The Steelers are sinking.Big Ben is hurt and the defense allowed 223 yards rushing to the Dolphins (2-4). It was the second awful performance by Pittsburghs defense in a month following a 34-3 beatdown by the Eagles in Week 3.If they couldnt stop a rookie like Carson Wentz and let Ryan Tannehill and Jay Ajayi have their way, theres no telling what Tom Brady and the Patriots will do to the Steelers this week.Uh, slow down.Ben Roethlisberger missed five starts last year and the Steelers survived. They went 3-2 with Michael Vick and Landry Jones under center. Roethlisberger actually came in to win one of those games in relief. Jones has more experience and should be more comfortable this time around.As for the defense, it should improve once defensive lineman Cam Heyward and linebacker Ryan Shazier return from injuries.The Steelers might not be AFC frontrunners, but theyre still the team to beat in the North. The Ravens (3-3) are reeling and the Bengals (2-4) are struggling.Here are other overreactions following Week 6:OVERREACTION: Six down, 10 to go. The Browns are going 0-16.REALISTIC REACTION: A home game against the Jets on Oct. 30 might be Clevelands best chance for a win.---OVERREACTION: Cam Newton must be getting advice from Drew Rosenhaus. He answered next question several times during a terse, 90-second news conference following Carolinas 41-38 loss to New Orleans.REALISTIC REACTION: Newton rallied the Panthers (1-5) back from a 21-0 deficit yet more people want to talk about his answers than his performance.---OVERREACTION: Nobody is stopping Tom Brady and the Patriots.REALISTIC REACTION: New England (5-1) is the best team in the AFC, but Brady beat the Browns (0-6) and Bengals (2-4). The Steelers (4-2) will be a much tougher test.---OVERREACTION: Rex Ryan and the Buffalo Bills are rolling into the playoffs. Theyve won four straight after an 0-2 start.REALISTIC REACTION: The schedule says it wont be easy. Next four games: At Miami, New England, at Seattle, at Cincinnati.---OVERREACTION: Its Lane Johnsons fault the Eagles lost to the Redskins. Rookie Halapoulivaati Vaitai started at right tackle for the suspended Johnson and allowed 2 1/2 sacks and several pressures.REALISTIC REACTION: Defense allowed 231 yards rushing and team committed 13 penalties. Everyone deserves blame.---OVERREACTION: The Packers arent serious contenders in the NFC after a 30-16 home loss to the Cowboys.REALISTIC REACTION: R-E-L-A-X. Its October.---OVERREACTION: Odell Beckham Jr. finally has his emotions in check. He had a spectacular game against the Ravens and played nice with the kicking net.REALISTIC REACTION: Beckham still drew a 15-yard penalty for taking off his helmet after catching the go-ahead TD. He needs a penalty-free game.---OVERREACTION: The Chiefs (3-2) made the Raiders (4-2) look like pretenders with a 26-10 win on the road.REALISTIC REACTION: Andy Reid is 16-2 after a bye. Oakland was just another on the list.---OVERREACTION: Dak Prescott made the decision easy by leading the Cowboys (5-1) to a win at Lambeau Field. Hes the starter whenever Tony Romo returns.REALISTIC REACTION: It would be the toughest decision of Jason Garretts coaching career except Jerry Jones calls the shots.---OVERREACTION: Now the Cardinals are back. Theyre 3-3 after beating the Jets on Monday night.REALISTIC REACTION: They beat the 49ers (1-5) and Jets (1-5) the past two weeks. The Seahawks (4-2) up next arent pushovers.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi Buffalo Sabres Gear .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons.

Varlamov made 33 saves and Ryan OReilly had a goal and scored in the shootout as the Avalanche beat the New Jersey Devils 2-1 on Thursday night. SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - It wasnt as close as the final margin of victory might suggest.While horseplayers may have had their heart in their throat watching the Grade 2 Bowling Green unfold, Javier Castellano, the rider of heavily favored Flintshire, had it under control the whole time.Waiting as long as he could to ask his mount to run, Castellano pushed the button outside of the eighth pole and Flintshire responded with an electric turn of foot that carried him to a three-quarter length victory over Grand Tito in the $250,000 Bowling Green at Saratoga.Grand Tito, who set pedestrian fractions up front under Jose Ortiz, finished second by a length over Twilight Eclipse, who was a half-length ahead of Canthelpbelieving. Danish Dynaformer scratched.The victory was the second straight for Flintshire since coming to the U.S. and trainer Chad Brown and sets him for a repeat bid in the Grade 1, $1 million Sword Dancer Invitational on Aug. 27. Flintshire, a 6-year-old Juddmonte Farms homebred son of Dansili, won that race last year when in the barn of Andre Fabre.Flintshire showed a similar explosive turn of foot Saturday as he did last year.Castellano believe the key to unlocking Flintshires turn of foot is to keep him covered up as long as possible. He thought that could be more difficult in a four-horse field.But Castellano had Flintshire in third and on the insside of Canthelpbelieving while Grand Tito, under Jose Ortiz, set harness-like fractions of 26.dddddddddddd53 seconds for the quarter-mile, 53.14 for the half, 1:19.44, and 1:44.20 for the mile. Leaving the three-furlong marker, Twilight Eclipse went around Flintshire, who was now relegated to fourth.Turning into the lane, Castellano was still content to wait while gradually swinging Flintshire into the clear. Once there, Castellano moved his hands ever so slightly and Flintshire took off, overtaking Grand Tito inside the sixteenth pole while remaining in hand.Flintshire covered 1-3/8 miles over a firm inner turf course in 2:18.24.As long as you cover up he gives you that powerful kick, Castellano said. Im kind of concerned a little bit, not too many horses in the race and being in the clear all the way and then when you ask him he doesnt kick. You could see me at the top of the stretch, I never hit him, I never doBrown admitted to being a little bit concerned as he knew the other riders were race-riding Castellano, which he acknowledged is well within their right.Javier showed a lot of poise. He didnt panic. The horse ran terrific. Hes a true champion, Brown said. Theyre a great team.Flintshire, the 1-10 favorite, returned $2.20. ' ' '
