PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Cam Newton plans to have a very different view the next time he sees the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Carolina Panthers star, however, is OK if it ends with the same result he watched Thursday. Fozzy Whittaker ran for a 2-yard touchdown, Graham Gano added a short field goal and the Panthers beat the listless Steelers 10-0 in the preseason finale. The teams meet again in Charlotte on Sept. 24. By then, Newtons dinged-up ribs should be fine. Newton insists hell be ready by the season opener in 10 days against Tampa Bay and could start throwing again this weekend. "I feel pretty good now, and we have more than a week now until the opener," Newton said. "So, well see what happens as we get more into the week." Whittaker finished with 91 yards rushing for Carolina (2-2) and the defence did the rest as Carolina held the Steelers (1-3) to 185 total yards. "He is showing toughness," coach Ron Rivera said of Whittaker. "He got bumped a little bit, but he stuck it out." Carolina backup quarterback Derek Anderson — just hours removed from the birth of his first child with wife Mallory — led a 14-play, 62-yard drive to open the game. The methodical march included a fourth-and-1 conversion in Pittsburgh territory, perhaps early proof Rivera plans to keep the swashbuckling approach that helped turn the Panthers around in 2013 and earned him NFL Coach of the Year honours. Anderson had some help in the only consequential drive by either side with players who will see regular playing time when the games start to count. Carolina rookie wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin hauled in a 19-yard pass to get the Panthers going. Benjamin finished with four catches for 56 yards and had little trouble getting open against Pittsburghs aggressive secondary. "We are confident with (Benjamin) and we know he needs to learn and grow, its all part of the game," Rivera said. "I guess its a little risky, but he has to learn. If he doesnt learn now, hes going to have to learn while we are running and we dont want that." The drive was the highlight of Andersons night, at least on the field. He arrived in Pittsburgh overnight after his wife gave birth to their daughter Amelia. He completed 8 of 14 passes for 98 yards and left late in the second quarter when he injured his right hand trying to corral a snap that sailed over his head. Pittsburgh linebacker Jarvis Jones recovered, one of the few highlights for the Steelers on a night that did little to provide the momentum boost head coach Mike Tomlin was looking for heading into the season. "Were very much still a team in development, like all teams are," Tomlin said. "I think youre kidding yourself if you think youre a finished product this time of year." Steelers third-string quarterback Landry Jones started, but did little to assure himself of a roster spot when the rosters are trimmed to 53 players. Jones completed 14 of 18 passes for just 97 yards and failed to lead the Steelers into scoring range while Roethlisberger watched from the sideline with a towel around his shoulders. Pittsburghs first-string defence ended up working more than usual. Tomlin sent all the healthy names atop the depth chart onto the field to start the game, including defensive end Brett Keisel, who re-signed with Pittsburgh last week. Tomlin wanted to see if Keisel could "swim in the deep end of the pool." While Keisel looked spry for a player who turns 36 in a few weeks, the first unit allowed points for the fourth consecutive week. Steelers running backs LeVeon Bell and LeGarrette Blount — a week removed from being cited on marijuana possession — started the game on the bench but played sparingly in the first half. The team plans to discipline both players, but Tomlin stressed he would not reveal the punishment. Either way, Bell and Blount will be heavily involved this fall. The circumstances required for Landry Jones to see playing time the rest of 2014 are probably too farfetched to even ponder, but the former Oklahoma star didnt exactly produce a compelling argument for the Steelers to keep three quarterbacks on the active roster behind Roethlisberger and backup Bruce Gradkowski. Jones declined to speculate on whether hell still have a job next week. "I have no idea," he said. "This business, being cut, staying here, thats so far out of my control I dont even like thinking about it." ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFLRams Jerseys China .

England were denied victory in their Euro 2016 Group B clash when conceding a stoppage-time goal to draw 1-1 at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille on Saturday. It was a familiar story for England, who have never won their opening match at a European Championship and began their campaign 20 years ago with a 1-1 draw against Switzerland at Wembley. England face a crucial Battle of Britain against Wales in Lens on Thursday, evoking memories of their 2-0 victory over Scotland in the group stage at Euro 96. Paul Gascoigne celebrates his famous goal for England against Scotland at Euro 96 Venables, who was in charge of England during the Championships and led them to the semi-finals before losing on penalties to Germany, is convinced the current crop of players can bounce back from Saturdays disappointment.Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, he said: Thats what happened to us. We had a draw against Switzerland and then we had to play against Scotland. Talking about motivation, you couldnt get more motivation than playing Scotland. England v Wales: Past meetings How have the Three Lions fared in previous meetings against The Dragons? I knew in the first 10, 15, 25 minutes that the Scots would come and hit us like a brick wall. They played really, really well for the opening 30 minutes, but for the rest of the game it went well for us, especially in the second half. The main thing yyou must make sure of is that you dont lose the opening match.dddddddddddd Once you lose, everybody gets a bit nervy, so youve got to hold your nerve. They didnt want to lose the first game, they will want to be winning from the second game onwards. Eric Dier (C) stunning free-kick was cancelled out by Vasili Berezutskis header We had Scotland which was a tough game and of course we had the Netherlands and Spain, so the first game was helpful that we did draw. So, dont worry too much about the draw. If its a draw youre still in it.Normally on the first game, you can have a good bet on it being a draw. You find that every team wants to get a point on the board after the opening game so theyve got something they can be happy about and take that into the second game. Terry Venables (L), alongside coach Bryan Robson, led England to the semi-finals of Euro 96 Venables is confident England will improve and has backed Roy Hodgsons Rolls Royce players to start picking up victories. Roy has got the squad, they have been training really well and I think weve got some real Rolls Royce players as far as I am concerned, he said. They have to keep themselves to themselves, let other people do the talking and well do all the action. I think we can look forward to some good results.
