to visit 40,000-seat Nippert Stadium since then-fifth-ranked West V

FRISCO, Texas -- The questions came at Dak Prescott almost as fast as the numerous Philadelphia pass rushers that made the Dallas quarterback look more like a rookie than any opponent so far.How could he not have heard that owner and general manager Jerry Jones said the Cowboys should ride with Prescotts six-game winning streak, and that Tony Romo was fine with it? What did he mean he stayed off Twitter all day? How busy could he be on the players day off?Does he believe in the hot hand theory?Yeah, sure. I mean its not anything I really think of, Prescott said after silently smiling at the suggestion that his boss was such a believer. You say I had a hot hand but I definitely wasnt hot early in that last game. Ive just got to come in and just worry about getting better.Theres no indication Romo, the 10-year starter, is replacing Prescott anytime soon as he continues his recovery from a broken bone in his back. And certainly not Sunday when the Cowboys (6-1) visit Cleveland (0-8).The public glimpses of Romos daily regimen vary.One day, the 36-year-old is going hard on individual drills in practice, taking snaps, rolling out, throwing with some zip even though he isnt listed as an official participant. The next, he does enough in practice to be listed for the first time since getting hurt in a preseason game at Seattle.And then there was Wednesday. Romo wasnt on the field making throws like he had been a week earlier. He was doing conditioning work on resistance cords with one of the athletic trainers after practice. He had the DNP designation again, just as he did Friday.The way we manage this situation, every situation, is to focus on Wednesday, coach Jason Garrett said. Thats what were trying to do. Thats what Dak is trying to do, thats what everybody on our offense and throughout our team is trying to do. Tony is trying to do that as well.A few weeks after saying Romo was the No. 1 quarterback, Jones finally acknowledged on his radio show Tuesday that a change during a winning streak was risky at best.You want to be very mindful of what youve got going, which right now weve got a lot of chemistry going, Jones said. That has got to really be recognized if youre making a decision.And that leads to the obvious question of how Romo might be taking it.Tony has no issue with doing whats best for the team, absolutely no issue doing whats best for the team, Jones said. When youve got it going, we know these things can be a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everybody involved. We look at it that way.Romo briefly appeared in the locker room Wednesday, but didnt talk to reporters. Hes been a steady presence on the sideline with a headset all season, and Prescott said theres been no change in their interaction as the winning streak has grown.And while Prescott sticks with his mantra that its Tonys team, hes had enough success to earn a qualifier. Even after three quarters against the Eagles that were probably his worst as a pro, Prescott has a 99.6 passer rating with nine touchdowns and two interceptions.The 23-year-old led a 90-yard drive to a tying score in the fourth quarter. He never let Philadelphia and fellow standout rookie Carson Wentz get the ball in overtime, leading a 75-yard march to the 29-23 win .Really, its hard for me to say its Tonys team, its my team or anybodys team, Prescott said. Its a true team and everybody is playing their part in it.Prescott said footwork was his biggest problem against the Eagles, caused in part by heavy pressure from an aggressive defense. He bounced several throws, threw an end-zone interception that ended up putting Dallas behind at halftime, and had another near-pick that probably would have cost the Cowboys the game.But the bottom line isnt changing. And if it were, Prescott wouldnt spend any more time wondering when the Cowboys were going back to their franchise guy.It never goes through my head that Ive got to do this or that this is going to happen, Prescott said. I think they will make that decision regardless of how my play is if they want to make that. I just go in and worry about these teammates.And if he needs updates, he could always start looking at Twitter again.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Swell Wholesale .

CINCINNATI -- Thursday games are not a large part of Tom Hermans experience, but the Houston coach is quickly playing catchup.His undefeated and sixth-ranked Cougars are scheduled to play the first of this seasons four non-Saturday night games this week when they travel to Cincinnati to face the Bearcats in the American Athletic Conference opener for both teams.Its not a bad thing on the back end, said Herman, whose team played one Thursday game last season -- his first in a long time, he said. You like it when you can take a deep breath on Friday and Saturday and let your kids heal and relax a little bit, but to go from our offense playing 97 snaps against Lamar and then turn it around on Sunday and for all intents and purposes have a Tuesday practice in terms of preparing for a game week -- I understand why they do it. The ratings are off the charts when you play these Thursday night games, and were in the entertainment business, but we play four of these. We have three Thursday night games and Friday night game, so in a 12-game schedule, a third of our games are not on a Saturday. That takes its toll on players bodies. Were playing four games in 20 days. You do the match. Thats a lot of pounding on a young mans body in a short amount of time.Houston (2-0) is coming off a 42-0 win over Lamar that was delayed 3 ? hours by lightning and torrential rain that was beneficial from the aspect that quarterback and Heisman Trophy-candidate Greg Ward Jr. was able to use the down time to get extra treatment on his banged-up shoulder. He ended up not playing against Lamar.He was out in pads (Sunday) night and practiced, Herman said on Monday during his weekly media session. Hes still sore, but the soreness is all muscular, so were doing everything we can, from massages to dry needling, to make sure that the muscles that surround the shoulder are ready to go.Cincinnati coach Tommy Tuberville is -- and isnt -- looking forward to seeing Ward.We saw him play quarterback for the first time four years ago, so weve seen him every year, Tuberville said Monday on the AAC weekly coaches teleconference.dddddddddddd. He makes plays. Obviously, were going to have to play much better than we have been playing to contain a quarterback like Greg Ward.The Bearcats are scheduled to play three non-Saturday games, including the last two Fridays of the regular season. They are coming off a 38-20 win at Purdue -- the first for the program at a Big Ten site in 59 years -- in which they build up a 31-7 lead and fought off a Boilermaker comeback that cut the lead to 31-21 halfway through the fourth quarter. Cincinnati (2-0) had five interceptions in the game, three by senior safety Mike Tyson.Houston, the first top 10 team to visit 40,000-seat Nippert Stadium since then-fifth-ranked West Virginia played there on Nov. 17, 2007, holds a 14-10 advantage in the all-time series against Cincinnati, but the Bearcats have won four of the last five games. The Cougars prevailed, 33-30, last season -- a typically close outcome. The last three games between the two teams have been decided by a combined 18 points.As good as they were last year, theyve improved on both sides of the ball, said Herman, for whom the trip will be somewhat of a homecoming, since hes a Cincinnati native who still has family in the area. Their defensive line and their defensive tackles seem to be in a lot better shape. Theyre moving around better. Their two safeties are really good players hat make a ton of tackles for them. They seem to be a little more sound in what theyre doing. Theyre in the right places at the right time on defense.On offense, the quarterback (sophomore Hayden Moore) is playing at an extremely high level. Hes a really good player behind a massive offensive line. Theyre running the ball a little bit better than they have in years past. It will be a challenge. ' ' '
