NASHVILLE -- The Tennessee Titans gave themselves a little breathing room with a much-needed victory, and the Pittsburgh Steelers still cant win away from Heinz Field. Rob Bironas kicked his fourth field goal, a 40-yarder as time expired, and the Titans beat the Steelers 26-23 on Thursday night to snap a two-game skid. Matt Hasselbeck threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Britt with 4:19 left to tie it at 23, and the Titans (2-4) snapped a three-game losing streak against the Steelers. More importantly, the team that had given up more points than any other team in the NFL held its first opponent below 30 points this season. "Its only one win, we know that," Titans coach Mike Munchak said. "But its a great win for us at this point in the season when we needed a win to show people what were all about." Pittsburgh (2-3) lost its third straight road game this season and the fifth in six games dating to last season despite Ben Roethlisberger throwing for 363 yards and becoming the Steelers career passing leader. "Were not doing enough things to finish games in hostile environments," Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said. "Thats just the reality right now. Hopefully, its just right now. We didnt do the job tonight. We defeated ourselves in some areas. Well go back to work. Needless to say its disappointing. We tip our caps to those guys." Roethlisberger drove the Steelers into position to take the lead after the Titans tied it. Canadian Shaun Suisham, who already had connected from 29, 28 and 52 yards, had his 54-yard attempt fall short of the crossbar with 49 seconds left. Tomlin said Suisham hit the 52-yarder pretty good so he decided to give his kicker the chance to win a second straight game. "I take full responsibility for the miss," Tomlin said. Chris Johnson ran for 91 yards on 19 carries, and Hasselbeck finished with 290 yards passing. "It feels good to win against a good opponent," said Hasselbeck, who started his second straight game in place of injured Jake Locker. "It feels good to win a close game." The Steelers were up 20-16 when Lawrence Timmons picked off Hasselbecks pass, but they had to settle for Suishams third field goal after moving the ball only 14 yards. That field goal put Pittsburgh up 23-16, and the NFLs fifth-ranked defence couldnt make that stand up. Johnson, who has been criticized mercilessly for his struggles running the ball, kicked off Tennessees next drive with a 12-yard run. The Titans drove 80 yards before Hasselbeck found Britt to tie it. Britt had dropped a would-be TD the play before and bobbled the TD catch too. After the Titans stopped Pittsburgh, Hasselbeck drove them 33 yards with the big play a 25-yard pass to tight end Jared Cook on a night his mother, Yulinda, was honoured as a breast cancer survivor. The Titans gave the ball to Johnson to run down the clock, then sent out Bironas for the field goal. Tomlin tried to ice Bironas with a timeout. Bironas waited it out, and then kicked the ball through to give the Titans a rare chance to celebrate this season. "Its kind of like Kevin Costner in "For The Love of the Game," where he clears the mechanism," Bironas said. "You go out there, and youre in the zone." Roethlisberger entered the game with 27,703 yards, 286 yards shy of Terry Bradshaws franchise record. Roethlisberger was 24 of 40 and passed Bradshaw with a 17-yard pass to Heath Miller late in the third quarter of his 119th game. Bradshaw played 168 games from 1970-83. Roethlisberger also threw an 82-yard TD pass to Mike Wallace. "Were not scoring enough points, and were not making the play when we need to," Roethlisberger said. The Steelers, who played without safety Troy Polamalu and linebacker LaMarr Woodley, head home with a much longer injury report. Steelers running back Ike Redman caught four passes for 105 yards for the Steelers before injuring his right ankle in the third quarter and never returned. Running back Rashard Mendenhall also went down with an Achilles injury. Centre Maurkice Pouncey injured his right leg on the Steelers first play from scrimmage and was ruled out for the rest of the game. Right tackle Marcus Gilbert hurt his right ankle in the second quarter. Doug Legursky stepped in for Pouncey, while rookie Mike Adams replaced Gilbert. A Steelers drive stalled when Derrick Morgan got around Adams and sacked Roethlisberger. Bironas also had field goals of 22 and 38 yards in the first quarter, and his 47-yarder on the final play of the first half gave Tennessee a 16-10 lead. Tennessee capitalized on a blocked punt to take the lead early in the second quarter. On the final play of the first quarter, Tim Shaw broke through the middle of the line and blocked Drew Butlers punt. Jason McCourty recovered at the 1 to give the Titans first-and-goal. That set up a 1-yard burst from Jamie Harper that gave the Titans a 13-10 advantage. Harpers touchdown left St. Louis as the only team without a rushing touchdown this year. "We couldnt lose tonight," Shaw said. "We were desperate. We needed this win more than anything. Its gotten us in a good place." The Steelers failed at moving above .500 for the first time this season after splitting their first four games. They should have felt right at home in Nashville, as roughly half the fans at LP Field were waving Terrible Towels while dressed in Steeler black-and-gold. They even had a fan run onto the field after the third quarter, waving a towel before being tackled.

Dwight Howard is making his first steps toward recovery from season-ending back surgery. The All-Star centre for the Orlando Magic was scheduled to begin his post-operative walking program Saturday, one day after a herniated disc was repaired and some fragments removed during a procedure in Los Angeles. Howards surgeon, Dr. Robert Watkins Sr., said Fridays operation was "uneventful" and Howard was resting comfortably. "The more formal core stabilization program will begin in three weeks," Watkins Sr., who was assisted in the procedure by son Dr. Robert Watkins Jr., said in a statement. "The timing of his return to basketball will depend on his response to the rehabilitation program. We anticipate a full recovery." Howard will miss the remainder of the Orlando season, including playoffs. He also will not play for the United States this summer at the London Olympics. "Nobody wants to play without Dwight headed into the playoffs," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said Friday. Howards season ended with him averaging 20.6 points and an NBA-best 14.5 rebounds. Before this season, Howard had missed only two games in his career because of injury, though he sat out a handful of other times because of illness or suspension. Orlando entered Saturdays game at Utah sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, the spot that seems most likely for the Magic to finish barring some major shifts in the final days of the regular season. After Saturday, Orlando has games with Denver, Charlotte and Memphis remaining before a likely first-round playoff matchup with Indiana would open next weekend. The Magic were 33-21 with Howard in the lineup this season. They entered Saturday 3-5 without Howard, the winner of the last three NBA defensive player of the year awards, something hes a strong candidate for again. "We dont have tthe margin of error to make mistakes defensively right now," Van Gundy said.dddddddddddd. Orlando is also going into the final stretch of the season without forward Hedo Turkoglu, who has not played since April 5 because of a facial fracture. Its still unclear if Turkoglu will be available for the post-season. Magic general manager Otis Smith told Van Gundy of the plan for Howard to have surgery Thursday night, adding yet another chapter to a drama-filled season for Orlando. Howard entered the year as the subject of trade rumours, given that he could have opted out of his contract after this season and become a free agent. He decided that he would not exercise that option, then found himself in another firestorm last month when Van Gundy -- in response to a report from an Orlando television station -- said Howard wanted him fired, something the player denied. Then the back problems started, first diagnosed as spasms after the Magic said Howard was struck by Dallas Mavericks centre Brendan Haywood in a game March 30. Howard sat out two games, then returned for two more -- finishing the second of those, a game against Philadelphia on April 7, with 20 points and 22 rebounds. But even taking a seat on the bench for timeouts was too painful for Howard to bear that night, and he sought a second opinion a few days later in Los Angeles. There, the disc problem was diagnosed. By then, the Magic were already prepared for bad news. "I dont think the news of the surgery did anything one way or another to our group," Van Gundy said. "I think weve been operating with the expectation that we wouldnt have him back. ... I dont think this was unexpected. I think the surgery, guys may not have expected, but the fact he wasnt going to play the rest of the way, thats the assumption weve been operating on for a long time." ' ' '
