ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dak Prescott showed off his strong arm even when effectively using his feet in yet another victory.While the rookies season-low passing total of 195 yards was less than half of what Washingtons Kirk Cousins had on Thanksgiving Day, the Dallas rookie used a stiff-arm to get extra yards on one play and later tied the single-season franchise record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a 31-26 victory.You see him run by a secondary player and then when he puts that stiff arm on there, you quit worrying about him a little bit, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said about his young quarterback running the ball.The NFL-leading Cowboys (10-1), with their rookie combo of Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott, stretched their team-record winning streak to 10 games. They have their 10th win by Thanksgiving for only the second time since 1995 -- the last of their five Super Bowl championship seasons.Prescotts stiff-arm on Washington safety Donte Whitner for extra yards on an 18-yard run immediately before he threw a touchdown late in the first half.Guys are tired, guys are beat us. But thats no excuse, Whitner said. We didnt make enough plays.The Redskins (6-4-1) were within 17-12 after Cousins threw a 5-yard TD pass to Jordan Reed on the first play of the fourth quarter, and Elliott started the ensuing drive with a 21-yard run.Prescott completed all three passes on that drive, including a short throw to Elliott for a 19-yard gain before rolling to his right and sneaking into the front corner of the end zone. The 6-yard score was Prescotts fifth rushing TD and matched Don Merediths total in 1966.I just let the game come to me. I never go into a game thinking I have to rush for so many yards or have so many carries, said Prescott, who had eight carries for 39 yards. They were matching some routes and doing a good job of that. But they didnt have anyone to contain me or assigned to me. I was just using my feet.After Washington scored again, Prescott scrambled for 7 yards to converted third-and-7 -- and Dallas got an extra 15 yards when Whitner was penalized for unnecessary roughness after his hit on the sliding quarterback. Prescott then almost took off running again before he saw Dez Bryant in 1-on-1 coverage and delivered a strike for a 26-yard gain to the 1.Over and over again at critical times, he came up with big plays, coach Jason Garrett said. He made a lot of plays with his feet out in space. He made plays with his arm. ... He handled different situations really, really well.Here are a few things learned after the latest Redskins-Cowboys holiday matchup:NO LOVE LOSTAfter professing their respect for each other before first their first meeting in Week 2, Bryant and high-priced Washington CB Josh Norman were facemask-to-facemask after Round 2. Tell Washington to get their money back, Bryant yelled at reporters on his way into the locker room. During the game, Bryant was most upset when Norman grabbed his leg after a tackle on a catch in the second half. They had to be separated after the game .SOME NUMBERSWhile Cousins threw for 449 yards and three touchdowns, all of the scores coming in the fourth quarter, the Cowboys are the only NFL team this season that still hasnt allowed a 100-yard rusher. ... Dallas was held to 353 total yards, ending their streak of eight consecutive 400-yard games. That matches the NFL record with the 2007 New England Patriots and 2013 Denver Broncos.TOUGH REEDWhen Redskins TE Jordan Reed fell hard on his shoulder in the first half, it wasnt clear if he would return. I was a little surprised, Cousins said. He cant watch, he wants to play. Reed finished with 10 catches, including seven for two TDs in the fourth quarter.TONYS THANKSGIVINGTony Romo hasnt played a regular-season game for the Cowboys since their Thanksgiving Day game last season, when he broke his collarbone for the second time in a matter of months. He has now been active as Prescotts backup the past two games after a back injury in the preseason.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Connor McGovern Womens Jersey .

According the Toronto Star, a knee injury will keep Sundin out of the lineup, which includes former teammates Gary Roberts, Darcy Tucker, Tie Domi and Curtis Joseph. Deion Sanders Cowboys Jersey . Clarke was injured while practicing on the Doha Golf Club range after the pro-am on Tuesday. The Northern Irishman arrived at the course on Wednesday hoping to start, but after hitting a few balls on the practice putting green Clarke advised officials he was not fit to play. Randy White Jersey . - Chris Tierney snapped a tie with a power-play goal late in the third period as the London Knights rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Erie Otters 5-3 in Ontario Hockey League action on Wednesday.Eddie Jones has had a whirlwind start to his tenure as England coach. Three wins from three games, a self-imposed media ban, and the selection of a captain who missed the World Cup after head-butting a current England team-mate. Its unpredictable and a far cry from the measured Stuart Lancaster, but even if its refreshing, its easy to see why his actions have been met with trepidation by some of the Twickenham faithful.However, those concerns arent shared by fly-half George Ford. The Bath man is enjoying life with live-wire Jones at the helm, with particular appreciation for how frank the Australian is with his players. He fills the lads with great confidence, Ford told Sky Sports. He wants to play the game in an attacking style. He wants to go at teams and a lot of the lads have responded brilliantly to that.Hes very honest with feedback he gives you on what you need to do in a game and what he expects of you, but he also makes the weeks and days of training very enjoyable at the same time. Within rugby youre always going to get on with some people more than you do with others, but to have that relationship and to respect your team-mate and want to go out there and win, and do as well as you can for every single team-mate, is important to me. George Ford I think the honesty has made a huge difference because you understand where you stand, you understand what you need to do, what you need to get better at, and you can go away and work at it.Jones frankness is rooted in his desire to improve his current stock. Soon after arriving in England he swept through the country to watch a host of Premiership matches, and his comments upon assembling his first England squad was that England simply lacked world-class players.The key, Jones said, was helping his players understand their own potential to help them become world class.Thats all a player wants, said Ford. Some honest feedback on their game and what they can do to get better.One aspect on which Jones will be continually judged - largely against his wishes - is Englands style of play. After the Lancaster era of pragmatism, there was hope that Jones would introduce a free-flowing game to Twickenham. Former Wales International Jonathan Thomas joins James Gemmell on Rugby Club Agenda to share his thoughts on how Wales should match up against England The Australian has moved to temper the expectation of the England fans, with reminders of how much time hes had with the team and how important the basics are, and the latter is a sentiment shared by Ford. A lot of people are saying that were playing a lot more expansive and free but were under no illusions that the foundations of our game have got to come first.That, first and foremost, comes from having a strong set-piece and dominance there. I think the boys in the forwards have done great with the lineout and scrum.On top of that, looking after the breakdown as well in terms of attack and trying to get quick ball.From there you can go at teams and hopefully put teams under a bit of pressure and trouble, and score some tries. Ford is enjoying playing alongside Owen Farrell Spearheading the front-foot attack will be Ford and his backline troops, and the 22-year-old is grateful to have a familiar face next to him.During the latter stages of Lancasters time there was plenty of debate around who should start at fly-half between Ford and Owen Farrell. Rather than separating the two, Jones has opted to play bboth, utilising the play-makers in the 10 and 12 positions - and its a combination Ford is enjoying.ddddddddddddWeve only played three full games together; I think theres more to come. Its great to have that similar mind-set as a 10 outside of you on the pitch.We pretty much think about the game similarly, we want to drive the team in a particular way and to have the conversations with him and have someone like him outside you as a 10 is great, so were looking forward to carrying that on. Jones says Wales are a step up from their previous Six Nations opponents. In a recent Real Madrid press conference, footballer Christiano Ronaldo rubbished the idea that players need to be on good terms with each other in order to play well together, but Ford says the understanding he has with Farrell and the rest of his England team-mates is vital to him.It always helps if youre good mates and you have a good relationship with all your team-mates, to be honest.Within rugby youre always going to get on with some people more than you do with others, but to have that relationship and to respect your team-mate and want to go out there and win, and do as well as you can for every single team-mate, is important to me. Danny Care (left) and Ben Youngs are supportive of each others claim for a starting place, says Ford Fords belief is that the player relationships have been strengthened by the honesty of Jones, and that individuals have become more supportive of their jersey rivals in the wake of transparent feedback.One example of the healthy competition for a starting place is the one between Danny Care and Ben Youngs. Both are looking to cement their place in the No 9 jersey, but Ford says their mutual respect for one another benefits the pair.Both are brilliant. Theyre threats themselves; they know when to speed the game up and when to slow it down a little bit.Theyre really good mates as well, they get on really well.Obviously theyre both very ambitious and determined and want to start, but they fully respect when one or the other is starting and back him 100 per cent. Ford, Elliot Daly and Dan Cole apperaed at Oldfield Old Boys RFC as part of the NatWest RugbyForce Throughout the Six Nations, Jones has maintained that he wants to be judged on the teams results in three years time rather that this year, giving himself a window to bring about the changes necessary to turn England into a world-beating team.For Ford and the rest of the England squad there is no reminder needed of how patient they need to be in order to stake their claim as the best in the game, there is an understanding that those changes will take time.As players we take each session to try and become a better player, we dont really focus on anything too far in the future.We just want to focus on the here and now and understand the areas of our games we need to work on.Wherever that takes us in the future, it takes us, but we just want to train as well as we can and look to get better every day.England Rugby Union players George Ford, Elliot Daly and Dan Cole were appearing at Oldfield Old Boys RFC, Bath as a part of the NatWest RugbyForce, an initiative that supports grassroots rugby.
