FRISCO, Texas -- The issue is no longer whether Dak Prescott will start ahead of a healthy Tony Romo for Dallas.Now the question is how far the Cowboys can go with a rookie quarterback after they tied a franchise record with their eighth straight win and a few hours later ended up with the NFLs best record when New England lost to Seattle.Prescotts performance in the fourth quarter of a wild 35-30 win at Pittsburgh stole any of the surprise there might have been with owner and general manager Jerry Jones declaring afterward that Romo would be the backup Sunday at home against Baltimore (5-4).It will be a few days shy of a year since the last time the 36-year-old Romo was active for a game. And it has been 10 years since Romo, who broke a bone in his back in a preseason game, wasnt the Dallas starter.The teams longest same-season winning streak since Roger Staubach took Dallas to the Super Bowl 39 years ago makes the decision easy.Its just going with the obvious, Jones said. I get asked about it every time I open my mouth. Its not hard. Its not hard at all. Tony would make the same decision.Prescott directed two 75-yard touchdown drives in the fourth quarter with the Cowboys (8-1) trailing the Steelers by a point each time. While fellow standout rookie Ezekiel Elliott finished both with touchdown runs , Prescott made several big throws.On the winning drive that started with 42 seconds left after the Steelers went ahead, Prescott completed a 13-yarder to Jason Witten one play before another completion to the tight end ended with a facemask penalty that put the Cowboys in field-goal range before Elliotts winning run with 9 seconds remaining.Dallas trailed most of the game in part because of a lost fumble by Prescott early.Thats one of the most important parts of that position is to be able to handle the adversity of it, coach Jason Garrett said. From series to series, from quarter to quarter, half to half and throughout the ballgame, youve just got to keep banging away.Elliotts numbers are getting more attention because hes the NFL rushing leader (1,005 yards) and has a shot at Eric Dickersons rookie record (1,808 yards in 1983). But Prescott is completing 67 percent of his passes with 14 touchdowns and two interceptions.The 23-year-old from Mississippi State -- a fourth-round pick after the Cowboys couldnt pull of a trade for Paxton Lynch, who went to Denver in the first round -- has road wins over a pair of Super Bowl champions in Green Bays Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers Ben Roethlisberger.And Prescott essentially outdueled Roethlisberger, who threw for 408 yards and executed a fake-spike touchdown pass to put the Steelers ahead in the final minute.You see what a veteran quarterback can do, Jones said. But you also see what Dak can do. That was a pretty nice little template to look at right there.A month ago, the Cowboys figured to have a touchy subject looming. Not now, says Jones.There is no fragileness about this, with the team or the coaches, Jones said. Dak is earning his way. Tony has earned his way. Both of them can play quarterback well enough to win games.And the Cowboys have upgraded the backup job, with Romo replacing Mark Sanchez.Game notes Garrett said TE Geoff Swaim will have surgery for a pectoral injury. He is expected to be out for the season. ...

LOUIS -- Robby Fabbri insists nothing has changed since being a healthy scratch for the first time in his career. His play says otherwise.Jaden Schwartz and Kyle Brodziak scored early in the third period to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 4-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.Fabbri and Scottie Upshall also scored and Jake Allen made 23 saves for the Blues, who snapped a three-game skid and beat the Sabres for the ninth straight time.Maybe just more attention to little details, but my games stayed the same, said Fabbri, who has scored three goals in two games since returning to the lineup. Just trying to stick to that, stay positive and keep going here.Sam Reinhart scored and Robin Lehner stopped 27 shots for the Sabres, who lost their fifth consecutive game.The Blues are 4-0-2 in their last six at home and have allowed two goals or fewer in eight of their nine games at the Scottrade Center this season.Schwartz broke a 1-1 tie 44 seconds into the third period on a rebound past a prone Lehner, who had made a sprawling save to stop Dmitrij Jaskins breakaway moments before.It was a great play by Jask, Schwartz said. He had a lot of speed and made a good power move and just a fortunate bounce for me. I think anyone could have put that in.Brodziak tipped in Ryan Reaves pass to give the Blues a 3-1 lead at 2:16 of the third. It was Brodziaks first goal since April 4 against Arizona.While Fabbri is known for his skill, the second-year player changed the game with his fists by getting into a second-period fight with Josh Gorges a couple of minutes after Gorges checked Alexander Steen hard into the boards. It was just the second fight of Fabbris NHL career, the other coming Feb. 14 against Tampa Bay.I dont know what got into me, but I wanted to be that guy so I went out on that shift so I asked him, Fabbri said. And the funny part is I asked him again and hes like, `Are you sserious? and Im like, `Well yeah, kind of, so thats what happened.ddddddddddddSteen briefly returned after the hit, but was taken out of the game shortly after for precautionary reasons. He will be re-evaluated Wednesday.Reaves said Fabbris willingness to stick up for a teammate energized the Blues.It only motivates us when a guy like that who doesnt fight and hes a skill player goes and sticks up for our team, Reaves said. Youve got to give him that pat on the back and if that doesnt get you up, you might as well sit down. And he did a good job. If he would have landed that first one it would have been night-night.Reinharts power-play goal gave the Sabres a 1-0 lead at 7:55 of the first period. The goal came 18 seconds after Upshall took an ill-advised hooking penalty for St. Louis in Buffalos zone.Fabbri tied it three minutes later. All three of his goals during his streak have come on the power play.Lehner made 11 saves and Allen made eight saves in a scoreless second period. Allen robbed Reinhart with his left pad midway through the frame, while Lehner stopped a Jaskin shot from the slot late in the period.Were strapped for goals, Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said. Were strapped for opportunities to get the goal and its not for a lack of effort, guys are throwing it out there and giving everything they got.Game notes Blues F Nail Yakupov was a healthy scratch for the fourth time in six games. ... Sabres F Ryan OReilly (middle body) and D Dmitry Kulikov (undisclosed) missed the game with injuries. ... Sabres F William Carrier was the Blues second-round pick (No. 57 overall) in 2013, but was traded to Buffalo in the deal that brought Ryan Miller and Steve Ott to St. Louis.UP NEXTSabres: Host Tampa Bay on Thursday night.Blues: Host San Jose on Thursday night.
