by the Patriots this season.Yet it wasnt enough to keep up with Brady or a Patriots offense that hummed with clinical efficiency when required. Twice in the second half the Steelers kicked a field goal to cut into the New England lead, and twice the Patriots responded with touchdowns. Brady hit Rob Gronkowski for a 36-yard score in the third quarter and former Steeler LeGarrette Blount slammed over from 5 yards early in the fourth for his second touchdown of the day.Pittsburghs defense, which was bulldozed in a mystifying loss in Miami last week, held Brady and company in check for stretches. Yet every time Pittsburgh needed one stop to give its offense a chance to seize the lead, the Patriots practically sprinted down the field.Were looking like garbage right now, Pittsburgh linebacker Ryan Shazier said. This is terrible right now.At least the Steelers are still in first place in the AFC North. Theyll have a chance to get healthy with a bye week coming up before visiting struggling rival Baltimore on Nov. 6.Maybe Roethlisbergers knee will be OK to go. Defensive end Cam Heywards hamstring too. Maybe tight end Ladarius Green will finally get off the physically unable to perform list. Maybe the defense will find whatever its lacking.Thats a lot of maybes, something Pittsburgh refuses to traffic in.You play 67 snaps good and you have a handful of snaps that cost you the game, thats frustrating, linebacker Arthur Moats said. But weve got to remain more consistent.Something thats proven elusive so far during a season that has seen the Steelers look like a legitimate threat to reach the Super Bowl and a non-contender in equal measure. They hardly folded with Roethlisberger out. They simply expected to do more than that.Its going to always be good to get your players back, Bell said. But we still felt like we could win this game.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Mavericks Jerseys .

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Pernell McPhee was back at practice for the first time this season, and is hoping to play again for the Chicago Bears soon.The linebacker was placed on the physically unable to perform list when training camp started and did not participate in offseason work after the surgery to his left knee.The Bears have 21 days to consider whether to put McPhee on the 53-man active roster. He will not play Sunday against Jacksonville.I feel great, man, he said Friday. Im out there practicing, running around with my teammates, so thats the best feeling in the world.McPhee, who had five sacks in his first seven games last year after coming over as a free agent from Baltimore, worked through knee issues for much of 2015 and then had surgery. Neither McPhee nor the Bears are saying the exact nature of the injury or surgery. The team found McPhee wasnt ready to practice in training camp, and he has been rehabbing since.Youve got to go ask the doctors that, McPhee said about why it took so long. I had a successful surgery and its healed now and Ive got the opportunity to play football and thats the only thing that matters.McPhee likened his recovery to a car repair.So throughout the process, I just had to oil up everything else around so I know I was 100 percent when I come back, he said.Bears coach John Fox said the surgery occurred 39 weeks ago and the team would be cautious about McPhees return.Were going to have to be smart on how we manage his reps, both on the practice field in preparation, as well as in games, Fox said.dddddddddddd I think were just kind of starting that procedure now.McPhee worked with the scout team Friday.Obviously, he was excited, Fox said. It was good to see a smile on his face.McPhee signed a five-year, $40 million free agent contract with the Bears before the 2015 season after starting his career with the Baltimore Ravens. He had five sacks in his first seven games, but began experiencing knee pain and tried to play through it.McPhee finished with only one more sack in 14 games.Fox anticipates it will be an emotional boost for his 1-4 team just to have McPhee practicing.Fridays typically a little more of a light workout, but Id say I think there was some enthusiasm there and some freshness there, for sure, Fox said.Wide receiver Marquess Wilson is also on the PUP list due to an offseason foot injury, but the Bears chose not to begin considering him for the roster.Game notes Quarterback Jay Cutler (thumb), running back Jeremy Langford (ankle) and nose tackle Eddie Goldman (ankle) are doubtful for Sundays game with Jacksonville. They did not practice this week. Cornerback Diondre Hall (ankle) has been ruled out. ... Tackle Bobby Massie is questionable after missing Fridays practice due to an ankle injury.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Jerseys 2020 Cheap NFL Jerseys Throwback Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Hoodies Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys Discount Jerseys ' ' '
