PITTSBURGH -- No chaos this time. No meltdowns either.The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals stuck to football this time.And Ben Roethlisbergers sharp second half gave the Steelers an early leg up in the race for the AFC North title by shaking off a pair of first-half interceptions to finish with 259 yards and three scores and Pittsburgh held on for a 24-16 win on Sunday.DeAngelo Williams churned out 94 yards on a career-high 32 carries and added a 4-yard touchdown grab with 6:48 remaining to give the Steelers (2-0) all the breathing room they would need.Tight ends Jesse James and Xavier Grimble also caught scoring passes from Roethlisberger as Pittsburgh kept Cincinnati in check at rainy Heinz Field.The rematch of the Steelers ugly 18-16 win in the wild-card round in January was downright tame by comparison. The teams combined for just 10 penalties and only one personal foul, a marked departure from that messy night in Cincinnati nine months ago that included more than 220 penalty yards and a series of nasty hits that cost the players involved thousands in fines and Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict the first three games of the 2016 season.I think theyre all civil, Williams said with a laugh. Sometimes you have civil disputes. We just didnt have any of those.Andy Dalton passed for 366 yards and a touchdown but needed 31 completions to reach that total, working almost exclusively on dump offs to running backs and tight ends while Pittsburgh clamped down on star wide receiver A.J. Green, who finished with just two receptions for 38 yards.We were able to take (Green) out of the game, Steelers safety Mike Mitchell said. We knew if we could minimize his impact, the outcome was going to be good for us and it was.Pittsburgh controlled the tempo throughout and after Roethlisberger shook off a so-so first half in which he tossed two interceptions and the Steelers pulled away.Roethlisberger hit Sammie Coates with a pretty 53-yard pass to set up a 9-yard toss to James. The quarterback later used a 14-yard scramble -- his longest run in three seasons -- to set up a flip to Williams that put Pittsburgh up 24-9.SLOPPY FINISH: Dalton found Giovanni Bernard for a 25-yard touchdown with 3:25 left, but each of Cincinnatis last two drives ended in turnovers. Tyler Boyd fumbled after getting hit by James Harrison in Pittsburgh territory with 1:50 to play even though replays appeared to show Boyd -- who grew up in suburban Pittsburgh and played collegiately on the same field for Pitt -- was down well before the ball came out.I should have done a better job with ball security, said Boyd, who finished with six catches for 78 yards. I still believe I was down but the call didnt say so. All I can do is go out there and keep playing.Cincinnatis second turnover came on a last-ditch lateral by Bernard that ended up in Pittsburgh defensive end Cam Heywards hands after time expired.NO SHOW: Maybe it was the weather. Maybe it was the relatively conservative game plans or maybe it was just pretty solid defense. Whatever it was, the expected duel between superstar wide receivers Antonio Brown and A.J. Green never materialized .Brown caught just four passes for 39 yards and even had a rare drop while running free in the middle of the field in the first half.Green, guarded almost exclusively by Pittsburgh cornerback Ross Cockrell at the line, struggled to find much room to move. The only impact play Green made came on drawing a pass interference play against Cockrell that set up Mike Nugents field goal. A week after dominating Darrelle Revis for 12 catches and 180 yards and a touchdown against the Jets, Green was a nonfactor and one of the reasons Cincinnati went just 4 of 16 on third down.We converted one or two, but not enough of them that mattered, Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis said.THEY SAID IT:We were never planning on our role being diluted down, but we feel good about where we are now. James on the contributions of the reserve tight ends following the retirement of Heath Miller and a lingering injury to free-agent signee Ladarius Green.There were times when A.J. Green would catch 12 balls and there are other times when other guys will get involved. Thats just how it is. -- Dalton on Greens lack of production.UP NEXTBengals: Welcome Denver to Paul Brown Stadium in their home opener.Steelers: Travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Ryan Allen Jersey .

Note: The Calgary Flames announced Tuesday that Sean Monahan would not be made available to Canadas World Junior team. Theres only one matchup left to determine the champion of the League of Legends World Championship (Worlds). It started with 16 teams, but only two remain, last years champion SK Telecom T1 and Worlds 2014 champion Samsung Galaxy.SK Telecom T1: the defending championsThe League of Legends standard for excellence starts and ends with SK Telecom T1 (SKT). The team makes its third appearance in the grand finals of Worlds out of four years and continues to do so with dominating lineups. SKT is a team that harkens to the past. Its a team that boasts two major damage-dealers in traditional positions (middle lane and AD carry) with supplementary pieces from the top and jungle and rotates in a past world champion, Bae benji Seong-ung, if the team wants to speed the game up. To beat SKT is to play better fundamental League of Legends, but it possesses some of the best in the business.For this years iteration, SKTs best weapon is in the shape of AD carry, Bae Bang Jun-sik. Hes a monster on Jhin and Ashe and boasts the best kill/death/assist ratio in the entire tournament at 8.0 (65 kills, 19 deaths, and 87 assists). Hes been the head of every team fight with the second-highest rank in the tournament for damage per minute at 658 and his positioning in major skirmishes is a thing of beauty. SKTs support, Lee Wolf Jae-wan, is the engine behind the team. Hes second on the team in kill participation (behind Bangs 70%), but his Karma and Zyra are the real table-setters behind every major engagement.Samsung Galaxy: the reemergenceThis Samsung Galaxy team is a remodel. Its a team that follows its jungler, the veteran Kang Ambition Chan-yong, and plays a style of bend, but doo not break until the late game.dddddddddddd Unlike SKT, Samsung Galaxys strengths are in the jungle and the top lane with Ambition and Lee CuVee Seong-jin and it uses the middle lane and AD carries as luxuries or finishers to the overall attack. The teams record, 11-1, represents dominance, but this was a team that comes into the grand finals without a true test to its skill.Samsung Galaxys unheralded star is Jo CoreJJ Yong-in. His main picks in the tournament, Zyra, Tahm Kench, and especially Karma, are borderline ban-worthy and his ability to disrupt and prolong team fights is something to account for. After that, CuVee is arguably the star of the entire show. CuVee may not dominate a lane in creep score, but his pressure and ability to get a first blood can snowball the team to an easy victory. Ambition is the early game and midgame transition for Samsung Galaxy. Without the junglers rotations, the team would never live to see 20 minutes. His Olaf and RekSai are masterclass examples of how to be a disruptive and powerful force without the necessary farm or items to do so.On paper, this is a mismatch. SKT is the easy favorite. The lineup with the most experience, individual skill, and notoriety with the hopes for a repeat stacks the deck too high. But, Samsung Galaxy is the team that lives up to the term dark horse. The third seed from South Korea continues to surprise and crush competition and its entry into the final matchup of Worlds is hardly a fluke. The prediction is still SKT, but it will not be a blowout by any means.
