BALTIMORE -- Wide receiver Antonio Brown knows what the Pittsburgh Steelers must do to combat the constant double-teams he is facing.Others have to step up, said Brown from his locker after Sundays 21-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.Brown didnt say this as an indictment on his teammates, but matter-of-factly when discussing the attention he gets from defenders. Brown said the Ravens sometimes shaded a third defender, a linebacker, on him during routes. This setup begs other playmakers to win one-on-ones.Brown finished the game with 7 catches for 85 yards and 1 touchdown, but much of that production came in the fourth quarter as the Steelers (4-4) battled back from a 21-0 deficit.The Steelers offense has struggled in three straight road games, leaving an uphill climb to the playoffs. Pittsburgh had 69 yards of total offense through the first three quarters. With 55 catches for 677 yards and 6 touchdowns, Brown is having a fine season but not producing at the otherworldly level of the past two years.After Brown said the Ravens used a lot of guys to take me away, he was asked whats required of the Steelers other receivers when that happens.They need to find a way to step in, step up and make plays, Brown said. Its been about eight weeks so far, and thats what weve been seeing -- double coverage. Today it was triple coverage with a linebacker coming over, and we just have to find ways to win. Other guys have to step up. It just shows that people got respect for me, but we have to find a way to win no matter what they do. Its all about what we do.Steelers quarterback?Ben Roethlisberger took ownership of the loss Sunday, saying after the game, I didnt make plays, I didnt convert third downs.But the Steelers have struggled to find a reliable No. 2 receiver behind Brown, who benefited from?Martavis Bryants playmaking last year. Bryant is suspended, and though Sammie Coates produced 421 yards through the first five games, he has been quiet in his past three outings while coming back from a finger injury.Eli Rogers led the team with 103 receiving yards Sunday, most of which came late in the game, but he didnt play the previous game against the New England Patriots because of what he called a coachs decision.Running back?LeVeon Bell?is a talented pass-catcher, but he can only do so much from the backfield.We cant make any excuses, said Brown about being 4-4. Weve got to find a way to continue to get better, and we get a fresh start next week. Weve got to get things on the right side.Discount China Jerseys . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries.

Traditional contenders Brazil, Greece and Turkey drew the other three spots to complete the 24-team field for this summers tournament in Spain, basketball governing body FIBA announced Saturday at its meeting in Barcelona.COLUMBIA, S.C. -- The Southern Conference will keep four league championships in North Carolina despite the NCAA and the Atlantic Coast Conference withdrawing championships because of the state law restricting the rights of LGBT people.The league said it will honor commitments for these tournaments: mens soccer in Greensboro, mens and womens basketball in Asheville and mens golf in Pinehurst.We dont want to punish the local host communities by pulling the championships out of the state this year, Commissioner John Iamarino said Friday. That point did resonate with presidents and chancellors.The league said in a statement its presidents and chancellors reaffirmed their resolute opposition to legislation that discriminates against any individual.Iamarino said his conference was prepared for criticism in light of the NCAA and ACC decisions over the North Carolinas law, which excludes gender identity and sexual orientation from local and statewide antidiscrimination protections. It also requires transgender people to use restrooms at schools and government buildings corresponding to the sex on their birth certificates.HB2 was signed into law this year by Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, who has defended it as a commonsense safety and security measure.The Southern Conference is headquartered in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Its 10 schools -- Citadel, Chattanooga, East Tennessee, Furman, Mercer, UNC Greensboro, Samford, VMI, Western Carolina and Wofford -- are in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.The decision on the championships came after two conference calls among league leaders.While not unanimous, we found enough commoon ground to get to this point, Iamarino said.ddddddddddddHe said the league was influenced by the North Carolina host communities, all urging the conference to hold its events as planned. In Asheville, Iamarino said he met with about 30 people, including some from the LGBT community, who promised to fight the HB2 law but wanted the basketball tournaments to remain.Iamarino said the venues involved are privately controlled and the league is confident of there will be an inclusive atmosphere at the events. The mens golf event will be held at Pinehurst Country Club and the basketball at a neutral site in Asheville.The soccer will be played on the Greensboro campus.Earlier this month, the NCAA removed seven championships from North Carolina, including first- and second-round games of the mens basketball tournament scheduled for Greensboro. The ACC soon followed suit, pulling 10 of its championships from the state, including the football title game that was scheduled for Charlotte.The ACC on Thursday relocated the football game to Orlando, Florida.Iamarino said Southern Conference presidents and chancellors will meet in May to see if more action is necessary. He said theres concern similar laws could extend beyond North Carolina.This could be a long-term issue, he said.Iamarino said hes also concerned the schools against keeping the championships in North Carolina might take their own actions, perhaps boycotting the league events played there.Its a real concern, he said. Well continue to communicate and prepare for everything. ' ' '
