LATROBE, Pa. -- The last thing the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions wanted from their two-day joint training camp practices was a fight.Instead of inefficient, fight-filled workouts, the Steelers and Lions went through a pair of intense, yet productive practices, featuring only a few minor skirmishes on the second day, heading into their preseason opener Friday night at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.Its just good to get some unfamiliar faces and some unfamiliar schemes to really test us, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. The benefit of it is unbelievable.The Steelers previously hosted Buffalo at St. Vincent College in 2014, but it was the first joint training camp practice for the Lions since 2000 against Carolina.You get an even more realistic look, rather than waiting until the first preseason game, Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. The intensity of the practice, I think when youre working against someone you havent worked against, it automatically takes it up.The practices didnt feature any live tackling between the two teams and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was excused from the first session Tuesday. He worked out on Wednesday.There was a distinct AFC North flavor with former Baltimore defensive tackle Haloti Ngata now with the Lions. Wide receiver Marvin Jones and defensive lineman Wallace Gilberry, also with the Lions, were both members of the Cincinnati team the Steelers beat in a memorable AFC wild-card game in January.You try to work together to get better, Ngata said. Youre not trying to come out here and be a big dog and try to finish guys. You just come out and get some productive work.Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown and Lions cornerback Darius Slay were two of the most productive during the first day of practice. Slay sat out Wednesday with a `medical situation according to Caldwell.The two battled head-to-head on Tuesday though, as Brown got the better of Slay two out of three times with deep-ball touchdowns during one-on-one drills. Brown had a rare end zone drop on another deep ball, but beat Slay again later in practice.The first (deep route) I expected for the crowd, but three in a row, I was like `oh my goodness, Im already going to die here, Slay said. He said `Im going deep all day Slay, and I said `no, you cannot. He tried to kill me, man.Brown, who caught 136 passes for 1,834 yards last season, set NFL records, becoming the first player in league history with 526 receptions in his first six years and the first to catch at least 125 passes in consecutive seasons.Slay, the Lions top cornerback, regularly lined up opposite the now-retired Calvin Johnson in practice. The former second-round pick came away impressed by the slippery 5-foot-10 Brown.Its different because I can get my hands on Calvin, said Slay, who recently signed a $50 million deal that runs through the 2020 season. I never seen that kind of guy in my division, whos shifty and makes big-time plays. Hes one of the best in the business. It can only make me better.Quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Lions offense also seek improvement after finishing 20th in the league last season. The group took a step Tuesday when Stafford connected with tight end Cole Wick in the corner of the end zone. Jones, who signed a five-year contract after setting career highs last season in Cincinnati, drew double coverage on the play, allowing Wick to break free.Theres tons of work to be done between now and the season opener, Stafford said. Thats what these days are for. Its fun to come out and get different looks that we dont see when we play our defense.Game notes Roethlisberger, Brown, RB LeVeon Bell, C Maurkice Pouncey, RB DeAngelo Williams, WR Markus Wheaton and first-round pick CB Artie Burns arent expected to play Friday against the Lions.

TURIN, Italy -- Gonzalo Higuain showed his best and worst sides as Juventus was held to a 1-1 draw against Lyon on Wednesday, with the Italian hosts missing the chance to ensure qualification for the Champions League knockout stage with two matches to spare.Higuain netted a penalty in the 13th minute but missed an open goal shortly before halftime. Juventus looked on course for the win but Corentin Tolisso leveled six minutes from time.It was the first goal Juventus has conceded in this seasons competition.Juventus slipped to second in Group H, two points behind Sevilla -- which beat Dinamo Zagreb 4-0 -- and four points above Lyon. Juventus visits Seville on Nov. 22, having drawn 0-0 at home to the Spanish side in September, and coach Massimiliano Allegri believes his side can still snatch top spot.It was important to win at home to mathematically qualify but in the Champions League you need a bit of luck, Allegri said. Were still in the fight for first place, so I think Juventus is on the right path in the Champions League as well as domestically.It would have been ideal to qualify tonight but maybe then in the end we would have gone to Sevilla tired and would have lost first place.Lyon can sneak into the last 16 if it wins its final two group games and results elsewhere go its way.Im happy about the goal because it gives us a small chance of qualification, Tolisso said. Now we have to try and beat Zagreb and hope that Juventus beats Sevilla and then that will set us up for our final group game at home to Sevilla.Juventus showed its attacking intent from the start, playing with a 4-3-1-2 formation, as Miralem Pjanics effort was hooked off the line by Moucttar Diakhaby -- although the Juventus player was harshly flagged offside.dddddddddddd.Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was making his 100th Champions League appearance and he was called into an early save to deny Maciej Rybus.At the other end Anthony Lopes also pulled off a great stop to keep out Mario Mandzukics powerful strike.Juventus took the lead minutes later. Higuain burst down the left flank and threaded the ball through for Stefano Sturaro, who was barged over by Diakhaby.Higuain converted into the bottom left corner for his ninth goal for Juventus, since moving from Napoli in the offseason for an Italian record fee.It was also the Argentina forwards 100th goal for Italian clubs.Claudio Marchisio was making his first Champions League appearance since February, having spent six months out with a cruciate ligament injury, and he almost scored his first goal since his return but fired narrowly wide of the left post for Juventus.Higuain should have doubled his tally after Mandzukic burst forward into the area and unselfishly rolled the ball across the box but the Argentine blazed over an open goal from 15 yards (meters) out.His side was nearly made to pay immediately for his miss as Rachid Ghezzal controlled a throw in and shrugged off a couple of challenges but fired just the wrong side of the right-hand post.Lyon upped the pressure in the second half but never really tested Buffon, although the Italy goalkeeper was prevented from keeping his 43rd clean sheet in the competition when Tolisso headed in Ghezzals free kick.
