ARLINGTON, Texas -- Maybe the Cowboys will be OK without quarterback Tony Romo this time. The future of the Dallas running game with Ezekiel Elliott looks pretty good, too.Dak Prescott led scoring drives on all four Dallas possessions in the first half before throwing his first career touchdown pass in fellow rookie Elliotts first 100-yard game, and the Cowboys beat the Chicago Bears 31-17 on Sunday night to snap an eight-game home losing streak.With his second straight win, Prescott doubled the number of victories the Cowboys (2-1) had in 14 games without the injured Romo over three seasons before the fourth-round pick showed up.Prescotts first TD pass was a 17-yarder to Dez Bryant for a 31-10 lead in the fourth quarter, and hes up to 99 throws without an interception to start his career. Philadelphias Carson Wentz has 102, and those are the two highest career-opening totals for a rookie in NFL history.Daks handled every opportunity hes had right from the start really, really well, coach Jason Garrett said. No different tonight.Brian Hoyer had trouble moving the Chicago offense early with Jay Cutler sidelined by a sprained right thumb as the Bears fell behind 24-3 at halftime and dropped to 0-3 for the second time in two seasons under coach John Fox.Making his 27th career start for his fourth different team, Hoyer was 30 of 49 for 317 yards -- a good portion of that with the game out of each late in the fourth quarter -- and threw for two scores to Zach Miller.We havent played a complete game, Fox said. This week was the reverse of what weve had. We played very poorly in the first half.Elliott finished with 140 yards on 30 carries, including a 14-yard run when he hurdled safety Chris Prosinski. The Cowboys kept giving him the ball while trying to work the clock with a two-touchdown lead in the fourth quarter a week after he was benched because of two fumbles in a win over Washington.Made a lot of good runs tonight, a lot tough runs, a lot of NFL runs, Garrett said. Hes physically tough. Hes mentally tough.It didnt even bother Prescott that Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith missed just the second game of his six-year career after his back tightened up during the week.Prescott was 19 of 24 for 248 yards in Dallas first home win since last years opener, which was a week before the first of two broken left collarbones that kept Romo out of 12 games last season.Romo is expected to miss about another month after breaking a bone in his back in the preseason.Prescott had one of three rushing touchdowns for the Cowboys, who have seven this season after getting eight all of last year, when they finished 4-12.Because the Bears fell behind again, they couldnt do much with the running game. They had just 15 carries for 73 yards and lost leading rusher Jeremy Langford to an ankle injury in the second half.BRYANTS STATUSOwner Jerry Jones said Bryant likely has a sprained right knee after his leg bent awkwardly when the 2014 All-Pro he was tackled on his first catch early in the game. An MRI was planned this week. Bryant wasnt in the locker room when it was open to reporters after the game.MISSING PIECESIt was Chicagos first game without linebackers Danny Trevathan (sprain thumb) and Lamarr Houston (season-ending left ACL year). And the Bears struggled to slow the Cowboys, getting outgained 274-114 in the first half. Dallas had a 19-4 edge in first downs before halftime and finished with 447 yards, including 199 on the ground.STAYING ALIVEThe Cowboys were on their way to a score on a fifth straight possession when Terrance Williams fumbled at the end of a 47-yard catch on the opening drive of the second half. The Bears turned that into the first of Hoyers two TDs to Miller, a 2-yarder on fourth down to cut it to 24-10.QUOTABLEPrescott on finally getting his first touchdown pass: I had a couple of close moments there earlier in the game. And then to get Dez in there, it took a lot of attempts, but it happened.Hoyer: One thing I will say is its the resilience of the room to come back out down 24-3 at halftime and just keep battling. Youve just got to take that and build on it, and figure out how to move the ball a little better.INJURIESChicago S Harold Jones-Quartey left with a concussion in the first half and didnt return. ... The Cowboys lost another lineman when LG Lael Collins missed the second half with a sprained foot. Ron Leary, the starter who lost his job to Collins this season, was his replacement.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuylerAdidas Nmd Wholesale China . -- Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover.

Identifying the song that identified each team?was too much fun, so now were looking at movies.?1. Duke Blue Devils: Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) After what, by Blue Devils standards, was an off year -- a Sweet 16 loss to Oregon, an 11-loss season overall -- and questions about how the roster could become so short of players, Duke is back. And then some. Coach Mike Krzyzewski will return from coaching the U.S. Olympic team to a squad thats nearly just as loaded with stars. Grayson Allen, Amile Jefferson, Matt Jones, Luke Kennard and Chase Jeter return. And then there are the new kids -- five top-100 players, including top-rated Harry Giles. So much for roster problems. And lets face it, a lot of people still think the Blue Devils are the Darth Vaders of college hoops. -- Dana ONeil2. Villanova Wildcats: Gladiator (2000) Coach Jay Wrights program will enter 2016-17 as a legit threat to win another national championship. Much like Russell Crowes character in this 2000 classic, the Wildcats will only survive and reach the final stages of the NCAA tournament with decisive victories over a ridiculous fleet of contenders in a landscape that contains a competitive breadth that the 2015-16 season lacked. Villanova stands in the middle of college basketballs coliseum as rebooted Duke, Kentucky, Arizona, Kansas, UNC, Big East rival Xavier and others all plot to knock out the champion and snatch its crown. And the Wildcats are wounded without Daniel Ochefu and Ryan Arcidiacono. They wont surrender, however, without a fight. Dont bet against them. -- Myron Medcalf3. Kentucky Wildcats: The Aviator (2004) So, sure, John Calipari presumably doesnt share the devastating obsessive-compulsive disorder that director Martin Scorsese and titular star Leonardo DiCaprio so vividly depicted in the 2004 film. He probably doesnt sit there, unshaven, in a film room, listing his requirements for sanitized cookie delivery. But what makes The Aviator so good is that just as many of its best scenes show Howard Hughes thinking big, pushing boundaries and innovating with abandon -- a man driven by some unseen force that even he barely understands. Sound like a coach you know? (Plus, if Hughes were still alive, he would totally take a private jet to a Drake concert. Hed fly it himself.) -- Eamonn Brennan4. Kansas Jayhawks: The Music Man (1962) Kansas coach Bill Self isnt the conniving swindler that Robert Prestons Harold Hill was, but there are some similarities. Like Hill, Self didnt exactly plant roots at his previous stops: His previous longest stint as a head coach was four years at Oral Roberts. But just as Hill fell in love with River City, Iowa (and a certain librarian in it), Self fell in love with another small Midwestern town. And the citizens of Lawrence have returned the favor, thanks in large part to Selfs run of 12 consecutive Big 12 titles. -- Sam Strong5. Virginia Cavaliers: A Few Good Men (1992) To paraphrase Jack Nicholsons iconic scene as Col. Jessup: The Cavaliers style of play, while grotesque and incomprehensible to fans who want to see an up-tempo game, has helped produce two No. 1 seeds over the past three seasons, as well as two ACC regular-season titles. You dont want the truth because deep down in places you dont talk about at parties, you want the Wahoos to succeed. You need the Hoos to succeed. -- C.L. Brown6. North Carolina Tar Heels: Catch 22 (1970) Here is the plight for the Tar Heels this season: If they are good, the critics will carp that the academic scandal that has been tailing the program for years ought to have long ago rendered the Tar Heels obsolete. A winning North Carolina program only serves to further invoke the ire of the multitudes who cant understand how allegations against the mens basketball team were removed from the NCAAs amended notice of allegations. On the other hand, if the Tar Heels dont win -- well how can that be with talents such as?Justin Jackson, Nate Britt, Theo Pinson, Joel Berry and?Kennedy Meeks?on the roster? -- ONeil7. Oregon Ducks: Guess Who (2005) This is the 2005 remake of a 1967 classic starring Sidney Poitier. In Bernie Macs version, Ashton Kutcher aint exactly what his girlfriends family expects when he first meets them. By the end of the movie, however, Mac and Kutcher are buddies (because everybody loves Ashton Kutcher in every movie/TV show hes in), and they give one another the respect they both deserve. Thats Oregons situation. Even though the Ducks reached the Elite Eight last season and bulldozed the Pac-12 for three months, theyre still mentioned after the blue-chippers in conversations about national title contenders. If, by the end of this season,?Tyler Dorsey and Dillon Brooks have carried Oregon to another Pac-12 title and deep NCAA tournament run, the Ducks might finally earn the respect they did not receive in 2015-16. -- Medcalf8. Wisconsin Badgers: The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) Greg Gard hails from a tiny farm town in Wisconsin; most of his players are from the Midwest. On a literal level, they have very little to do with Royal Tenenbaums elite Manhattan family. Thats not the point. The point is that The Royal Tenenbaums is one of the best ensemble movies weve ever seen -- a film, like much of Wes Andersons canon, in which no member of the cast is weak and almost everyone is super-strong. Thats the biggest reason to be optimistic about the Badgers next season: Their entire team (which only hit its stride midway through last season, after a 9-9 start) is back, and both the sum of the parts and the whole look promising. -- Brennan9. Xavier Musketeers: Groundhog Day (1993) Xavier has to be a Bill Murray movie, right? And considering Murrays son Luke, who happens to be a Musketeers assistant, hasnt seen Caddyshack,?were going with Groundhog Day because the same thing seems to keep happening with coach Chris Macks program. Its not a bad thing by any means, but the Musketeers are always steady, having gone to the NCAA tournament in six of Macks seven seasons. Mack has never advanced past the Sweet 16, however. A trip to the Final Four, which seems possible this season, might break the Punxsutawney loop. -- Strong10. Michigan State Spartans: Boomerang (1992) Eddie Murphy hit rock bottom in his love life in this 1992 romantic comedy before winning over Halle Berry as the consolation prize. The Spartans historic loss to No. 15 seed Middle Tennessee State in the NCAA tournaments first round was the kind of depressing upset that could have them sitting in a dark room listening to Sade. But they already look primed to bounce back next season and again be considered a national title contender. -- Brown11. Indiana Hoosiers: Revenge of the Nerds (1984) A year ago, coach Tom Crean started his own Season on the Brink -- on the brink of perhaps being let go, that is. Issues off the court and losses on it made the coach a less-than-popular man in Bloomington. The coach merely pushed his glasses back onto the bridge of his nose, quick-stepped his way down the sideline, ignored the noise and went to work. The result? A 27-8 team that finished No. 9 in the nation and took down rival Kentucky in the NCAA tournaments second round. Now with?Thomas Bryant returning and James Blackmon Jr.?healthy, Crean is having the last laugh. -- ONeil12. Arizona Wildcats: Field of Dreams (1989) If you build it, they will come. Well, Sean Miller didnt build it. But he has extended the legacy of a program that Lute Olson championed for nearly 30 years in Tucson. Once again, Miller will boast a roster, anchored by Allonzo Trier, that can battle the best in the country. No matter what happens, Miller will continue to face questions about the Final Four, the hurdle hes still trying to clear. He, like Kevin Costner, cant escape that pursuit, that journey, that dream. We shouldnt judge coaches on Final Four trips alone. But its a major element of our analysis. And its a lingering question for Millers career. So if he builds another elite team, will a trip to the Final Four come?? Well see.dddddddddddd. -- Medcalf13. Louisville Cardinals: Citizen Kane (1941) The ongoing NCAA investigation into the Louisville program seems ripped from era of yellow journalism: Prostitution! Scandal! University rocked by salacious expose! Its the kind of headline Orson Welles William Randolph Hearst/Harold McCormick industrialist mash-up Charles Foster Kane would have giddily run, particularly about a
