NEW YORK -- The non-stop nature of soccer helped and hindered NBCs Arlo White and Kate Markgraf in their coverage of the U.S. womens team, which lost to Sweden on penalty kicks and was bounced from the Olympics.The USA are distraught, White said, describing the aftermath of Lisa Dahlkvists deciding penalty.He expertly built the tension throughout the broadcast and reflected the significance of the three-time defending Olympic champions and defending World Cup winners heading home without a medal. White and Markgraf even caught a bit of soccer gamesmanship before the last penalty kick, when U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo changed gloves to make Dahlkvist wait a little while and think about her shot.There were two huge moments right before the penalty kicks when the Americans and then the Swedes had goals disallowed by the referee on what appeared to be questionable offside calls.Asked to take a stand on Lotta Schelins disallowed goal for Sweden, Markgraf hedged. The refs call appeared wrong, she said, but I do need to take another look at the play.She never got that chance. The soccer clock keeps ticking. When the extra time period ended shortly thereafter, NBC switched to a round of commercials and the controversial calls were not re-examined. Contrast that to an American football game, when theres enough downtime after a close call to see about a dozen replays.RATINGS: NBCs Thursday prime time, which featured gold-medal performances from American gymnast Simone Biles, swimmer Simone Manuel and, of course, Michael Phelps, reached 31.2 million, the Nielsen company said. That was the second highest viewership of the Rio de Janeiro Games so far, and ticked up to 33 million when online streaming and NBCSNs prime-time telecast are added in. NBC still hasnt topped its record-setting London Games from 2012, however, which had 36.8 million for the corresponding night.---Follow David Bauder at twitter.com/dbauder.

PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger did not mince words after the?Pittsburgh Steelers fourth straight loss, telling reporters multiple times that the team needs more accountability and discipline.The Steelers (4-5) lost 35-30 to the Dallas Cowboys thanks to two Ezekiel Elliott touchdown runs in the final two minutes when he went untouched up the middle.The scores negated a brilliant 75-yard scoring drive orchestrated by Roethlisberger, whose 15-yard touchdown toss to Antonio Brown off a Dan Marino-like fake spike with 42 seconds left gave the Steelers a 30-29 lead.We are undisciplined and not accountable, Roethlisberger said?from his locker. Thats why (the Cowboys) are one of the best in the business and were not right now.When asked how the team got to that point, Roethlisberger said, I dont know. Is it players? Is it coaches? I dont know, but we need to get there quick.Roethlisberger completed 37-of-46 passes for 408 yards and three touchdowns, but the numbers werent enough to extend his home winning streak to eight games.This isnt the first time this season Roethlisberger has included Steelers coaching in his assessments of the team. In October, Roethlisberger wondered aloud whether the Steelers physical practices contributed to aa multitude of player injuries over the last two years.ddddddddddddWhen youre doing it over and over and the guys shoulders are getting sore and knees start getting sore and hips and hamstrings and quads and things, and then they reoccur, youve got to maybe take a look at what youre doing, Roethlisberger said. We pride ourselves as the Pittsburgh Steelers being a physical football team, so its a fine line you have to walk.Coach Mike Tomlin responded that he welcomes all ideas about best practices and said Roethlisberger has been around here long enough to have an opinion and also express it.Roethlisberger also cautioned against the offensive game plans getting too creative after a Week 4 win over the?Kansas City Chiefs.Most Steelers players agree they need to clean up their play after Elliott and Dak Prescott combined for five touchdowns. Tomlin said the Steelers didnt have enough discipline and detail in our play to pull off the win.We obviously are making costly mistakes, and they hurt us, running back LeVeon Bell said. We need some more detail, and were going to keep falling short until we get that. ' ' '
