FRISCO, Texas -- Dak Prescott converted a long third down on the go-ahead drive in his first NFL win by changing the protection and the route at the line of scrimmage.Later, the rookie Dallas quarterback wisely slid to take a sack on a bootleg that didnt work when the most important thing for the Cowboys was forcing Washington to use its last timeout in the final two minutes.The former Mississippi State standout keeps telling people he felt ready for the NFL from the beginning. And he keeps showing it after injuries to Tony Romo and Kellen Moore suddenly made him the starter.This isnt a dream where Im like wowed every day, Prescott said with the same demeanor he had as a third-teamer during offseason workouts. I feel like this is where I belong, so Ive got to continue to get better.Prescott has an NFL-record 75 pass attempts without an interception to start a career, although hes still looking for his first touchdown pass.Hell shoot for a number much more important to him when the Cowboys host Chicago on Sunday night.With a win, the 23-year-old will have double the number of victories the Cowboys had without Romo in 14 games over the three seasons before the fourth-round pick showed up.Prescott inherited starting jobs in high school and college because of injuries and didnt surrender it either time.At Mississippi State, he finished as the schools passing leader while joining Tim Tebow as the only SEC quarterbacks with at least 70 touchdowns passing and at least another 40 rushing.A day after getting his first win 27-23 over the Redskins, naturally Prescott was asked what he thought if the wins kept coming while Romo recovers from his fourth back injury in less than four years. He was quick to call it Romos team, another thing he has said all along.I think Dak said it best, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said on his radio show this week.Tony would be the first to tell you its everybodys team. But still, its Tonys team. Tony has the experience and he has the ability to make us a better team. And thats the only way you look at it right now.Prescott became the backup when Moore broke his right ankle in training camp. And he became the starter when Romo broke a bone in his back in the third preseason game at Seattle.Along the way, Prescott led the NFL in passer rating in the preseason, helping the Cowboys change their mind about adding a new backup to Romo. Eventually, Dallas signed Mark Sanchez as the No. 2 behind Prescott, who had a rushing TD against Washington.After receiver Dez Bryant had just one catch in an opening loss to the New York Giants, Prescott found the 2014 All-Pro seven times for 102 yards against the Redskins. The critical third-and-11 conversion against Washington was to Cole Beasley, who has a team-high 13 catches through two weeks.I didnt really see him much until we got into camp just because wed go with the 1s, Beasley said. He was a very poised and confident guy in the huddle. And thats what you like to see. Its like he wasnt even a rookie.Before beating Washington, the Cowboys were 1-14 without Romo -- including the opener with Prescott -- going back to the season finale in 2013.If Prescott beats the injury-riddled Bears, hell have one more victory than veterans Brandon Weeden, Matt Cassel and Moore managed in 12 starts last season.And the Cowboys will have a winning record while being a week closer to Romos return with a young quarterback whos looking like the future beyond the 36-year-old and 10-year starter.Weve had success, hes handled that well, coach Jason Garrett said of Prescott. Weve had some adversity, hes handled that well. Weve been ahead, hes handled that well. Weve been behind, hes handled that well.So I think you put all of those things together, and you feel good about where he is in all aspects of his game.Game notesCB Orlando Scandrick was held out of practice and said hes dealing with soreness in both hamstrings. ... DE Charles Tapper (back) still isnt practicing, making it likely hell miss the third straight game at the start of his career.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuylerAir Max 97 Herren Günstig .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

Nike Air Max 270 Damen Günstig . -- Jaye Marie Green shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to increase her lead to five strokes after the second round of the LPGA Tours qualifying tournament.RIO DE JANEIRO -- Written in Portuguese on one wall above center court at Carioca Arena is the phrase Um mundo novo. Translation: A new world.It didnt seem that way in mens Olympic basketball -- until now.Threatened by Australia in its previous game, the U.S. mens team survived a heart-racing final seconds to defeat disciplined and experienced Serbia 94-91 on Friday night and extend its winning streak in international tournaments to 49 games.No. 50 is no given, and suddenly, a gold medal that seemed a formality just a few days ago is anything but certain.The Americans, boasting a roster stuffed with NBA All-Stars, elite outside shooters but only two former Olympians, look very vulnerable and somewhat lost on the worlds hardwood stage.We do have more talent, said U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski, who has been warning about overconfidence since his teams arrival in Brazil. We have to get our talent playing even much better as a team.Despite a ferocious start, the Americans couldnt put away the underdog Serbs, who ran their cut-and-cut-again offense with precision and had a chance to tie it in the final seconds. But guard Bogdan Bogdanovics 3-pointer from the left wing was a little long and Kevin Durant secured the rebound and the relieved Americans walked off the floor with their streak intact but their standing shaken.Kyrie Irving scored 15 points and Durant and Carmelo Anthony added 12 apiece for the U.S. team, which arrived in South American lauded as the latest version of an American super squad. However, after their 10-point win over the Aussies earlier this week and now a nail-biter against the Serbs, the rest of the field might be starting to believe the U.S. can be taken.We got in our own heads, Durant said. We had a great start, great start. We were up almost 20 points. We should have held the lead and we just got sidetracked by stupid stuff, from the calls to the physicality, the extra plays. We got to stay with it. Thats the way its going to be out here.Nikola Jokic, who plays for the Denver Nuggets, scored 25 and Milos Teodosic and Miroslav Raduljica 18 each for the Serbs, who fell to 1/3 but left the building feeling confident after making the Americans sweat.Paul George said Serbias systematic offense was unlike anything he and his teammates have faced.Once again, we relied on natural talent, George said. This is why theese guys are special in our league.dddddddddddd These international guys really know how to move and really know how to cut. Its more about how theyre running their offense. Its wearing us down.Its like they dont get tired.It was the first Olympic game between the nations, and a rematch of the 2014 Basketball World Cup championship won by the U.S. 129-92. However, this never resembled that track meet as the Serbs slowed the tempo and forced the Americans into turnovers and rushed possessions. The worlds best team certainly didnt look or play like it for long stretches.The U.S., which will wrap up preliminary-round play against France on Sunday, led 94-87 with 2:11 left on a basket by Anthony. But the Serbs got a basket by Jokic and two free throws Teodosic to get within three.Durant, who only attempted four shots, misfired with eight seconds left giving Serbia one last chance. After a timeout, the ball wound up with Bogdanovic, who had a great look from 22 feet but was just off the mark.We are that kind of a team that we never give up and we showed this today, said Teodosic, one of Europes craftiest guards for the past decade. This is third game in a row that we have a very bad beginning, and especially (against) the teams like the United States, its very tough to get back in the game when you are losing by 10 or 15 in the beginning.The 10-point win over Australia -- just the fifth time the U.S. has won by 10 or fewer since 2006 -- raised the possibility that this American team might not be as golden as previous ones.Krzyzewski, though, insists there is more global balance in hoops.We dont give enough credit to the talent level on the other team, he said. Australia is talented. Serbia is talented. They are one of the top teams in the world, but theyve played together for a long time. We played them two years ago and had a great game and everything went well for us. All of those guys are back and Im sure they wanted to make up for that, too.Our guys are playing as a team, and I think we just havent had that experience of playing that long together and hopefully these games will help us and the game against France will also.The Americans had better learn or theyll be going home with a less shiny medal.
