ARLINGTON, Texas -- Rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott keep winning for the Dallas Cowboys, even with Kirk Cousins setting records for the Washington Redskins.Prescott accounted for two touchdowns , Elliott ran for a pair of scores and the Cowboys extended their franchise regular-season record with a 10th straight victory, beating the Redskins 31-26 on Thursday.Prescott tied Don Merediths club quarterback record from 50 years ago with his fifth rushing TD and the NFL-leading Cowboys (10-1) won despite 449 yards passing and three touchdowns from Cousins, the first Redskins quarterback with two 400-yard games in a season.You know youre talking to someone who knows how hard this is to win 10 games in a row, and I do, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said. I know how were getting it done, and were getting done by hard work and Daks a great example.The Redskins (6-4-1) got swept by their NFC East rival, and the defending division champions fell 3 1/2 games behind Dallas with five games left. It was their seventh loss in eight tries on Thanksgiving against Cowboys, who had never won more than eight straight in the regular season.Weve been in third place for a while, so we have to understand where we are what its going to take to get an opportunity to come back here in the future, Washington coach Jay Gruden said. The last five games of the year are critical.Elliott, the NFL rushing leader, had the fourth score on five straight second-half touchdown drives between the two teams with a 1-yard run for a 31-19 lead midway through the fourth quarter. The 21-year-old had 97 yards to give him 1,199 for the season.After getting 43 yards on the first Dallas possession, Elliott had just 13 yards before a 21-yarder to start Dallas last TD drive. It was the second straight week he finished with 97 yards after some difficulty in the first half.Over time, you keep running the football, youre going to wear them down, Dallas coach Jason Garrett said. He made some big runs late that were critical. It really broke their back.The Cowboys had an eight-game streak with at least 400 yards snapped, finishing with 353. But Dallas answered with touchdowns each time the Redskins got within a score on Cousins passes of 5 yards to Jordan Reed and 67 yards to DeSean Jackson , who had 118 yards receiving.After Cousins second scoring toss to Reed, an 8-yarder with 1:53 remaining, Dustin Hopkins onside kick went out of bounds. The Cowboys ran out the clock.The way Dallas was able to come back and put points on the board in those situations is part of the reason why they are such a good football team, said Cousins , who was 41 of 53 and finished 8 yards shy of his career high.As an offense, whenever we got the football, it was pretty much the same. Move the football, put points on the board, make good decisions and manage it well.Cousins took the Washington career lead with his third 400-yard game and became the first Redskins quarterback with consecutive 350-yard games since Jay Schroeder in 1986. He had 375 last week against Green Bay.Reed had 10 catches for 95 yards after missing most of the first half when he injured his left shoulder leaping for a pass over his head in the end zone.Prescott was 17 of 24 for a season-low 195 yards and one touchdown, a toe-tapper to Terrance Williams . He had eight carries for 39 yards, including a career-long 18-yarder. Dez Bryant led Dallas with 72 yards on five catches.BACK TO THE PACKUndrafted rookie running back Robert Kelley of the Redskins was held to 37 yards on 14 carries a week after getting a career-high 137 yards with three touchdowns against the Packers. He was averaging more than 100 yards per game the previous three.SUN FIELDThe late-afternoon sun shining through the glass doors on the west side of the stadium was an issue in the opener when Dallas tight end Jason Witten admitted that the glare contributed to a pass he dropped in the New York Giants 20-19 win.Cousins had to battle it during a second-quarter drive that ended in the second of Dustin Hopkins two missed field goals: a 55-yarder.Prescott threw away from the sun to Williams for the touchdown on the subsequent possession, and the glare wasnt a factor after that.UP NEXTRedskins: Washington gets the 10-day break before the second of three straight road games in Arizona on Dec. 4. The trip ends with another crucial NFC East game at Philadelphia on Dec. 11.Cowboys: Itll be a regular seven-day week with a visit to Minnesota next Thursday.

Wholesale Custom Pelicans Shirts .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court. Cheap Custom Pelicans Jersey . Bradwell was scheduled to become a free agent Tuesday. Born and raised in Toronto, Bradwell is entering his sixth CFL season, with all six played for his hometown Argonauts. England will play their 500th Test on home soil this week. Unsurprisingly they are the first nation to reach that milestone. Yet, the fact they do so against Pakistan, a team virtually homeless since 2009, makes for a striking contrast.Pakistan have played 151 Tests in their country but none since the Lahore Test in 2009, which was abandoned after the attack on the Sri Lanka team bus. Their nomadic lifestyle since has been much-storied not least earlier in this series after their stunning victory at Lords.Misbah-ul-Haq rarely gives much away the day before a Test. When asked if he knew his team for Edgbaston he said we are sure, no doubts but refused to elaborate further. Keep them guessing, he said with a grin.Yet when a question came about Englands milestone match at home and the stark difference in Pakistans situation he became very animated, almost impassioned as he spoke about the risks to cricket in his homeland.He fears for the next generation, with children being drawn away from the sport. That, of course, is not only a situation for Pakistan, but a vast number of countries trying to keep the young active. However, Pakistan has the added difficulty of so much international cricket being lost to the country. The players can be watched on television, but creating heroes, as Misbah termed it, is so much more difficult with the continual distance.The interest of the youth is really losing out to other sports. Its one area where you can say we are really unlucky and we want international cricket back in Pakistan, just to help our youngsters and just to help cricket in Pakistan, he said.If you are not watching the heroes and the top stars in the world in the grounds and you are not meeting them… That could be a big attraction for them to play cricket. Without that, its really difficult for the Pakistan Cricket Board and it can really hurt them financially also.From a cricket point of view, there is talk of trying to bring the PSL finals to Pakistan and, as so often, Misbah was asked about the chances of touring sides returning. Sadly, that still feels a long way off for most opposition despite continual hopefful talk of tours resuming and Zimbabwe going for their limited-overs trip last year.ddddddddddddhe knock-on effect of the challenge of engaging younger generations is encouraging them to play the game. This current Pakistan team are doing their best to be a side to inspire, but Misbah is concerned about the games breeding ground.It can really hurt your overall development as a cricketing nation. Your youth can really be inspired if you are playing internationally back at home, Misbah said. Obviously, you can build more infrastructure and people read more about cricket.At school level, club level, the activity has just dropped a little bit because of that. You can see wherever the World Cups are, or international events, the whole scenario changes, its like a fever in that country for that sport. Thats what we have been really missing.We need more sports atmosphere in Pakistan. We must understand that even in our schools, our colleges and our homes, how important sports is for a kid.It was telling, also, that Misbah has been so enthused by the crowds that have watched this series. Even though Old Trafford was not a sellout, and the first two days at Edgbaston are not full, it is still a world away from the empty, rattling stadiums that often greet them in the UAE.Its always good to play in an atmosphere like that, he said. This is why you play cricket or any sport, that people are there to enjoy and cheer. Sometimes that really helps you to perform and show your skills to everyone.As for the previous two Test matches, Ive really enjoyed the atmosphere. Its really good to play Test cricket here. We are not used to that, we normally have such huge crowds in the one-day and T20 games but not Tests. Thats really good to have in Test cricket.One day, hopefully, fans in Pakistan will have a chance to cheer their team at home on a regular basis. Right now, all this side can do is try to inspire from afar by bouncing back from their heavy Old Trafford defeat and reprise the scenes of Lords. ' ' '
