CLEVELAND -- Surrounded by his teammates in the locker room, James Harrison accepted the game ball as his eyes flooded with tears.On a special day for Pittsburghs pulverizing linebacker, there was something was missing and Harrison struggled to harness his emotions.I was thinking about my father, and how hes not here for it, Harrison said.The 38-year-old Harrison became the Steelers career sacks leader on Sunday as Pittsburgh recorded eight sacks and pounded the Cleveland Browns 24-9 to end a four-game losing streak.For Harrison, the milestone was somewhat bittersweet since it came in the same year that he lost his father, James Sr., who died in May at the age of 76.Harrison has kept his fathers passing mostly private, but honored him by posting photos on Instagram of him and his dad fishing together.Following the game, the Steelers paid tribute to the five-time Pro Bowler, who has helped them win two Super Bowls.Except for one season, Harrison has been with the Steelers since 2002, and his presence has kept Pittsburghs defense among the NFLs hardest-hitting, most-feared units.With Cleveland driving toward a possible touchdown, Harrison sacked Browns rookie quarterback Cody Kessler for a 5-yard loss.Starting on the right side, Harrison looped around the edge and then overpowered rookie guard Spencer Drango, who had no chance and was driven backward before Kessler was brought down.It was vintage Harrison -- brutal and effective.The sack gave him 77+ sacks, moving Harrison past Jason Gildon (77) for the most in Pittsburghs storied history.It feels good, Harrison said of the record. It feels a lot better to get a win to stop this losing skid that we were on.Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who has been around nearly as long as Harrison has, was excited to see his teammate set the mark.I wish he would have gotten it at home, but thats about the only regret I have for him is that he couldnt be recognized at home because he deserves that as one of the best Ive ever seen, Roethlisberger said. Im glad hes on my side. We all respect him a lot and were all happy for him.Harrison came in with just two sacks this season, both coming in a loss to Baltimore two weeks ago. Last week, Harrison found himself on the sideline during Dallas final two drives, both ending with touchdown runs by rookie Ezekiel Elliott.Coach Mike Tomlin moved him ahead of Jarvis Jones on the depth chart, and Harrison came through the way he always has.James has been that type of guy for us, Tomlin said. Usually we make decisions with him with a global perspective. Wanting him to be a part of this thing not only today, but for the remainder of the season and for `fork in the road type weeks. What are we preserving him for? Thats why we played him today in the manner in which we did.I see him every day so Im less amazed by him. Maybe I should be amazed by it, but we know that his production is not haphazard. Its not something mystical. He works extremely hard and does so on a daily basis.Harrison helped set the tone for Pittsburghs defense, which held the Browns to 33 yards rushing and 209 overall -- 126 coming in the fourth quarter when the Steelers were not rushing as much.Everybody took responsibility to do their job and what I call play selfish, Harrison said. Do your job and let your teammate do his job. And Im not saying selfish in the way of me, me, me. Im talking about selfish in the fact that if you do your job and everyone else does their job, then everything will roll out the way you need it to.Harrison, who grew up in Akron and played at Kent State, said setting the sacks record in Ohio didnt make it any more significant.It could have been anywhere, he said. But it wouldnt have been more special than it already is.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Jay Cutler Jersey .Y. -- Paul Byron and Matt Stajan scored as the Calgary Flames started a five-game road trip with a 2-1 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon.

Cheap Dolphins Jerseys China .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. LAS VEGAS -- One long putt got Lucas Glover going Saturday and put him in position for his first PGA Tour victory in five years.Glover was even par for his round when he holed a 45-foot birdie putt on No. 8, followed with a 9-foot eagle putt on the next hole and made a pair of birdies and a key par putt in the closing holes for a 6-under 65 in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.Glover had a one-shot lead over Brooks Koepka (70) and Rod Pampling (71).That eighth hole was kind of the catapult, Glover said. I made that long one, and two great shots into 9 and turned in 3 under and kept it going.Playing in the final group, Koepka and Pampling were slowed by mistakes and wound up letting a dozen or so players back into the mix. Twenty players were separated by four shots going into the final round at the TPC Summerlin.Weve got a shootout ahead of us tomorrow, said Glover, who was at 15-under 198. I like where I stand, but youre going to have to play good tomorrow.Glover pulled ahead when he got up-and-down on the short par-4 15th, two-putted from birdie from about 50 feet on the 16th hole and then made a 5-foot par putt on the par-3 17th. The short putts are what has hurt Glover the most during the five years since the former U.S. Open champion last won at Quail Hollow.He recently switched to a claw grip to get his shoulders more involved.Ive really been working hard, and its starting to pay off, Glover said. Eighteen holes tomorrow, and see how many we can make because Im going to have make some.Russell Henley made eight birdies -- only one of them from under 10 feet -- for a 63, and Geoff Ogilvy ran off four straight birdies late in his round for a 65. They were two shots behind. The group at 12-under 201 included Las Vegas resident Scott Piercy, Harris English and Pat Perez, who missed eight months this year with shoulder surgery. Another Las Vegas resident, Ryan Moore, was in the large group at 11 under.ddddddddddddKoepka had three bogeys on his opening six holes to fall behind, and he caught up by using his power to make birdie on the par 5s on the back nine and with a 3-wood that he hit to 20 feet for a two-putt birdie on the 15th. He was tied for the lead until pulling his tee shot into the water on the 17th and making bogey, and then he ended his wild round with a sand wedge that spun back to tap-in range on the 18th.For as bad as we played today, I was kind of happy to be one off the lead, Koepka said. Just kind of struggled with everything. I feel like speed was a bit off, putting never really got comfortable. ... Not my best performance, but I guess one off the lead isnt too bad for how bad we played.The final group of Pampling, Koepka and Chris Kirk (75) combined to shoot 3-over par.We struggled out there, and at least it was good see Brooks make some birdies at the end, Pampling said. They were out there. It was just a few breaks here and there werent quite what I had been getting. Hopefully, itll turn around tomorrow and well actually post a proper number again.Pampling and Glover both had to go back to the Web.com Tour Finals two seasons ago to regain their full tour cards. While it has been since 2011 that Glover last won, Pampling hasnt won since the 2008 Australian Masters, and his last PGA Tour victory was 10 years ago at Bay Hill.Im not going to lie, there was a little bit of tension early on, Pampling said. They guys who are a long way back go low because theyre not protecting a little bit. Obviously, I dont think we can protect tomorrow, but I feel good. Just go out there and let it go and just hope juices are good. Its nice to have them.
