ARLINGTON, Texas -- Trying to explain the quick success for Philadelphias Carson
Wentz and Dallas counterpart Dak Prescott often comes back to the complementary
parts behind both rookies.
Asics Pas Cher France .For Wentz, that means
relying on a persistent if not wildly successful running game, and one the NFLs
best defenses. For Prescott, it means the leagues top rushing attack fueled by
fellow rookie Ezekiel Elliott, the NFLs rushing leader with 703 yards, and a
dominant offensive line.If you want to use the term game manager for two
quarterbacks who protected the ball at the start of their careers better than
any first-year players before them, so be it. Their teams are winning, which
makes for quite a story line in a key NFC East game Sunday night.I obviously
dont think its a negative way to describe any quarterback, said first-year
Eagles coach Doug Pederson, a former NFL QB. If youre efficient throwing the
ball, youre not turning the ball over, and youre converting on third downs, then
thats a pretty good way to manage the game.When Wentz and Prescott were trading
the rookie record for pass attempts without an interception to start a career,
this Eagles-Cowboys meeting was a potential target for the return of Tony Romo,
who broke a bone in his back in a preseason game. But Dallas 10-year starter has
been ruled out for the game despite practicing on a limited basis and for the
first time since his fourth back injury in less than four years.So Prescott gets
a chance to extend a five-game winning streak that has the Cowboys (5-1) tied
with Minnesota for the best record in the NFC.Its going to be big because its
the next game, Prescott said. Im not going to really put much into it, the rival
or the division opponent. Its a game that I want to win. Every game that I play,
Ill be the same way and Ill treat it that way.Things to consider as the Eagles
(4-2) go for a fourth straight win at the Cowboys, which would match their
longest in the series going back to when Philadelphia won eight straight overall
from 1987 to 1991:DEZ RETURNS: Dallas receiver Dez Bryant is expected back after
missing three games with a hairline fracture of a bone in his right knee. He
said he was ready to play against Green Bay before the bye, but the medical
staff opted to give him the extra two weeks of recovery time. The 2014 All-Pro
missed seven games last year after breaking his foot in the opener and finished
with career lows in catches, yards and touchdowns. He scored his only touchdown
this season against Chicago when he returned after injuring the knee. Seems like
forever. Now its over, Bryant said.THE AGGRESSOR: Pederson describes himself as
conservative, but his play calling isnt. Pederson has gone on fourth down with
the lead -- the Eagles are 5 for 5 on fourth down. He took a point off the board
last week after a penalty and tried a 2-point conversion -- it was successful .
Wentz is 3 for 3 for 21 yards on fourth downs and he ran 6 yards on fourth-and-2
against Minnesota.I trust our guys and I trust our offensive line and I think it
sends a great message to the rest of the team, to the defense and special teams,
Pederson said.PROTECTING THE ROOKIES: The Eagles can trace their success
directly to protecting Wentz. Hes been sacked four times total in their four
victories and eight times combined in the two losses. Not only have the Dallas
blockers created huge holes for Elliott, theyve allowed the second-fewest sacks
of Prescott with nine. Four of those came in one game, a fourth-quarter comeback
at Washington that was Prescotts first win .SECONDARY SHUFFLE: Eagles Pro Bowl
safety Malcolm Jenkins should get more snaps at cornerback because Ron Brooks
sustained a season-ending knee injury. Jenkins played more than half his snaps
last season in coverage against the slot receiver, so hell help fill Brooks role
as the nickel cornerback. When Jenkins shifts to cornerback, Jaylen Watkins will
take his spot at safety. I just get bored playing deep sometimes, Jenkins
said.MORE QB TIDBITS: Wentz and Prescott are on the verge of breaking the team
rookie records for touchdown passes. Wentz will pass Donovan McNabb (eight in
1999) with his next TD pass. Prescott needs two to tie Troy Aikman (nine in
1989). Wentz and Prescott are also 1-2 among rookies in TD passes and passing
yards. Wentz has the edge in touchdowns (eight to seven), Prescott the nod in
yards (1,486 to 1,324).---AP NFL website:

WACO, Texas -- Baylor fans have grown accustomed to seeing offensive explosions
in recent years, especially since moving into McLane Stadium in 2014.If the
Bears last two home games are any indication, they might have to get used to
watching them come from opponents.Kansas State freshman Alex Barnes rushed for
120 of his 129 yards and all four of his touchdowns in the second half to pace
the Wildcats to 35 points during that span and a 42-21 win Saturday.I just liked
that he did what he always does, and thats run extremely hard, Kansas State
coach Bill Snyder said. He makes a few miss on his way sometimes, not always,
but hes a gifted, powerful-type runner, which we have always known.It was the
first win for the Wildcats (6-4, 4-3 Big 12) in Waco since 2002 and made them
bowl eligible for the seventh straight season. Baylors 6-0 start seems a distant
memory after its fourth consecutive defeat and its second in a row at home after
a 62-22 drubbing from TCU two weeks ago.Barnes had only one carry in the first
half, but it was his show after that, especially in the third quarter. Thats
when scored three of his four touchdowns, and Kansas State held the ball for
11:37 and outgained Baylor 186-38.I knew that we, as a unit would have a big day
on the ground, Barnes said. I didnt realize that it would be me specifically,
but I knew we were going to get it done.Neither team got much done in the first
half, but the Bears (6-4, 4-3) took a 14-7 lead into halftime thanks to cashing
in a muffed punt and fumble that set them up at the Kansas State 25 and 40,
respectively. But Baylor struggled to find offensive consistency all day, and
Donnie Starks pulled in two of Zach Smiths three interceptions in the second
half of his first career start.You always have to finish, Kansas State coach
Bill Snyder said. Sometimes we have, sometimes we havent. You take two ballgames
that have gone down to the wire, that shouldnt have, that go down to the last
snap of the balllgame.
Vente Asics Pas Cher. You have a chance to
win, cant finish it off. So (it was nice) to be able to do that.Jesse Ertz threw
for 177 yards and ran for 46 more, including a 40-yarder on a fourth-down run in
the second quarter that set up Kansas States first score.Smith threw for 258
yards and three touchdowns in his first career start, and Shock Linwood, Baylors
all-time leading rusher, added 110 yards on 24 carries.We just didnt go out
there and execute like we had to, Smith said. Kansas State came out and
executed, and they played great football. We, offense or defense, didnt execute
coming out for the second half. When you dont do that, you lose.THE
TAKEAWAYKansas State: The Wildcats continued their success on the ground,
eclipsing the 200-yard mark for the fourth straight game with 237 on 51
attempts.Baylor: The downward spiral continues for the Bears, who were held
below 30 points for the third straight game. Baylor also failed to score a
rushing touchdown for the first time in 39 games, snapping the longest active
streak among Power Five conference teams.KEY NUMBERSKansas State: It was an
uncharacteristically undisciplined first half with 80 yards in penalties and two
turnovers, both of which resulted in Baylor touchdowns. The Wildcats cleaned the
up in the second half with 5 penalty yards and no turnovers.Baylor: This was the
fourth time Baylor was held scoreless in the first quarter this season. That
happened to the Bears three times in the previous four seasons combined.UP
NEXTKansas State returns home for a rivalry game with Kansas next Saturday. A
Wildcat win would give Bill Snyder 200 for his career, making him the 26th coach
in FBS history to reach that plateau.Baylor has no time to lick the wounds from
its latest loss with a short week looming before a Friday tilt with Texas Tech
at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
