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. ...

Tom Brady Jersey Throwback . Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek defeated Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (4) on the indoor hard-court at Belgrade Arena. The victory improved the Czech pairs impressive cup doubles record to 14-1. Hawthorn winger Isaac Smith came desperately close to living out every AFL footballers dream at the MCG on Friday night.Instead, he endured a nightmare scenario as his potentially match-winning set shot after the final siren sailed wide to the right, handing Geelong a stunning two-point win and a preliminary final berth.What can you do about it? Hes been a great player for us, coach Alastair Clarkson said of Smiths miss from 40m out on a slight angle.I can remember him kicking a 65m goal in a grand final against Freo and being pretty happy with that one.He misses this one, hes disappointed and were all disappointed.But hes been a ripper for us. So keep your chin up, mate, and lets get into next week.The breathtaking scenes after the siren provided a fitting end to a typically hard-fought, close encounter between the fierce rivals that played out in front of a bumper crowd of 87,533 fans.The Cats led by seven points at the first break and the Hawks by the same margin at halftime before Chris Scotts side edged back in front by two points at three-quarter time.The Hawks looked set to win their seventh match of the season by a margin of 10 pointss or less as they held the Cats at bay in the last quarter until a late surge saw Josh Caddy goal to put his side in front with just over four minutes to play.dddddddddddd.The loss means Hawthorn will need to take the long road to a historic fourth premiership flag in a row, starting with a semi-final against the Western Bulldogs next weekend.Clarkson, however, was philosophical about the loss.If youre going to lose a final, this is the one to lose, he said.All the rest of them dont give you any second chance. We went down this path last year and well have to go down the path again.We had our chances throughout the course of the night and so did the Cats. It comes down to the last kick, so it could quite easily have been us victorious and them licking their wounds.It cuts a bit deep, but weve got to move on pretty quickly.James Sicily should be fit to take on the Dogs after pulling out of the side on Friday night due to illness. Ryan Burton is more doubtful after he missed the second half with a badly corked calf. ' ' '
