Matt Prater Jersey . After posting a career-low 5.5 Total QBR and suffering a torn meniscus in a loss to the Miami Dolphins, he returned less than three weeks after surgery to post the seventh-worst Total QBR of his career (16.6) in a key AFC North loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. This is the worst two-game stretch Roethlisberger has compiled since 2006, the first season we have QBR data for.This stretch has dropped him in the QBR rankings as well. Even after his bad game against Miami, Roethlisberger ranked sixth in the league (74.0 Total QBR), but after another subpar effort in Week 9 (as well as others performing better while he was away), Roethlisberger has dropped to 12th in the league with a 65.4 Total QBR.So what has gone wrong for Big Ben in his past two games?For starters, his third-down production has fallen off a cliff.During the first five games of the season Roethlisberger was one of the best quarterbacks in the league on third down, converting 52 percent of his pass attempts into first downs while averaging more than 10.5 yards per attempt with six touchdowns and no picks. He also took only two third-down sacks. This was good for a 92.7 raw QBR, second-best in the league through five weeks.But in his past two games hes only converted 22 percent of his pass attempts into first downs, is averaging 4.7 yards per attempt, hasnt thrown a touchdown and has been sacked three times for a 0.3 raw QBR -- last in the league during that time.Part of the issue is the Steelers inability to gain yardage on first- and second-downs (where Roethlisberger has also seen sharp drops in his QBR, from 75.4 in Weeks 1 through 5 to 19.7 in Weeks 6 and 9), setting up more difficult third downs. During his first five games, Pittsburghs average third-down distance was 6.5 yards, third-shortest in the league, but in Weeks 6 through 9 (noting that Roethlisberger didnt play in Week 7) the Steelers average third-down distance jumped to 8 yards, fourth-longest in the league.Hes also having trouble dealing with the pass rush, with injuries logically playing a key role there.One of Roethlisbergers key traits is being able to deal with pressure and extend plays, but his mobility has been limited. Going into Week 6, Roethlisbergers raw QBR while pressured was 32.6, which doesnt sound great, but was right around league average for that point in the season. Also, Roethlisberger has been historically better than most, ranking in the top 10 in QBR while pressured every season since 2011. And over his past two games (while granting it is a very small sample size) his raw QBR while pressured is a 0.3.The good news for Steelers fans is if Big Ben can get healthy there is every reason to think he can climb back up the leaderboard. Following his last slump in 2015, he rebounded to post a Total QBR of 80-plus in five of his next seven games.A look at Roethlisbergers QBR trends thus far in 2016:

Nick Bellore Jersey . Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off.

MIAMI -- David Phelps, finally converted to a full-time reliever, was having the best season of his career.Since the 29-year-old Phelps broke into the big leagues in 2012 with the New York Yankees, he has been yanked between the starting rotation (60 times) and relief work (101).Once again, Phelps is back in a starting role and will take the ball in Wednesdays series finale against the San Francisco Giants.This year, though, had appeared to be different. Phelps was re-cast -- for the first time in his career -- as an eighth-inning set-up reliever. And after three straight years of ERAs well over 4.00, Phelps had a 1.20 ERA in April, 2.57 in May, 3.46 in June and 3.65 in July.True, Phelps ERA was trending up, but he was still effective overall this season, and he was dominant at times. For example, he had 12.9 strikeouts per nine innings in May and a 14.6 ratio in July.But instead of leaving him in that eighth-inning role, the Marlins tempted fate. First, they traded for San Diego Padres closer Fernando Rodney on June 30, putting him in Phelps spot in the eighth inning. That pushed Phelps back to the seventh.Next, the Marlins -- short of starting pitchers -- switched Phelps back to the rotation last week. Phelps made his 2016 starting debut last week, pitching 4 1/3 scoreless innings while allowing four hits and one walk.Phelps needs to go longer, of course, especially since the Marlins bullpen has been ineffective of late.The Marlins bullpen blew a 5-1 lead in their first inning of work in Mondays seventh inning. Moving Phelps to the rotation appears to have weakened the bullpen without fully fixing the problem with the starters. Thats a lose-lose for Miami.

He is 4-1 with a 3.81 ERA in 16 career appearances, including seven starts, against the Marlins.Samardzija hasnt pitched in Marlins Park since June 17, 2014, when he went six innings and allowed three runs, all unearned.Marlins right fielder Giancarlo Stanton, who hit a broken-bat RBI double that one-hopped the wall in left field on Tuesday, will be rested on Wednesday. Stanton has a sore leg, according to Marlins manager Don Mattingly.The Marlins will instead start Ichiro Suzuki.I think (Stanton is) alright, Mattingly said. He had some soreness in the hip area today before the game. He jammed his leg pretty good on that catch he made (Monday). We were going to rest him (Wednesday) anyway.Giants catcher Buster Posey, who caught 14 innings on Monday and rested on Tuesday, is expected to return to the lineup on Wednesday. He is also battling a finger injury that he sustained while sliding into a base on Monday.The Giants are locked in a tight battle with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the NL West.Theres a lot of season left, Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford said. If the division is tied, its not going to ruin our season. We are just going to keep getting after it.
