Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott celebrated his first career victory last Sunday with his teammates.By the time the 23-year-old woke up the next morning, he was hungry for seconds.Youve got to bounce back and got to prepare quick for the next team, Prescott told reporters at the Cowboys practice facility. Its been all Chicago this week.That could be bad news for the Chicago Bears (0-2) as they prepare for a challenging road game on short rest. They will head south to face the Cowboys (1-1) in a prime-time matchup Sunday night.Already, Prescott is making history as a replacement for injured starter Tony Romo. The 6-foot-2, 226-pound signal-caller from Mississippi State has thrown 75 passes without an interception in his first two NFL games. He broke the record held by Warren Moon, who started his career with 72 passes without an interception.Not bad for a player whom the Cowboys selected in the fourth round of this years draft at No. 135 overall. The Bears bypassed Prescott three times in the fourth round -- selecting linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski, safety Deon Bush and cornerback Deiondre Hall -- before the Cowboys finally called his name.Chicago general manager Ryan Pace might want a do-over heading into Week 3.The Bears are riddled with injuries on both sides of the field, but no position hurts worse than quarterback. Eight-year veteran Brian Hoyer is expected to start against the Cowboys in place of Jay Cutler, who sprained his right thumb Monday and was forced to leave the game early because he could not grip the football.Hoyer, 30, does not deliver nearly the same excitement level as Prescott provides in backing up Romo. However, the journeyman showed his competency Monday as he completed nine of 12 passes for 78 yards after replacing Cutler. He has thrown for 38 touchdowns and 26 interceptions in his career, which also has included stops in New England, Arizona, Cleveland and Houston.Whether youre the starter or the backup or the third guy, you prepare every week like youre the starter, said Hoyer, who is 15-11 in 26 career starts. You may get a few more reps here and there, but thats the fact of being able to play at any time. Just prepare like youre going to play and take it one day at a time and come Sunday, well see what happens.Cutler has plenty of company on the Bears injury report. The defense will play its first game without linebacker Lamarr Houston, who tore his ACL last week and is out for the season. Other key players who could miss the game include nose tackle Eddie Goldman (ankle), linebacker Danny Trevathan (thumb) and running back KaDeem Carey (hamstring).Bears coach John Fox said his team could not afford to dwell on the injuries. The Bears are 2-0 at the Cowboys AT&T Stadium since the facility opened in 2009. Their most recent victory came in 2012.Any time you have front-line players, obviously its an issue, Fox said. They are front-line players for a reason. But if you look around the league, even going into Week 3, there are plenty of significant injuries to some star-caliber type players.Its the next man up. You dont have any choice. Nobody comes and rescues you. Theyre not going to cancel the game. So I dont get much into it.Comparatively speaking, the Cowboys are in better shape. The team is hoping for more from cornerback Orlando Scandrick, who has been plagued by hamstring injuries early in the season. Dallas pass defense overall has struggled as the secondary has given up an average of 276.5 passing yards in its first two games.However, a stellar offensive line has helped the Cowboys control time of possession and let the defense rest. Dallas is first in the NFL with eight drives that have chewed up five minutes or more.Wide receiver Cole Beasley and tight end Jason Witten have combined for 25 catches, which is second-best in the league. The only tandem to make a bigger impact so far this season is New Orleans Saints wide receivers Willie Snead and Brandin Cooks, who have combined for 27 receptions.Behind the offensive line, rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott has had an up-and-down start to the season. He has scored a rushing touchdown in each of his first two games. However, he was benched last week after fumbling twice against the Washington Redskins.Ive never been benched before, Elliott told the Dallas Morning News. Thats new to me. Just got to respond by going to work. Thats all you can do. Wholesale Baseball Jerseys Online . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama.

The Sprint Cup driver took fresh tires with 16 laps to go, passed Ryan Blaney for the lead with six laps left and held off Timothy Peters in a race to the finish that ended with Peters crashing on the frontstretch. "He wrecked a pretty good race truck and I hate it for him," Busch said. "But, we had a pretty good race truck. We got behind with a penalty on pit road, but we just stuck in there and persevered to get back to the front." Busch broke a tie with Darrell Waltrip for the NASCAR track victory record. Busch has four victories at the track in the Truck Series, five in Sprint Cup and five in the Nationwide Series. "Some might say youre not breaking anything until you win 12 Cup races," Busch said. "Ive been fortunate in my career to have a lot of great vehicles here to race. Ive won here with a lot of different vehicles, a lot of different crew chiefs. Id like to be able to win 13 Cup races and break that record, too." The victory was his third in eight Truck starts this season and pushed his career total to 33. Busch also has three victories this year in Sprint Cup and eight in Nationwide. He has 119 victories in NASCARs top three series -- 27 in Cup, and a record 59 in Nationwide. Busch started 10th in the No. 51 Toyota and worked his way up to second early in the race. He was given a penalty for speeding on pit road on lap 85 and fell back to 26th. He was 12th, nearly a lap down with 20 laps to go before the caution came out for a wreck by Jeff Agnew. Busch charged to second on the seccond-to-last restart, and then passed Blaney on the inside for the lead on Lap 194.dddddddddddd. Peters raced to the inside of Busch with two laps to go and the two remained side-by-side to the finish. Busch inched ahead at the line as Peters No. 17 Toyota spun out of control and slammed the inside wall. "I was going for it. It was either wreckers or checkers," Peters said. "Kyle was holding his line a little low, but thats what hes supposed to do. I got into him a little at the end and the truck took off. I hate it that we tore up our truck, but I was going for it." Blaney finished third, but was fuming over an incident with Peters laps earlier. "He ran me up to the fence at the end and I wasnt too happy about that," Blaney said. Peters was unapologetic about the contact. "Thats short-track racing," he said. "He might as well get over it." Johnny Sauter finished fourth in a Toyota, and Chase Elliott was fifth in a Chevrolet. Elliott, the 17-year-old son of former NASCAR champion Bill Elliott, won the pole with a lap of 15.328 seconds (125.183 mph). He led the first 63 laps of the race before Peters passed him for the top spot. After the race, the crews of points leader Matt Crafton and Joey Coulter scuffled in the pits over an on-track skirmish. Crafton finished 10th, one position ahead of Crafton. Ben Kennedy, the great-grandson of NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., was 20th, one lap down, in his series debut. Earlier, Mike Stefanik won the NASCAR Whelen Modified Series race. The seven-time series champion passed Todd Szegedy with 10 laps remaining for his series-record 74th career win. Sprint Cup Series driver Ryan Newman finished fifth. ' ' '
