PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Ben Roethlisberger waited for the call in his helmet, but the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line already knew what was coming. Then again, they should. They did request it after all.LeVeon Bell to the left. Heath Miller, David DeCastro and Will Johnson leading the way. Again. And again. And again. At least, until the Cincinnati Bengals found out a way to stop the blossoming second-year running back.The offensive line was like, Man, we feel good about it, Bell said. As a runner, Im running whatever the offensive linemen want to run.It showed. Time and again Bell dashed and darted through increasingly large holes late in Sundays 42-21 victory over the tired, lethargic Bengals. When he was done, 26 carries, 185 yards and two touchdowns later, so was Cincinnati.We ran the same play two, three, four times in a row, consecutively, Bell said. Those guys just couldnt stop it. So we continued to run with it.Funny how often Pittsburgh victories follow suit. The Steelers (8-5) are 5-1 when the NFLs second leading rusher runs the ball at least 20 times a game. Considering his production spike in recent weeks, due in large part to the cohesive play in front of him, dont expect Bells workload to lessen anytime soon.Pressed on if he ever saw Bell winded on a day he had 32 touches in all — including six receptions for 50 yards and a score — and left tackle Kelvin Beachum just smiled.Not at all, not at all, not at all, Beachum said.Consider it a testament to Bells growing reputation as one of the leagues most durable backs and the fact hes not taking a lot of abuse. It helps that hes often past the really big guys on the defensive line before getting hit.The offensive line has done a great job of opening holes for me, Bell said. On check downs, Ben (Roethlisberger) is doing a good job of getting me the ball and allowing me to run with some space. So youve got to give a lot of credit to the offence and the offensive coaching staff.One that is committing to the run even with Roethlisberger in the midst of the best season of his career, even with no tested depth behind Bell after the team cut LeGarrette Blount last month. Needing a victory against the Bengals to have any chance of tracking them down in the AFC North, offensive co-ordinator Todd Haley put the bulk of the load on Bells increasingly broad shoulders.It was also a vote of confidence for a talented but erratic line that has taken its share of criticism over the last three seasons amid injuries and inconsistent play. Those issues have largely disappeared. The Steelers have only started three different line combinations this season, giving the group littered with high draft picks time to gel.Those guys physically and mentally are in the prime of their career, coach Mike Tomlin said. A lot of three, four, five-year guys. Guys have grown and grown up together.And they will be tested together as a three-game stretch looms that will define Pittsburghs season. As potent as the Steelers have looked at times, theyve also had trouble finishing off weaker teams. Pittsburgh squeaked out victories against Jacksonville and Tennessee and fell to Tampa Bay and the New York Jets. It cant happen again, not with the four teams in the AFC North separated by 1.5 games.The Steelers are hoping to return to the playoffs for the first time in three years.Beachum understands the line doesnt have to be great all the time, just good enough to give Bell the sliver of light he needs to turn an ordinary run into something else entirely.We know whats at stake, Beachum said. Its that time of the year, its AFC North football and we got playoff hopes on the line so I think everybody sucking it up and just trying to find a way to push through.NOTES: Tomlin said linebacker James Harrison (knee), cornerback Ike Taylor (knee) and right tackle Marcus Gilbert (ankle) will have a chance to play on Sunday against Atlanta (5-8).___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Pat Tillman Womens Jersey . -- Former Penn State coach Joe Paterno was admitted to the hospital Friday for observation due to minor complications from cancer treatments, his family said.

But do not fear, there are more T20 fireworks in store with the start of the 2016 Indian Premier League on Saturday. Not only that, but many of the six-hitting and wicket-taking superstars of the World T20 are sticking around in India for the IPL, including the winners…CARIBBEAN CHAMPIONSGet ready for more dancing for one, but also more carefree calypso cricket, with no less than six of West Indies World T20 winning squad playing in the IPL. IPL live on Sky Get the full IPL experience with Sky Sports England - and more specifically, Ben Stokes - destroyer in the final, Carlos Brathwaite, will be trying to add to those four-straight sixes off Stokes final over when he trots out for the Delhi Daredevils.Then, of course, there is the superstar attraction that is Chris Gayle, competing again for Royal Challengers Bangalore in front of his adoring home fans - the same ones who booed the West Indies when an injured Gayle didnt come out to bat in their win over Sri Lanka at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Carlos Brathwaite will have a lot more attention after his World T20 final exploits Gayle is joined in Bangalore by leg-spinner Samuel Badree following his impressive tournament - taking nine wickets at 13.77 and an impeccable economy of 5.39 - while death-bowling specialist and chief Champion, Dwayne Bravo, is with the newly-formed Gujarat Lions due to the two-year suspension of his former team, Chennai Super Kings, and the Rajasthan Royals. Get ready to see much more of this from Dwayne Bravo (Left) and Chris Gayle (Right) at the IPL Stars from the semi-final win over India, Lendl Simmons and Andre Russell, complete the Caribbean line-up, remaining with their respective 2015 teams, Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders.ENGLISH INTERESTJos Buttler is the main draw, competing in the IPL for the very first time, for Mumbai, and coming into the tournament with some sensational form under his belt too. He cracked 191 runs at the World T20 - including 12 sixes - averaging 47.75, with a strike rate of 159.16. He also hit a 73-ball ODI hundred against South Africa and an England record-fastest 46 ball ton against Pakistan this winter. Jos Buttler gets his first taste of the IPL with Mumbai Indians His international skipper Eoin Morgan returns for another IPL stint with Sunrisers Hyderabad, although his feast-or-famine form is currently firmly stuck in famine territory after only managing 66 runs in six World T20 innings for England.dddddddddddd But as weve seen before, he can quickly rediscover his touch as quickly as he can lose it.The only other English interest surprisingly comes in the form of Sam Billings, with the Kent wicket-keeper batsman earning his first taste of the IPL after being picked up by Delhi.HOME NATION HEROES Virat Kohli averaged over 100 for India at the World T20 There is plenty of Indian representation as always in the IPL, but few truly starred at the World T20. Virat Kohli certainly was one of them though, the Royal Challengers batsman was arguably the player of the tournament, with his 273 runs - at an astonishing average of 136.50 - leading the way (if you discount the early rounds with the associate nations).Indian skipper MS Dhoni didnt quite dazzle like he can do on the world stage, but still makes for an intriguing watch with new franchise Rising Pune Supergiants, who also boast the services of Kevin Pietersen, while the seemingly ageless Ashish Nehra - who previously played with Dhoni in Chennai - joins Sunrisers off the back of an impressive World T20. He took only five wickets in the tournament, but bowling often in the powerplay overs, went for only 5.94 runs an over.OTHER STAR NAMES Shane Watson stays in India after playing his final game for Australia at the World T20 Shane Watson is now done with international cricket, bowing out after a terrific all-round World T20 tournament where he averaged 48.00 with the bat, and took five wickets at 20.60 with the ball. But he carries on in the IPL, playing with the Royal Challengers for the first time.Re-joining the Daredevils is Quinton de Kock who continued his fine form at the World T20 while others in the South Africa side struggled. He smacked 52 off 24 balls against England, in an incredible game that theyd ultimately lose despite scoring 229. Bangladeshs Mustafizur Rahman was a standout performer at the World T20 Following on from his nine wickets in three World T20 outings for Bangladesh, Mustafizur Rahman - who joins up with Sussex in the T20 Blast later this summer - first has a spell with Sunrisers, while international team-mate Shakib Al Hasan is back with the Knight Riders.Sky Sports is the only place you can watch all the action from the 2016 IPL, starting on Saturday as Jos Buttlers Mumbai Indians meet Kevin Pietersen and the Rising Pune Supergiants live on Sky Sports 3 from 3pm.
