buy into their system of getting caught intto penalties and stuff li

PITTSBURGH -- Johnny Manziels time is coming. For now, the most famous backup quarterback in football is merely a student. Brian Hoyer, the journeyman veteran who beat out the Heisman Trophy winner for the starting job in Cleveland, provided a lesson in resilience on Sunday. Then Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers provided another in how to finish. Again. Roethlisberger hit Markus Wheaton twice during a last-gasp drive to set up Shaun Suishams 41-yard field goal as the Steelers survived 30-27. "Well, that was exciting, wasnt it?" joked Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Thats one way of putting it. Another might be harrowing after Pittsburgh let a 24-point lead evaporate. Still, in the end it was Roethlisberger doing what he always seems to do when he faces the Browns. Roethlisberger improved to 18-1 against Cleveland after one last audible set up Wheaton for a 20-yard gain. "When (Suisham) lines up to kick it, I was on the sideline like, This was why we have him," Roethlisberger said. "There was never a doubt he was going to make it." There never is when the Browns (0-1) play in Pittsburgh (1-0). Cleveland hasnt beaten the Steelers on the road in 11 years, though for the first time in a long time the gap in the decidedly one-sided rivalry appears to be narrowing. Roethlisberger passed for 365 yards and a touchdown, running back LeVeon Bell had 197 total yards and a score and Antonio Brown caught five passes for 116 yards with a touchdown. Brown added a highly entertaining (if illegal) kick to the face of Cleveland punter Spencer Lanning -- and still the Steelers needed every last second to hold off the Browns. "We cant apologize for the way we win," Roethlisberger said. "We just have to win games." Clevelands second-half rally came without receiver Josh Gordon (suspension), running back Ben Tate, who left in the second quarter with a knee injury, and tight end Jordan Cameron (shoulder). It also came without Manziel. He spent his NFL debut in a baseball cap watching Hoyer nearly engineer one of the unlikeliest upsets since the franchises reincarnation in 1999. The northern Ohio native who was nearly out of football when the Steelers gave him a short stint as a backup in 2012 completed 19 of 31 passes for 230 yards and a 9-yard touchdown to Travis Benjamin. That tied the game at 27 with 11:15 to go. "I told those guys at the end of the game that Ill take that team to the end of the Earth if were going to fight back like that," Hoyer said. Scrapping is nothing new to Hoyer, who held off Manziel during an uninspired training camp battle. Coach Mike Pettine promised the well-travelled Hoyer he wouldnt have to spend games looking over his shoulder. Pettine flatly answered "no" when asked if he considered going to Manziel after the Browns fell behind 27-3 at the half. "The way the game went we just never felt the need for him," Pettine said. The Browns ditched their methodical attack for an uptempo no-huddle that kept Pittsburgh off-balance. When Tate went to the sideline, rookies Terrance West and Isaiah Crowell provided a jolt. West darted for 100 yards and Crowell scored a pair of second-half touchdowns as the Browns somehow pulled even. It just wasnt enough. After sometimes frantic play for the first 50 minutes, both teams squandered chances to take control. Clevelands last gasp came with a first down its 20 with 1:53 to go. A sack, an incompletion and an ill-advised screen gave the Steelers the ball back at their 43. Roethlisberger found Wheaton for an 11-yard gain on second down and connected with Wheaton again at the Cleveland 24. Suisham, who signed a contract extension during training camp, smacked the winner down the middle. Earlier, surrounded by playmakers and emboldened by an expanded no-huddle offence, Roethlisberger passed for 278 yards -- including a beautiful 35-yard rainbow touchdown to Brown -- in the first 30 minutes as the Steelers raced to the 27-3 halftime lead. The highlight came on a rollicking punt return by Brown in the second quarter. He tried to leap over Lanning, only to have his cleat smash into Lannings face. The play drew an unnecessary roughness penalty on Brown -- perhaps the first ever by a punt returner -- and comic laughter from the sun-splashed crowd delighting in what appeared to be another mauling in a series full of them. "I tried to get over him," Brown said. "There was no intent to hurt him. It was just a bad outcome of a play." The penalty hardly stopped the Steelers, who needed two plays to spring Bell for a 38-yard touchdown run that made it 24-3.

PIESTANY, Slovakia -- Canada defeated Sweden 5-1 on Tuesday for its second straight victory at the under-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup tournament. Mitchell Stephens scored two goals in the third period to help put the game out of reach. Canada (2-0) moved into sole possession of first place in the Group B standings while Sweden (1-1) fell into second place. "What I like is how well were playing defensively," said head coach Jody Hull. "In this tournament, thats the key. Youve got to play strong in your zone and with the quality of forwards we have and our defencemen, they seem to be working in really good unison right now." Sweden could not capitalize on a pair of 5-on-3 advantages in a scoreless opening period. Travis Konecny scored on a power play in the second period and Lawson Crouse made it a 2-0 game a few minutes later. After Stephens gave Canada a healthy lead, Jansen Harkins iced the win by scoring on a penalty shot late in the third. "After the first period, we sort of found our legs," Stephens said. "We didnt buy into their system of getting caught intto penalties and stuff like that.dddddddddddd. "I think we got back to our system, got pucks deep and established the forecheck." Tyler Soy added two assists and goaltender Zachary Sawchenko made 27 saves. Philip Magnusson had the lone goal for Sweden and Felix Sandstrom made 36 saves in a losing effort. Hull has been impressed by his teams balanced scoring attack. "Im not relying on one or two guys every night to carry the load," he said. "Im relying on 12 guys to do it. Again, were just playing that solid team game." Canada opened the tournament with a 5-1 victory over Switzerland and will close out the preliminary round Wednesday against host Slovakia at the Zimny Stadion. "The biggest thing for me is that were sticking to the plan," Hull said. "Were not off of it when we get behind or when we get a bit of a lead. We just keep going." The semifinals are scheduled for Friday and the medal games are set for Saturday. Canada has won the summer hockey tournament six years in a row, and 18 of the past 23 times since it began in 1991.
