CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Running back Giovani Bernard slipped through the line, caught Andy Daltons short pass, then turned and saw something shocking. Air Max 1 Comprar Online . One of the NFLs top defences had given him a big opening. The elusive rookie turned the catch into a 27-yard touchdown on Monday night, one of his two scores that made all the difference in the Cincinnati Bengals 20-10 victory over the struggling Pittsburgh Steelers. "I saw green grass," said Bernard, a second-round pick from North Carolina. "Once you see green grass, youve got to take it. You dont get many chances like that. When you do, youve got to take it." He wasnt the only rookie putting their new imprint on an old rivalry. Top pick Tyler Eifert made a 61-yard catch that set up Bernards 7-yard run for his first NFL touchdown. Together, they gave a preview of what the Bengals (1-1) could become with two new pass catchers in the offence. "Gios done a good job," Dalton said. "We drafted him to be versatile, move around the backfield and make big plays. And thats exactly what weve gotten out him." The Bengals piled up 407 yards on one of the NFLs toughest defences, holding the ball for more than 35 minutes. The Steelers fell to 0-2 for the first time since 2002, done in by another game of self-destruction on offence. Pittsburgh had two turnovers in scoring range and couldnt hold the ball long enough to give their defence a breather, failing to get a first down on seven of their 12 possessions. "Theres not a lot of positives going on right now," said Ben Roethlisberger, who was 20 of 37 for 251 yards with one touchdown and a deflected interception. "We cant start doubting each other. Right now, theres a general feeling of being upset." It was a chance for the Bengals to show theyve supplanted the Steelers in the AFC North. They beat Pittsburgh 13-10 at Heinz Field last December to reach the playoffs, and now have moved ahead of them again with a rare Monday night win. Cincinnati is 10-20 in Monday night games. "This doesnt define anything until you look back at the end of the year," coach Marvin Lewis said. The Bengals put the ball in the Daltons hands in the first half, letting him pass away while they all but abandoned the run against one of the NFLs top defences. Dalton had an up-and-down game, finishing 25 of 45 for 280 yards. Cincinnatis rookies provided the big plays. Eifert got open between cornerback Ike Taylor and safety Ryan Clark for his 61-yard catch. Bernard finished the long drive with a 7-yard run, his first touchdown in the NFL, for the early lead. The Steelers needed to get their offence moving after a horrid opener. They ran for only 32 yards and Roethlisberger was sacked five times during a 16-9 home loss to Tennessee. Worse, the Steelers lost Pro Bowl centre Maurkice Pouncey for the rest of the season with a torn knee ligament. Fernando Velasco, signed a week earlier, started in his place Monday. They werent significantly better in Cincinnati. Roethlisberger got Pittsburghs offence moving in spurts. He completed all five of his passes on a touchdown drive that pulled the Steelers into a 10-all tie at halftime, including completions of 19 and 43 yards to Emmanuel Sanders. Shaun Suisham kicked a 44-yard field goal, and the Steelers had a chance to add to the lead in the first half. But another mistake -- and theyve had a lot of those already -- provided the games first turning point. Pinned at their 3-yard line after a punt, the Steelers drove into scoring position. Roethlisberger completed a 34-yard pass to tight end David Paulson, who fumbled the ball as he was tackled. Adam "Pacman" Jones forced the fumble and recovered it at the Cincinnati 13-yard line. Another of Roethlisbergers passes went off Jerricho Cotcherys hands and was picked off at the Bengals 13-yard line in the fourth quarter, essentially sealing it. The most intriguing question: Could Steeler-turned-Bengal James Harrison leave a mark on Pittsburghs mess of an offence? Nope. He didnt have a sack or a tackle. Notes: The Bengals rushed for 127 yards, with BenJarvus Green-Ellis getting 75 on 22 carries. Bernard ran eight times for 38 yards. ... The Bengals have consecutive wins over the Steelers for the first time since 2009. ... Roethlisberger was sacked twice by a defence that failed to get one in Chicago. Comprar Air Max 1 Baratas .

The unrestricted free agent agreed to terms with the club on Thursday on a one-year, two-way deal worth $700,000. DALLAS -- The Mavericks and New York Knicks agreed Wednesday to a six-player trade that returns centre Tyson Chandler to Dallas three years after he helped win a championship only to leave right away in free agency. The Mavericks sent guards Jose Calderon, Shane Larkin and Wayne Ellington and centre Samuel Dalembert to the Knicks for Chandler and point guard Raymond Felton. The Knicks also get both of Dallas draft picks Thursday night, a pair of second-round selections at Nos. 34 and 51. New York didnt have a draft pick before the first major personnel move since Phil Jackson took over as team president. "The journey to build this team for the upcoming season and beyond continues," Jackson said. "We have added players with this move that will fit right in to our system while maintaining future flexibility." New York is hoping to keep Carmelo Anthony despite the star forward planning to opt out of his contract and become a free agent on July 1. The Mavericks are reportedly on a short list of new destinations Anthony will also consider. Chandler was the emotional catalyst for the Dirk Nowitzki-led Mavericks when they beat the Miami Heat in six games to win the franchises first title in 2011. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban made the much-debated decision not to offer him a long-term contract because of concerns over how the new labour deal would keep Dallas from making other moves. Chandler, who had a history of injuries, turned down a one-year deal worth about $20 million for the security of a four-year, $55 million contract with the Knicks. The 31-year-old Chandler is going into the final season oof that deal at $14. Nike Air Max 1 Venta. 5 million, and Felton has one year at $3.8 million with a player option for another season in the same range. Calderon just finished the first season of a four-year, $28 million contract with the Mavericks, who also signed Monta Ellis to a multiyear deal last summer. It was the first time Dallas had committed to any player beyond one year since Nowitzki signed his most recent extension in 2010. Nowitzki will join Anthony in free agency, but he is expected to re-sign with the Mavericks. The Knicks are getting one of the best 3-pointer shooters and a steady hand at the point in Calderon, but he sometimes sat late in close games because he was a defensive liability. He averaged 11.4 points and shot 45 per cent from 3-point range last season. Felton is coming off a trouble-plagued season that included his arrest in February in a felony gun possession case. He was expected to plead guilty in exchange for community service and a $5,000 fine. Felton, who turns 30 on Thursday, averaged a career-low 9.7 points and saw a significant drop in his shooting percentage last season. Dalembert had an up-and-down season in the first year of a two-year deal with Dallas, while Larkin and Ellington were used sparingly. Larkin, the son of Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larkin and a first-round pick a year ago, saw his playing time drop dramatically when Devin Harris returned from toe surgery at midseason. Harris is a free agent and wants to return to Dallas, but he would like the three-year contract he and the Mavericks agreed to last year before the toe injury scuttled the deal. He settled for a one-year contract. ' ' '
