PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward spent three weeks fruitlessly chasing opposing quarterbacks but never wavered from the answer, and it had nothing to do defensive coordinator Keith Butler coming up with intricate blitz packages to compensate for a nonexistent pass rush.The way Heyward figured it, the defensive front needed to be better. A lot better. More aggressiveness. More winning 1-on-1 battles.During four soggy quarters at Heinz Field on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, the dam finally broke. And Heyward led the way.His career-high three sacks -- triple Pittsburghs season total coming in -- helped spark a 43-14 thumping in which the Steelers looked every bit the contender with New England and Denver for AFC supremacy.Seven days after getting clinically dissected by Philadelphia rookie quarterback Carson Wentz -- a game Heyward described as the Steelers getting their butts kicked (only with more colorful language) -- the Steelers defensive captain led the way.With us, when the defense has success, its because the defensive line does, Heyward said.A line that spent three hours manhandling the Chiefs. The chaos started immediately. Heyward sacked Alex Smith on Kansas Citys first drive and tipped an ill-advised screen pass that ended up in the arms of linebacker Jarvis Jones two possessions later.In between, defensive end Stephon Tuitt forced a fumble that set up Pittsburghs first touchdown.We have the best big people in the NFL, Steelers linebacker Vince Williams said. Those guys really led the charge on the effort and hustle tonight.And showed a fair amount of resiliency, too. While Heyward groused during the slow start, Tuitt preached patience. He knew the sacks would come in waves for a group that piled up 48 a season ago.So did linebacker Arthur Moats. As ineffective as the Steelers looked while the Eagles tore through them with ease, the truth is the film wasnt all bad.When you watch it and see that, youre not like, `Oh, weve got this big hole weve got to fix, Moats said. Its just like, `Hey man, if I do my job, you do your job, everybody does their job, everything is going to be fine.Yes, the Eagles played well while rolling up 34 points, but the Steelers believe a lot of their issues were self-inflicted.We had a lot of opportunities to get off the field, a lot of chances to stop the score from getting like that and getting those type of yards, Moats said. It was more us missing assignments, penalties on third downs, penalties in critical situations where we could get off the field.Against the Chiefs, the majority of those mistakes disappeared. Kansas City scored a pair of token touchdowns with the game well out of reach in the fourth quarter.Otherwise, Pittsburgh played with confidence and speed even with a slew of reserves getting extended playing time due to injury.Safety Jordan Dangerfield finished with five tackles in place of Robert Golden. Cornerback Justin Gilbert played for the first time since being acquired in a trade with Cleveland on the eve of the season.Williams set a career high with 13 tackles while Ryan Shazier rested a balky right knee. Williams even picked up his first solo sack with a second quarter takedown of Smith.Coach Mike Tomlin isnt quite ready to say Blitzburgh is back, though the results were certainly promising.I just think we performed better, Tomlin said. I dont know that we reinvented the wheel tonight, schematically ... I just thought they made it come alive.Game notes RB LeVeon Bell said he felt just fine after playing in his first full game in nearly a year.

LOUIS -- Kenny Perry has been here before, and been crushed by disappointment. Whatever happens in the final round of the Senior PGA Championship, he plans on leaving with his head held high. If his two-stroke lead over two-time champion Jay Haas doesnt hold up Sunday, Perry said, "Its not going to be the end of the world." "I played beautifully for three rounds," Perry said. "Im just going to go out there and play like I did, and point and shoot." The 52-year-old Perry is close to his first senior major title in a career known more agonizing almosts in the 2009 Masters and 1996 PGA than his 16 total tournament victories and $34 million in winnings. He was at 10 under at Bellerive Country Club, which held up fine after a rain delay of more than two hours before the last twosome of Perry and Russ Cochran teed off. Perry is the lone player in the field to break 70 all three rounds, capitalizing on booming drives and finesse. On Saturday, he chipped in from about 30 feet from an awkward lie for an eagle on No. 4. "I couldnt stand there all day and do that again," Perry said. "That was a one in a million shot." The odds did not help Perry when he faltered and lost in a playoff to Mark Brooks in the PGA. When it happened again in the Masters, it hurt a lot more. Perry led by two strokes with two holes to go but finished with a pair of bogeys, ending a streak of 22 holes without one. Then he bogeyed the second playoff hole and lost in a playoff to Angel Cabrera. "That Masters loss put a big dent in my life," Perry said. "So this right here, this is awesome. Im just going to try to do my best and hopefully the cards will fall my way this time." Perry had the eagle, five birdies and four bogeys in the third round, mixing spectacular shots with some stumbles and doing enough of the right things for a 3-under 68. Though Perry had just one bogey the first two rounds, his closest pursuer sees no weakness. He has dominated on the three par-5 holes, playing them in 8 under. "It was nice to stay within a few of Kenny," Haas said. "It looks like hes really going to bee tough to beat.dddddddddddd" Haas finished with a pair of birdies for a 67. Cochran was three strokes back after rallying for two birdies on the back nine for an even-par 71, and Rod Spittle was four shots back after a 67. The 59-year-old Haas, who won the championship in 2006 and 08, grew up in nearby Belleville, Ill., and is a bit of a local favourite. He shot 66 in the first round to share the lead and credited a telephone tip from coach Billy Harmon about keeping his right shoulder down for helping to steady his game. "I think I missed maybe one or two fairways and just hit some real quality shots," Haas said. "So, that was a lot of fun." Haas has played Bellerive a couple dozen times, but doesnt consider it much of an advantage. "Golf is such a different game than playing at your home court or something with the fans," Haas said. "I dont know what it makes a big deal of a difference." Perry had a three-stroke lead after the chip for eagle from an awkward lie on No. 4, with both feet in a greenside bunker and the ball on the lip. He was aiming at the gallery and just hoping to get it on the green. "When I hit it, man, it went straight toward the flag," Perry said. "And it hit and checked a little bit and rolled right in there like a putt." The lead was down to one after he followed up with consecutive bogeys, but he was back up by four over Cochran and Haas after birdies on Nos. 7 and 8, and no one got closer than two strokes on the back nine. Defending champion Roger Chapman shot 66 for the second time, matching the tournaments best, and was 1 under. Bernhard Langer shot a bogey-free 67 for the second straight day to climb back to even par for the tourney after opening with a 79. "I think that the first two rounds youre a bit under pressure to put in a good defence and probably thinking about just making the cut was the wrong attitude," Chapman said. "Now I made the cut, the pressures off a bit, just go out and play and thats what I did." Spittle shot 69 in the first round after a rocky start, going 3 over par the first three holes. ' ' '
