CLEVELAND -- A short bus ride into Ohio put Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers back in the fast lane.The playoffs remain a possible destination.LeVeon Bell scored on a 1-yard touchdown run -- long after time expired in the first half -- and Pittsburghs defense recorded eight sacks as the Steelers snapped a four-game losing streak, 24-9 Sunday over the winless Cleveland Browns.The Steelers (5-5) scored eight points with zeroes showing on the clock before halftime after they were awarded two extra plays because of defensive penalties against the Browns (0-11), who also lost rookie quarterback Cody Kessler with a concussion.Pittsburghs win, coupled with Baltimores loss to Dallas, pushed the Steelers back into a tie for first place in the AFC North with the Ravens (5-5).Roethlisberger tied to downplay the victory, but there was no denying its importance.We just won a game, honestly, thats the approach we have to have, Big Ben said. It really doesnt mean anything. It means we won a football game.The Steelers did it by playing Steelers football -- running the ball, stopping the run and physically punishing the Browns.After they knocked Kessler from the game, defensive tackle Javon Hargrave recovered a fumble by Browns backup QB Josh McCown for a TD with 3:36 left to seal Pittsburghs win. The Steelers came in with a league-low 13 sacks before unloading on the Browns.On a bitter blustery day, where throwing was difficult, Bell finished with a season-high 146 yards rushing as the Steelers improved to 2/3 on the road and avoided an embarrassing loss to the NFLs worst team.We knew with the weather we had today that he was going to have to be big for us, said Roethlisberger, who improved to 20-2 in starts against Cleveland, still paying for not drafting the Ohio native in 2004.Making it worse, Roethlisbergers 10 wins in Cleveland match Derek Anderson for the most home wins by a Browns quarterback since 1999.Kessler sustained a concussion -- his second this season -- late in the third quarter. Kessler was being dragged down when he was hit by Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons, who launched himself and was called for unnecessary roughness. Its not clear if Kessler was hurt by Timmons or when his head hit the turf.Brown coach Hue Jackson said Kesslers season could be over.Were definitely going to talk to our medical staff, Jackson said. This is about a young mans career and future. We have to do the right thing.Jackson didnt think Timmons play was dirty.This is football, he said. This is a tough sport. I dont think they were border line.Pittsburgh dominated the first half, but only led 6-0 before the strange final moments.Starting at the Cleveland 41, Roethlisberger drove the Steelers to the Browns 3 with 8 seconds left. On second down, Roethlisbergers pass to Antonio Brown in the end zone was incomplete as time ran out.However, Browns defensive back Briean Boddy-Calhoun was called for holding, giving Pittsburgh another chance.Again, Roethlisberger looked for Brown, who was dragged to the ground by star cornerback Joe Haden. Pass interference was called and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin stayed aggressive and Bell bowled over the goal line to make it 12-0.Thats the mentality that coach has and the confidence he has in us, Roethlisberger said. We actually called a pass plan on that, and I ran to the sideline and told coach (offensive coordinator Todd) Haley, `No we need to run this because the boys up front want to run it. So we changed the play at the very last minute and LeVeon got it in for us.STILL HOPEThree NFL teams previously went 0-11 before winning a game -- the 1975 Chargers, 1984 Bills, 2000 Chargers -- while seven had even worse starts.SUPER STEELERPittsburgh linebacker James Harrison is the clubs career sack leader.Harrison drilled Kessler in the third quarter to pass Jason Gildon (77) for the most sacks in the Steelers storied defensive history. Its likely Hall of Famers Joe Greene, Jack Lambert or Jack Ham could have more, but the NFL didnt recognize sacks as an official statistic until 1982.Harrison teared up in the locker room afterward.GRIFFIN GETTING CLOSEBrowns quarterback Robert Griffin III, who has been out since breaking a bone in his left shoulder in the season opener, did some conditioning drills, threw -- and even drop kicked a ball through the uprights -- before the game.Griffin has been cleared to practice this week and will undergo another medical exam to see if he can take contact.If he continues to progress, Griffin will likely start one of Clevelands final five games. The Browns have a bye on Dec. 4, which would give RG3 additional time to get ready.UP NEXTSteelers: At Colts on Thanksgiving night.Browns: Host Giants next Sunday.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLCheap Royals Jerseys .

Ross said.Ross was joking, although he and Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh do talk often. And Harbaugh wont be the Dolphins next coach, Ross said, because it would be too awkward prying him away from Ann Arbor.Hes not coming here, Ross said. Ive got my name on too many building up there. But we dont have to worry -- we have a great guy.Thats to be determined, starting with Fridays practice. The Dolphins opened camp under Adam Gase, their ninth coach since 2004, and his assignment is to end an eight-year playoff drought.In July, even the Dolphins are optimistic.Everybody starts undefeated and with great expectations, Ross said. This year Im particularly excited. I think weve done a lot in the organization over the last year. Im excited as I can be.The Dolphins promoted Chris Grier to general manager in January, and he and executive vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum have brought in 45 new players for the new coaching staff.Gase began sorting it all out on a typically sweltering summer morning. The energy level was high, and sustaining that will be the challenge, Gase said.The first day of practice, everybodys excited to get back out there, Gase said. The telling parts going to be when were about six or seven days into this thing and in full pads. Where are we going to be then?Word of the first reinforcement came during practice, when the Dolphins learned defensive end Dion Jordan has been reinstated by the NFL after serving a suspension for 15 months foor his latest violation of the leagues substance abuse policy.dddddddddddd Jordan can participate in meetings and conditioning work immediately, and is expected to join practice soon.Miami began camp without five players who went on the active-physically unable to perform list, including four-time Pro Bowl running back Arian Foster, who is recovering from Achilles tendon surgery last season. Also put on PUP were cornerbacks Bobby McCain and Xavien Howard, running back Damien Williams and linebacker Zach Vigil.All are day to day, Gase said, which means they could join practice soon.The absences of McCain and Howard compound worries at cornerback, perhaps Miamis thinnest position. And theres little experience at running back without Foster, who signed a $1.5 million, one-year deal this month with Miami and is expected to compete for backup duty behind second-year pro Jay Ajayi.Despite the injuries, camp began with players confident the Dolphins are headed in the right direction under their new coach.The culture were building is good, quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. I think that guys have the right mindset as a team.Reviews of the squads condition were mixed. Among those making a positive impression was four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Cameron Wake, who is only nine months removed from Achilles tendon surgery.It doesnt surprise me, because the guy is a physical freak, Gase said.But when asked if everyone passed the conditioning test, Gase managed a weak smile.Maybe not, he said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.
