PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger did everything perfectly. Tremaine Edmunds Womens Jersey . The fake spike that momentarily fooled the Dallas Cowboys. The perfect lob to Antonio Brown that gave the Pittsburgh Steelers the lead and appeared to be the perfect jolt they needed to jumpstart a sagging season.Only one problem: There was too much time. Far too much. The sense of joy lasted all of 31 seconds, or the time it took the Cowboys to go 75 yards, the final 32 on Ezekiel Elliotts dash to the end zone that gave Dallas a 35-30 victory and sent Pittsburgh to its fourth straight loss.Soaring in October, the Steelers (4-5) are sinking as Thanksgiving approaches. Not even 408 yards and three touchdowns from Roethlisberger, 154 yards receiving by Brown and 134 total yards and two scores by LeVeon Bell could prevent another baffling breakdown.We are undisciplined and not accountable, Roethlisberger said. Thats why they are one of the best in the business and we are not right now.Certainly not the way theyre playing, particularly on defense. Twice in the fourth quarter Pittsburgh was one stop away from ending the Cowboys seven-game winning streak. And twice the Steelers offered little resistance as Dallas rookies Dak Prescott and Elliott did whatever they wanted, hardly bothered by the largest crowd to watch a Steelers home game in club history.Two drives. Both 75 yards. Both ending with Elliott racing across the goal line and a series of black-and-gold clad defenders futilely giving chase.It sucks losing regardless, but especially in critical moments of the game when theyre getting big plays and youre trying to do everything you can to stop them, linebacker Ryan Shazier said. This one really stings a lot.Expected to be in the thick of the AFC race thanks to one of the most talented offenses in the league, the Steelers arent even in first in an underwhelming AFC North. They will head to winless Cleveland next week hoping to end their longest losing streak since dropping the first four games of the 2013 season.Its just unacceptable, defensive end Cam Heyward said.Roethlisberger played poorly last week in his return from left knee surgery, a dismal loss in Baltimore, but told his teammates to follow me with a chance to prove themselves against the NFLs hottest team. While there were moments of brilliance, each one appeared to be met with an equally boneheaded step backward.After Roethlisberger hit Eli Rogers for a 3-yard touchdown in the first quarter to give the Steelers an early 12-3 lead, a pair of Cowboy penalties put Dallas into a first-and-25 hole. No matter. Two plays later Elliott took a screen pass, picked up a couple of blocks and ran 83 yards to put Dallas right back in it.Bell stretched the ball into the end zone from 1 yard out with 7:51 left to give the Steelers a 24-23 advantage. Dallas went 75 yards in 10 plays, ending with Elliotts 14-yard dash with 1:55 left.Roethlisberger calmly took the Steelers right back down the field and channeled his inner Dan Marino with the clock running and the ball at the Dallas 15. The quarterback took the snap and pretended to ground the ball. Instead he held on to it and hit a streaking Brown for a touchdown that again gave Pittsburgh a one-point advantage.You take a lead so it feels pretty good, Roethlisberger said.Fleeting too. Prescott moved the Cowboys into field goal range helped by a 15-yard facemask penalty on Steelers rookie safety Sean Davis.It was a critical time, Davis said. When seconds go by I was just trying to get him down, poke the ball, grab something and he just ducked. Once I felt my fingers in his facemask I let go.Control of the game followed suit. Instead of settling for a long field goal attempt, the Cowboys instead kept plowing ahead with Elliott going 32 yards right up the middle for the deciding score.We can sit here and say its a great learning example, but learning doesnt get you wins, Heyward said. Were no longer allowed to keep doing that.Not if they want to salvage what once looked like a promising year.TWO MUCH?The Steelers set an NFL record last year by converting eight 2-point conversions, some of them in nontraditional situations early in the game. They went 0 for 4 on Sunday, chasing points all afternoon after they botched a pair of attempts in the first quarter.We want to be aggressive, Roethlisberger said. We practice it every day. We need to be better at it.INJURIESBackup linebacker Steven Johnson left in the first quarter with a broken ankle. Backup safety Shamarko Thomas exited with a groin injury.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Andre Roberts Womens Jersey . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second. Zay Jones Womens Jersey . Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek defeated Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (4) on the indoor hard-court at Belgrade Arena. The victory improved the Czech pairs impressive cup doubles record to 14-1. http://www.shoptheofficialbills.com/Elite-Zay-Jones-Bills-Jersey/ . -- Five former Kansas City Chiefs players who were on the team between 1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the team hid and even lied about the risks of head injuries during that time period when there was no collective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian, who was held out of the loss Sunday to the Atlanta Falcons because of a left (non-throwing) shoulder injury, said Tuesday he believes he will be in the lineup Thursday night against the San Diego Chargers.Asked if he expected to start in Qualcomm Stadium, Siemian said Tuesday: Yeah, I think so. I think Im expecting to play.Interim coach Joe DeCamillis, who is filling in for Gary Kubiak while the coach sits out with a complex migraine condition, said Siemian would officially be listed as limited in practice Tuesday.He had a positive day (Monday) in practice and well try to progress with him and see where he ends up, DeCamillis said. ... Itll be a collective decision.Siemian suffered a bruised AC joint is his non-throwing shoulder just before halftime of the Broncos Week 4 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was held out of practice one day last week and then threw on a limited basis Thursday, Friday and Saturday before the Broncos made the decision to hold him out.After he was told he would be a game day inactive against the Falcons, Siemian -- on Kubiaks advice -- said he began to look at game video for the Chargers to get an early jump. In his last full game, he threw for 312 yards and four touchdowns in the Broncos Week 3 win at Cincinnati.Rookie Paxton Lynch, who was 23-of-35 passing for 223 yards to go with a touchdown and an interception in a choppy outing vs. Atlanta, would start if Siemian doesnt play against the Chargers. Ed Oliver Jersey. Lynch was also sacked six times by the Falcons, who had four sacks in their first four games combined.While Siemian said he expects to start against the Chargers, he doesnt have the most important vote. Broncos head trainer Steve Antonopulos, as well as the teams medical staff, will make the final call after watching Siemian throw Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.It is the same procedure the Broncos used last week before deciding on Lynch vs. the Falcons.I went through the whole week, preparing and trying to get (the shoulder) to Sunday, thinking I was going to play, Siemian said. I think thats got to be your mindset.Siemian and the rest of the players are working under different circumstances this week, given Kubiaks condition. Doctors recommended Kubiak take a week off from coaching, and he is scheduled to return to the team Monday morning.Id be lying to you if I said it wasnt an adjustment, said Siemian, who said he hasnt been in contact with Kubiak this week. I think we missed him for sure, but I think everybodys trying to do their best to pick up the slack -- coaches, players, everybody. Thats what were trying to do. Its not the same without him here -- he is involved in the plan, in the practices, then he coaches.Everybody has got to their part, pick up the slack, be a pro.
