ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- LeVeon Bell had no issues with traction in establishing the Pittsburgh Steelers rushing record on a slick, snow-covered field.Whether it was rushing to his left, right or up the middle, the Steelers running back scored three times and gained 236 yards rushing in a 27-20 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.For Bell, the wintry conditions were nothing more than what it was like growing up in suburban Columbus, Ohio.It was never a thing that bothered me, being cold or if theres snow. It never fazed me, Bell said, noting that goes for the cold-weather Steelers, too. Our guys embrace playing in the snow.The Steelers (8-5) 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.Its the Bills (6-7) who were unable to get a hand on Bell in having their playoff chances all but mathematically slip away. Buffalo is 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.Its very hard to swallow, cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman said. I dont know how to take this right now. But its going to take some time.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 to put the Steelers ahead 21-7.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, 2006.You set a franchise record in a snow game in December, guard David DeCastro said. I mean, come on. Of course it was fun.The mood was entirely different for the Bills.The loss raised questions about coach Rex Ryans job security and quarterback Tyrod Taylors future .Ryan was defiant when asked about whether he deserved a shot to continue on the job beyond his second season.What do you think Im going to say? Youre dang right I do, Ryan said. It hasnt gone exactly the way I wanted it to go, thats obvious. But we have three games left and well try to win every one of them.Ryan, however, was noncommittal in saying, well see, when asked whether Taylor will remain his starter.Taylor oversaw an offense that sputtered through much of three quarters.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.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 Cleveland on Dec. 18.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Authentic Yeezys .

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took their celebration all the way to the showers Sunday after snapping the Kansas City Chiefs five-game winning streak, whooping it up louder than any fan in the building.When some of them started to talk about how great it felt, though, Gerald McCoy set them straight.He was like, `That is expected, Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston said of their longtime defensive tackle, and I thought, `Youre right.Winston sliced up a Kansas City defense missing top cornerback Marcus Peters, then McCoy and the Buccaneers defense stood tall in a 19-17 victory Sunday that could prove pivotal to their season.Tampa Bay (5-5) is suddenly right in the NFC South playoff hunt.We have a really close locker room. We pull together, said Chris Conte, who made a crucial pick for Tampa Bay in the fourth quarter. When we travel, we come together as a team and get it done.Winston threw for 331 yards to help set up four field goals by Roberto Aguayo, and hit tight end Robert Cross for a touchdown with just over 6 minutes left to give the Buccaneers a cushion.The Chiefs (7-3) marched swiftly downfield, and Alex Smith hit Albert Wilson with a short TD pass with just over two minutes left. But their defense couldnt stop Mike Evans on third-and-3 moments later, and the big wide receivers sixth reception gave the Buccaneers a first down.By the time Kansas City finally forced a punt, there was 8 seconds left in the game.This is my responsibility that my team plays better than this, said Chiefs coach Andy Reid, whose team had not lost at home since Oct. 11, 2015. I didnt have them ready when they needed to be.It was the Buccaneers fifth straight win over Kansas City dating to 1993.We cant make mistakes. We cant stop ourselves, whether that be blocking the wrong people or getting penalties. We got to execute, Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley said. Weve got to continue the tempo that we have during the middle of the field. Weve got to keep that tempo in the red zone.The Chiefs, who had won 17 of their last 19 regular-season games, repeatedly fizzled inside the Tampa Bay 20. They had to settle for a field goal by Cairo Santos on their first trip and Smith threw an interceeption in the end zone midway through the fourth quarter.ddddddddddddhe Chiefs were 0 for 3 in the red zone last week at Carolina.I dont think theres one thing you can point to. I dont think theres one thing that can do it, Smith said of the red-zone trouble. You got to come away with points. Thats a difference-maker.Smith was 23 of 30 for 268 yards in another inconsistent performance Sunday, while Spencer Ware was bottled up much of the afternoon. The bruising running back finished with just 69 yards rushing.We have to capitalize. We can only learn from this and move forward, Ware said. Theres nothing wrong with whats going on right now. We just have to capitalize.MARTIN MOVES ITThe Buccaneers Doug Martin carried 24 times for 63 yards in his second game back from a hamstring injury. But that modest total was important in helping Tampa Bay go 11 of 16 on third downs.WINCHESTER PLAYSChiefs long snapper James Winchester played one day after the funeral for his father, Michael, who was shot to death at an Oklahoma City airport on Tuesday.
