PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger is setting the tone for the Pittsburgh Steelers second half with two simple words.Follow me, said Roethlisberger after being asked how the team strikes the balance between urgency and calmness after a 4-4 start.Aaron Rodgers had R-E-L-A-X. Big Ben has this.After a brief pause, Roethlisberger -- whose Steelers face the 7-1 Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in Heinz Field -- added that guys that have been here that know, no time or reason to panic.Roethlisbergers words could mark a turning point for the Steelers, who have been uncharacteristically lackluster on offense in the last month.Coming off a 21-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in which the offense managed 69 yards of offense through three quarters, Roethlisberger is placing the onus on himself to get things right. Through the first five games, Roethlisberger had 15 touchdown passes and the Steelers were 4-1. His torn left meniscus during an Oct. 16 loss to the Miami Dolphins contributed to the recent struggles, although the quarterback expects to undergo his first full practices in nearly a month.So how does he set an example for his teammates?Just watch me, he said. Talking to guys like you and just being calm like this. Its easy.The demeanor might be calm, but the Steelers game plan could be more aggressive. Coach Mike Tomlin admitted to a conservative, run-first approach Sunday in Baltimore, in part to protect Roethlisbergers knee. The offense came alive in the fourth quarter while using the no-huddle.When asked about that game plan, Roethlisberger said hes focused on the Cowboys.Whatever the coaches call for -- I play the game, they coach, Roethlisberger said.Heres betting Roethlisberger will have plenty of chances to back up his words.

Hamelin, who triumphed in the 500 on Saturday, edged out Victor An of Russia by 0.021 seconds to maintain his lead in the World Cup standings. Russias Vladimir Grigorev was third. In the relay, Canada took control six laps from the finish line to beat Russia and the Netherlands. Richard Mandella has a hard time turning loose. Good horses seem to enter his barn and linger. The South American Sandpit hit the Mandella stable as a 3-year-old and left at age 10. Same deal for The Tin Man, who did some of his best work at 9, while the gray mare Bels Starlet was a precocious stakes winner at 2 and is still throwing strikes for Mandella as a 7-year-old.For the past five seasons, Mandella and his crew have served at the pleasure of Beholder, and Beholder has taken them on an unforgettable ride, from the high points of a triumph like the 2015 Pacific Classic to the lows of a tough loss in the Kentucky Oaks and a nasty injury in her only New York experience.Time after time, Beholder has come back from forced layoffs to hit the mark, earning a record of 17 wins and 6 seconds in 25 starts, more than $5 million in earnings, and a space on the wall of the Hall of Fame dusted and ready for her induction five years after she retires.But there is no rest yet for a champion, and Beholder will be in for a fierce battle on Nov. 4 when she goes postward in the 33rd running of the $2 million Breeders Cup Distaff against fellow Eclipse Award winners Songbird and Stellar Wind.Theres a lot at stake. With a win, Beholder could join Goldikova as the only horses to win three Breeders Cup races since the series began in 1984. (Beholder won the Juvenile Fillies in 2012 and the Distaff in 2013.) With a win, she could nail down a fourth championship season, something no other mare has done in the history of the sport. And with a win, Beholder could erase the taste of the first three-race losing streak of her noble career, after seconds to Stellar Wind in the Clement Hirsch and the Zenyatta and to California Chrome in the Pacific Classic.Beholder feels right at home at Santa Anita, where she has trained for the vast majority of her career. Much is made of a perceived home-court advantage for horses trained at the Breeders Cup site, although when it comes to this one, Mandella takes the idea to extremes.Every one of Mandellas eight Breeders Cup wins and two of his three seconds have come at Santa Anita, including his four-bagger in 2003 with Pleasantly Perfect, Johar, Action This Day, and Halfbridled. Kotashaan and Phone Chatter clinched championships at Santa Anitas 1993 running of the Cup, while Beholder added Mandellas most recent pair.Theres no doubt running out of your own stall has to help, Mandella said. But its not like I havent tried winning out of town.Mandella enters the 2016 Breeders Cup with 38 starters, 19 of those coming outside of California.dddddddddddd The best of them was the second-place finish of Chamnp Pegasus in the 2010 Turf at Churchill Downs. That makes him a daunting 8 for 19 at Santa Anita.This year, besides Beholder, Mandella will try to win his first Breeders Cup Filly and Mare Turf with Avenge, front-running winner of the Rodeo Drive at Santa Anita last time out.Still, the story of the stable is Beholder. One week out from the Distaff, Mandella was busy ignoring all the elephants crowding his stable office.At 6, Beholder figures to be ripe for retirement by owner Wayne Hughes. Mandella insisted the subject hadnt come up, at least not within earshot of Beholder.We havent talked about it, Mandella said. We just do our job.There is also the issue of Beholders failure to answer the bell for the past two runnings of the Distaff -- first in 2014 at Santa Anita when she spiked a temperature 12 days before the race, and then last year at Keeneland when she bled after a routine gallop following her arrival in Kentucky.The idea that something might happen this time around to spoil the party nags like an itch nobody can scratch. Anyway, theres not enough wood on which to knock when Mandella pronounces her healthy, fit, and ready for perhaps the toughest test of her career.She looks pretty good to me, Mandella said Friday. But then, Im prejudiced.Beholder was loitering in her stall after a quiet morning, having worked a smooth three-quarters in 1:14 and change the day before under her Distaff jockey, Gary Stevens. Everything went by the book, except for what looked like a white handkerchief that escaped from beneath her saddle pad just behind the girth a few jumps into the work.They put a little piece of soft cotton under her pad because the girth tends to rub her there, Mandella said. Maybe thats what came out. But nobody mentioned it to me.Probably just as well, and the work was just what the trainer wanted after a fast move the previous week.We werent testing her any, Mandella noted. Just like any race the week before, it was just to give her a nice spin around the block. Shell get some good gallops now leading up to the race. But mostly Ill just sit here and look at her.And if this is goodbye?Itll leave a hole, for sure, Mandella said. But weve had that happen before. Never one quite like her, though. I really havent given it much thought. But when it does happen I sure will.
