.Y. -- LeVeon Bell scored three times and set a franchise record with
236 yards rushing in finding traction on a slick, snow-covered field,
leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 27-20 win over the Buffalo Bills on
Sunday afternoon.The Steelers overcame three interceptions thrown by
Ben Roethlisberger to win their fourth straight and improve to 8-5 and
keep pace in the AFC playoff race. The loss all but mathematically
eliminated the Bills (6-7) from contention, and puts them in jeopardy of
extending the NFLs longest active playoff drought to 17 years -- the
longest since New Orleans ended a 20-year drought by reaching the
postseason for their first time in 1987.After scoring in the first half
on 3- and 7-yard runs, Bell put the game away on the opening drive of
the third quarter. He had nine rushes for 72 yards alone and capped the
82-yard drive by waltzing into the end zone from 5 yards .Bell also had
62 yards receiving to account for 298 of the 460 yards gained by
Pittsburgh. It was the second three-TD game of his career, and first in
which he scored three times rushing.Bell broke the franchise rushing
record set by Willie Parker, who had 223 yards against Cleveland on Dec.
7, 2006He also extended his streak to four-straight games with 100
yards or more rushing, a span in which hes combined for 620 yards on the
ground.The Bills mustered no response on offense or defense at a time
when both quarterback Tyrod Taylor and coach Rex Ryan are having their
future in Buffalo questioned.The Bills combined for seven first downs
and 87 yards net offense on their first nine possessions. That included
Sammy Watkins 8-yard touchdown catch set up by Stephon Gilmore returning
Roethlisbergers second interception to the Pittsburgh 7 midway through
the second quarter.Down 24-7, the Bills scored twice in the final 7:27
on Charles Clays 40-yard catch and LeSean McCoys 3-yard run with 1:25
left.Taylor finished 15 of 25 for 228 yards with two touchdowns and an
interception.Ryans prized defense continued to struggle a week after
Buffalo squandered a 24-9 third-quarter lead in a 38-24 loss at Oakland.
Buffalo has now surrendered more than 200 yards rushing twice this
season, including 256 in a 28-25 loss at Miami on Oct. 23, when Dolphins
running back Jay Ajayi had 214 of those yards.BAD BENRoethlisberger
finished 17 of 31 for 220 yards in continuing his struggles on the road.
He has a 4-3 record away from Pittsburgh this season, when hes thrown
eight touchdown passes and eight interceptions. Roethlisbergers numbers
are far better at home, where hes 4-1 and thrown 17 TDs versus three
interceptions.Buffalo linebackers Lorenzo Alexander and Zach Brown, on a
pass intended for tight end Jesse James in the end zone, also had
interceptions.MINUS YARDSThe Bills had minus-1 yards through two series
in the first quarter, becoming the NFLs first team this season to have
negative yards through the first 15 minutes. Buffalo didnt get into
positive yardage until its first snap of the second quarter, when McCoy
had a 9-yard run.DOINK!Steelers cornerback William Gay appeared to
return an interception for a touchdown in the first quarter, only to
have it nullified by a defensive holding penalty against Bud Dupree.
What was amusing about the interception is how the ball landed in Gays
hands. Bills receiver Robert Woods slipped to the ground and had Taylors
pass hit him squarely in the facemask. The ball bounced up and directly
to Gay, who ran it back from Buffalos 25.SNOW REMOVALThe start of the
second half was delayed for nearly 10 minutes because of a buildup of
rubber pellets that accumulated along the sidelines. The piles of
pellets, which are part of the artificial turf, gathered up when
tractors swept the field of a dusting of snow during halftime. Workers
were required to use blowers and shovels to push the pellets further off
the field.UP NEXTSteelers: At Cincinnati on Dec. 18Bills: Host

"I dont know that were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I
just think, right now, the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us
right now. I dont know if I can quantify how far off or things like that
that they might be but I would say we continue to have dialogue.

LOS ANGELES -- USC?has signed a permission-to-contact form for
backup quarterback Max Browne, which will allow him to seek a transfer
destination anywhere in the NCAA.Browne, who has graduated and is
enrolled in a masters program at USC, will be eligible to play
immediately next season. He is expected to finish the season at USC and
transfer in time to participate in spring practice at a new school.USC
could have blocked a transfer within the conference, but it placed no
restrictions on where he can go. Browne and his family are free to start
reaching out to coaches immediately, and vice versa.He asked for
permission to talk to everyone and we granted everyone, USC coach Clay
Helton said. I think thats the only respectful thing for him. You want
the best opportunity for yourself and you dont know where that would
be.Out of respect for the type of guy he is and how hes handled things
around here, I personally think he deserves it.The news comes as no
surprise, after Browne -- a redshirt junior -- was benched after
starting the first three games of the season in favor of redshirt
freshman Sam Darnold. At the time of the switch, Browne all but
confirmedd he would transfer.

You think about it right away, Browne said of transferring. You think
about all the possibilities at hand, but at the end of the day, its only
Week 4. There is a lot of ball to play, and so Ill stay ready.USC went
1-2 with Browne as the starter, before Helton opted to go to Darnold.
Browne has completed 58 of 91 passes this season for 507 yards and two
touchdowns, with two interceptions.Max has been so good to us and so
good to this football team and is a graduate, and thats whats most
important, Helton said. Hes graduated from this university, and hes done
everything right. So, he deserves the opportunity to find his perfect
fit, whether its here or someplace else.Out of respect for him, a guy
that I truly love, I want him to be able to talk to other folks and see
what is the perfect fit.Browne, who is from Sammamish, Washington, was
the No. 2-ranked quarterback in the Class of 2013. He sat behind?Cody
Kessler?for three years and was named the Trojans starter just before
this season began.
