FRISCO, Texas -- Dak Prescott is on a rookie roll in Dallas not unlike what Ben Roethlisberger enjoyed in Pittsburgh 12 years ago.Now the Cowboys quarterback gets to put a seven-game winning streak on the line against Big Ben on Sunday in a second straight AFC North road game after throttling winless Cleveland.A week ago, the Cowboys (7-1) were trying to put aside an emotional win over NFC East rival Philadelphia to get ready for the lowly Browns, knowing the Steelers were next. Following a workmanlike 35-10 win, Dallas gets ready for an old Super Bowl rival, and a struggling one. The Steelers (4-4) have lost three straight .You just try to get back to what you do each week, said coach Jason Garrett, who praised the teams response to the 29-23 overtime win over the Eagles.We had a lot of guys in the building this morning lifting and taking care of their treatment. Tomorrow morning theyll come in again and continue to do that. Well get back into our rhythm, well get back into our routine -- what we do each week to clean up the game and get our eyes forward.Roethlisberger won all 13 starts in the regular season in 2004, leading the Steelers to a 15-1 record before losing to New England in the AFC championship game. Prescott now owns a slight twist as the first rookie quarterback in the Super Bowl era to win seven of the first eight games of the season. Roethlisbergers run started in Week 3.We are just having fun, said Prescott, who threw for three touchdowns and has 12 TD passes with two interceptions. I think that is the way we approach every day throughout the week. Come in, have fun but knowing its business first and taking care of our business with the right attitude. Then come out on Sunday and just let loose.Garrett said 10-year starter Tony Romo has been cleared for practice and will do more this week than the limited work from the past two weeks. The 36-year-old broke a bone in his back in a preseason game. Garrett wouldnt be more specific on the plans for Romo.The Steelers figure they can plan for Prescott.I would assume theyre going to ride the hot hand, linebacker Arthur Moats said. You look at him in big games, clutch moments, even the first game they lost to the Giants, he was never not poised. You can see that hes grown. Hes confident.Fellow rookie Ezekiel Elliott had two rushing touchdowns, and the Dallas passing game was as efficient as it has been all season despite just one catch for Dez Bryant, for 19 yards. The 2014 All-Pro receiver missed three of Prescotts wins with a knee injury.Jason Witten, the 14th-year tight end who had his first 100-yard game in three years, had one of the touchdowns . The others were to Cole Beasley and Gavin Escobar, a forgotten tight end whose first catch of the year was his 2-yard score.Were so dynamic its crazy, Bryant said. Whats next from being a dual threat? Anything? Quadruple threat. Turbo quadruple threat. I like that.Prescott showed news signs of leadership as well, grabbing Bryant by the collar on the sideline after a touchdown to try to calm him down as Bryant kept complaining about what he thought was a missed call when he dropped a pass in the end zone while Cleveland cornerback Joe Haden grabbed his arm.I wanted to say some things about the holding penalty, Bryant said. Daks like, `Lets just get it right, were good. You need people like that. I was like, `Oh, all right. Lets go, move on to the next play. And I just think thats cool.Next up for Prescott: an opposing quarterback who went from rookie standout to franchise player, the same path he hopes to take.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler France Soccer Jerseys . -- Teemu Selanne scored the first goal of his 22nd NHL season, and the Anaheim Ducks extended the best start in franchise history with their fifth straight victory, 3-2 over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.

Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes.

France World Cup Jerseys .Y. -- Canadas Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse have another World Cup gold medal after winning the two-women bobsled race on Saturday in Lake Placid, N. CLEVELAND -- Drenched after his players joyfully doused him with champagne and beer, Indians manager Terry Francona stood at the center of the visitors clubhouse in Fenway Park, a ballpark where he had been in the middle of so many similar celebrations.Francona didnt get a hit, steal a base or record an out as Cleveland surprisingly swept Boston in the AL Division Series.He did just about everything else.As he removed his glasses to wipe the sudsy shower from his face, Francona could finally relax -- for a night. His moves pushed the Indians deeper into October.The bubble gum-chomping, drought-busting motivator is Clevelands MVP.Whether masterfully maneuvering his bullpen in Game 1, playing a hunch with his lineup in Game 2, using platoon players or daring to pitch to slugger David Ortiz in Game 3 as Boston fans roared, Francona had the perfect touch as the Indians won three straight and advanced to face Toronto in the AL Championship Series.Francona, affectionately known as Tito -- his dads name -- refused to take credit and turned the attention on his players.Ive done it before, said Francona, who led the Red Sox to World Series titles in 2004 and `07. You know what, what it meant to me is to celebrate with the Indians and our crew. I dont care where it is. I respect that we beat a heck of a team, but to celebrate with our guys, thats what was meaningful for me.The Indians have been defying odds -- and baseball logic -- for months. Despite a slew of injuries to key players, losing two starting pitchers for the postseason, and being given little chance to win the AL Central, they overpowered Detroit and Kansas City before dismissing the Red Sox, who led the majors in scoring but managed just seven runs in the playoffs.The obstacles have only empowered the Indians. Francona made sure they were never knocked off track. He did more than manage games, massaging egos and making everyone believe.Its extraordinary, Indians president Chris Antonetti said. Hes a master at it. He really understands people. He builds relationships. He creates connections. He communicates extraordinarily well. He has the right balance of providing a professional and prepared group, but also having fun. If there is anybody better, Im not sure Ive been around him.His rotation close to shambles, Francona understood the importance of winning the opener against Boston.After Trevvor Bauer, who began the season in the bullpen, got him into the fifth inning, Francona brought in tall left-hander Andrew Miller -- normally used in the seventh and eighth -- and Clevelands relievers closed out the 5-4 win.ddddddddddddDespite Boston lefty David Price being on the mound in Game 2, Francona went against the book and started left-handed hitter Lonnie Chisenall, who batted just .217 against lefties during the regular season. Chisenhall was in more for his defense but hit a three-run homer -- his first off a lefty all year -- in the second inning of Clevelands 6-0 win in Game 2.Sometimes, Francona said afterward, good players make you look smarter than you probably are.He trusted his gut after Game 3 was postponed a day, sticking with Josh Tomlin as his starter. The right-hander, who had nearly a 12.00 ERA in August and was briefly bumped from the rotation, held the Red Sox to one run through five innings. Francona sent him back out in the sixth before again turning to Miller, who gave up a sacrifice fly to Ortiz and then struck out Hanley Ramirez with runner at second.Everything Francona did in the series worked, including a moment that almost backfired before Game 1.As he shook hands with Red Sox manager John Farrell, Francona took a wad of gum from his mouth and tossed it at Dustin Pedroia, one of his favorite players. Pedroia grabbed and swatted it to the ground, much to Franconas relief.Thank God he caught that, Francona said with a laugh. It was going to hit Hanley right in the face, and I dont know Hanley that well.The playful gesture toward Pedroia is typical of Francona, who develops a deep trust inside the clubhouse with how he treats players. Hes firm but fair and he prides himself on keeping his door open. A few weeks ago, Oklahoma City Thunder coach Billy Donovan visited the Indians and when he walked by the managers office, Francona was playing cards with Tomlin.That was the day we took him out of the rotation, Francona said. I was explaining that to Billy. I said, `Two hours earlier we had taken him out of the rotation, and he was back there playing cribbage with me. That to me, shows that we can get through anything.And if Francona keeps playing his cards right, the Indians can go anywhere.
