The Cowboys and Dak Prescott got the 2 wins they needed. But they know it's all about the Eagles nowFRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dak Prescott just had his best game of the season in a second consecutive win for the Dallas Cowboys since they were blown out by San Francisco. The star quarterback knows as well as anybody that both victories, including 43-20 over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, won't do much to change the perception from the 42-10 loss to the Niners. Prescott also knows a victory this Sunday would change things. Dallas (5-2) visits NFC East rival and division-leading Philadelphia (7-1), t

Bam Adebayo sitting out Heat's game against the Bucks due to hip bruiseMILWAUKEE (AP) — Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo won’t play in Monday night’s game at Milwaukee after bruising his hip two nights earlier. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said at his pregame media session that Adebayo wouldn’t be available. The two-time All-Star had been listed as questionable on the injury report. Spoelstra said Adebayo got hurt during the Heat’s 106-90 loss at Minnesota on Saturday. “He took that hard spill, and then when we got into town yesterday, it was pretty sore,” Spoelstra said

The Steelers want to be good enough so that questionable calls don't affect them. They're notPITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Tomlin understands and likely shares (on some unspoken level anyway) wide receiver Diontae Johnson's problems with the officiating during Pittsburgh's unwieldy 20-10 loss to Jacksonville on Sunday. Yet the longtime Steelers coach isn't about to blame another three-plus hours of erratic play on the officials. The way Tomlin figures it, there's one sure way to make them irrelevant: play better. “It is our desire to win definitively where potentially controversial calls are l

The Jets are still struggling to convert third downs and put up pointsOne opportunity after another on third down came and went without any success for the New York Jets. They were 0 for 12 until quarterback Zach Wilson scrambled for 17 yards on third-and-11 with 2:19 left in regulation of the Jets' ugly 13-10 overtime win over the Giants on Sunday. That first conversion was met with cheers — many likely from exasperated fans who watched their team go 2 for 15 overall. It has been that way all season for the Jets, who are 4-3 despite ranking last in the NFL in thi

Rams' Matthew Stafford has sprained thumb ligament. Stetson Bennett is unlikely to play this seasonLOS ANGELES (AP) — Matthew Stafford has a sprained ligament in his right thumb, possibly sidelining the Rams' starting quarterback for Los Angeles' visit to Green Bay on Sunday. Although coach Sean McVay didn't rule out his Super Bowl-winning quarterback Monday, he said the Rams (3-5) are looking for another quarterback to pair with backup Brett Rypien in practice this week in case Stafford's sprained UCL prevents him from playing against the Packers. “We definitely have to get some contingency

Interceptions helped Ravens shake off uneven start against Arizona and extend AFC North leadOWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — After an unusually sluggish start, the Baltimore Ravens forced a couple turnovers that helped jump-start their offense. Once again, Geno Stone was part of a big play on defense. Stone's NFL-leading fifth interception gave Baltimore a short field in the second half, and the Ravens went on to a 31-24 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Brandon Stephens also contributed an interception as Baltimore again took advantage of shaky quarterback play by the opposition.

The Vikings started 0-3. Now they're 4-4 and really in crisis without Kirk CousinsEAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have already endured the frustration of opening the season by losing three straight one-score games, an 0-3 start that has preceded an appearance in the playoffs only six times in the history of the NFL. Fittingly for this star-crossed franchise, the real crisis waited to arrive until after a three-game winning streak brought their record back to even and thrust them back into the race. The Vikings (4-4) need a new quarterback, with Kirk Cousins done for

Struggling Giants trade defensive lineman Leonard Williams to first-place SeahawksEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The struggling New York Giants have traded defensive end Leonard Williams to the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks for a pair of draft picks. The Giants (2-6) said Monday they will receive a second-round draft choice in 2024 and a fifth-rounder in 2025 for Williams, who had a $32 million salary cap hit this season, the highest on the team. Seattle (5-2) has two third-round picks next year, which will help soften the blow of giving up a second-rounder. The deal came a

Vikings confirm Cousins is done for the season with a torn Achilles tendon in a devastating blowEAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Kirk Cousins has a torn right Achilles tendon that will end his season, the Minnesota Vikings announced on Monday after his first career injury put a somber tone on their three-game winning streak. The Vikings announced that the MRI exam on Cousins confirmed their initial fear of a tear after the 12th-year quarterback went down in pain in the fourth quarter at Green Bay on Sunday after planting his foot in the grass to try to avoid a sack. He quickly limped off the field, una

Steelers' Johnson rips refs for no-call on hit that injured QB Pickett: 'They should get fined'PITTSBURGH (AP) — Steelers wide reciever Diontae Johnson called for the referees to be fined following Pittsburgh's 20-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, a defeat in which quarterback Kenny Pickett left with a rib injury following a big hit. “They were calling some stupid stuff,” Johnson said. “They should get fined for making terrible calls. That’s how (mad) I am because they cost us the game. I don’t care what nobody says, they cost us the game. “(The referees) must’ve got paid goo
