OAKLAND, Calif. -- Terrelle Pryor took the opening snap of the game, put the ball in Darren McFaddens belly and saw LaMarr Woodley crash down. Then Pryor did what he does best, sprinting 93 yards for a record-setting run that helped the Oakland Raiders shake off any post-bye blues. Pryor scored on the longest touchdown run ever by a quarterback and the Raiders hung on to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 21-18 Sunday for their first win after a bye since 2002. "I was very surprised, because its never open like that," Pryor said. "Very surprised. But with the game plan, the way they put things together, it doesnt surprise me that sometimes it may happen like that." McFadden added two touchdown runs and the defence did the rest for the Raiders (3-4), who had been outscored by more than 13 points a game in losing their last 10 games out of the bye. Ben Roethlisberger struggled against heavy pressure from Oaklands front, and Shaun Suisham missed two short field goals as Pittsburgh (2-5) squandered any momentum gained during back-to-back wins following an 0-4 start. "It hurts," Roethlisberger said. "We felt like we were doing some good things and we were getting better. Today, we just werent there in all phases. We didnt block well enough, we didnt pass well enough, we didnt catch well enough. We just werent good enough." The Steelers took advantage by a fumble from Jacoby Ford to get in the end zone on a 9-yard pass to Emmanuel Sanders and cut the deficit to 21-10 early in the fourth quarter. But Roethlisberger also threw two interceptions in the fourth quarter. LeVeon Bells 2-yard TD run followed by a 2-point conversion run by Sanders cut Oaklands lead to 21-18 with 1:24 remaining. But Oakland recovered the onside kick. The Raiders got the win despite generating no offence in the second half, gaining one first down and 35 yards of offence in the final 30 minutes. But a defence that sacked Roethlisberger five times and forced two second-half turnovers did enough to give the Raiders their third home win in as many games with Pryor as the starter this season. "We are becoming a football team," safety Charles Woodson said. "I think we have some good players that have been assembled on this team, and were learning how to play together. Were learning each other and what each others strengths and weaknesses are. Were just making some plays out there." Pryor was far from his best after the first play, completing 10 of 19 passes for 87 yards and two interceptions. He did have his second 100-yard rushing game of the season, finishing with 106 yards on nine carries highlighted by the long run on the first play. "You have to understand the beast thats playing quarterback," Steelers safety Ryan Clark said. "You have to understand what he brings to the game and that thats a part of their game and that they can do that. Once a guy like that gets in front of the whole defence, hes a legit 4.4. Its real. It just looks slow because hes 6-6, but he was moving." The Steelers gained just 35 yards on the ground, allowing Oaklands defence to tee off on Roethlisberger. He withstood the pressure to complete 29 of 45 passes for 275 yards but it wasnt enough. Pryor set the tone on the first play from scrimmage when he kept the ball on a read-option when the Steelers crashed on McFadden and used a strong block by Rod Streater on Troy Polamalu to sprint the length of the field. It was the longest run in Raiders history and longest touchdown run by a quarterback. "We got the right look," guard Mike Brisiel said. "Man, I dont think anyone was close to catching him. Hes like a dad-gum gazelle out there." Oakland dominated the half as Pittsburgh gained 3 fewer yards in the opening two quarters than Pryor had on that one play to open the game. The Raiders took advantage of a short field after a deflected punt by Rashad Jennings to make it 14-0 on McFaddens first touchdown run. McFaddens keeper from 4 yards from the wildcat formation in the closing minutes made it 21-3. The Raiders survived a pair of interceptions in the half by Pryor, including a late one on a pass that hit receiver Brice Butler in the hands. Pittsburgh failed to capitalize on that gift when Suisham was wide right on a 34-yard field goal attempt in the closing seconds for his first miss of the season. Suisham missed to the right again after a more than 9-minute drive to open the third quarter "Its no secret the impact my missed field goals had on the game," Suisham said. "We would have won the game if we made my field goals. Its a tough one to swallow; no choice but to do it. I should have been better today and we lost because of it." NOTES: The Steelers lost three offensive linemen to injuries: LG Ramon Foster (concussion), backup LG Guy Whimper (left knee), RG David DeCastro (right ankle). ... The previous long TD run for a QB was an 80-yarder by Kordell Stewart for Pittsburgh against Carolina in 1996. Lakers Jerseys China .

Ondrej Palat also scored for the Lightning, who took a one-point lead over Montreal for second place in the Atlantic Division. A runner-up finish would give Tampa Bay home-ice advantage in its first-round playoff series with the Canadiens. "Wed love to have home-ice," Brewer said. "Clearly its something that you never want to use, but youd love to have. The other thing is, you just want to play well going into the playoffs." Boone Jenner and David Savard had goals for Columbus. The playoff-bound Blue Jackets are tied with Philadelphia -- which has one game at hand -- for third place in the Metropolitan Division. "We just have to regroup," Blue Jackets right wing Corey Troop said. "We just need to take care of business on our end." The Blue Jackets are also tied with Detroit, which will be one of the two Eastern Conference wild-card teams. Gudlevskis had played in the ECHL and AHL, and for Lativa in the Sochi Olympics this season. Anders Lindback started in place of the injured Ben Bishop in the Lightnings 4-2 win Thursday night over Philadelphia. "Its my biggest dream come true," Gudlevskis said. Bishop, 37-14-7 this season, might not be ready for the start of the playoffs due to an upper-body injury. Bishop left early in the first period of Tuesdays game against Toronto with what appeared to be a left elbow injury. "If something were to happen and Gudie had to go in, I did not want his first game to be a playoff game," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said.dddddddddddd After Jenner scored a power-play goal at 13:46 of the second, Brewer gave Tampa Bay a 2-1 lead when he beat backup goalie Curtis McElhinney 1:08 later.

Savard pulled Columbus within 3-2 with 3:23 to go in the third. Palat put the Lightning up 1-0 with a power-play goal at 3:55 of the second. The rookie has four goals and eight points during a six-game point streak. The Blue Jackets took three penalties in the opening 4:42 of the second. "Thats something that you cant do going forward," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "I looked down the bench and I think I used four or five forwards, six forwards, for the first five, six minutes of the second period." NOTES: Palat left in the third after taking a hard check. ...
