Roethlisberger solid in relief, Steelers rout Browns 30-9

PITTSBURGH >> Ben Roethlisberger came off the bench to throw for 379 yards and three touchdowns as the Pittsburgh Steelers overwhelmed the hapless Browns and Johnny Manziel 30-9 on Sunday.

Roethlisberger began the game on the bench to rest his sprained left foot but entered in the first quarter after Landry Jones went down with a left ankle injury. Roethlisberger completed 22 of 33 passes and was sacked just once as Pittsburgh won its second straight.

Antonio Brown caught 10 passes for 139 yards and two scores as the Steelers (6-4) remained unbeaten at home against Cleveland (2-8) since 2003.

Manziel passed for a career-high 372 yards with a touchdown and an interception but was also sacked six times. The Browns, who have lost five straight, ran for just 15 yards and were penalized 11 times for 159 yards. Cleveland is 2-13 in its last 15 games under coach Mike Pettine.
