Rookie quarterback Dak Prescott has been so good for the Dallas Cowboys that Tony Romo hasn't get his job back since his recovery from a preseason back injury.
Dallas, with an NFL-best 9-1 win-loss record, is looking for its first 10-game winning streak in the same regular season from its matchup with the Redskins on Thanksgiving Thursday. The run started with Prescott's first career victory at Washington in Week 2.
Prescott led a fourth-quarter comeback in that 27-23 win after fellow rookie sensation Ezekiel Elliott was benched because of two fumbles.
Now Prescott is the leading rookie passer in the NFL, and Elliott is the league's top rusher at 1,102 yards.
Redskins coach Jay Gruden said of Elliott: "He's been bottled up from time to time in the first quarter, but as the game goes on, that offensive line can wear you down and he gets chunks of yardage. And Dak has just been very poised under pressure."
Elliott hasn't had fewer than 92 yards since getting 83 before the benching at Washington.
Kirk Cousins and the Redskins are trying to keep up with the Cowboys in the surprisingly strong NFC East. Their 42-24 win over Green Bay last weekend was their sixth in eight games since starting 0-2.

Topic: Pennies from Heaven
I hope everyone is well. A little story to share from this weekend.
My daughter turns 3 tomorrow and her birthday party was on the weekend. As with most important times, I was really missing Dad. On Sunday, Katelyn found a penny, brought it to my husband, and said "here Daddy, a penny from heaven, Papa's heaven", and walked away. Well that was enough to set off the water works from me (ha ha). I called all the adults that Katelyn is around regularly to find out if anyone has ever said Pennies from Heaven to her, and sure enough, not one of them ever has. Thinking about it, she's JUST 3, and doesn't even know currency, so wouldn't know a penny from a dime.
Glad to know Dad's still around and willing to send a little sign when I need it the most

Six UF players to watch and probable depth chart
Published: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 7:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 8:38 p.m.
Players to watch
1. Adam Lane, tailback: The powerful and explosive Lane became the forgotten tailback last fall when he redshirted and fellow true freshman Kelvin Taylor emerged as the starter (and possible future star) at tailback. Lane will have a chance to get his hands on the ball this spring with so little depth at the position. He's strong, quick, built low to the ground, and could bring another dimension to the position.
2. Demarcus Robinson, wide receiver: The offensive coaches kept expecting Robinson to emerge at some point last season as a true freshman, but it just never happened. Problems off the field led to him being suspended twice, the second time for the final two games of the season. If he can get his school and personal life in order, he has the ability to become a major playmaker in Kurt Roper's offense. Muschamp said earlier this week that Robinson is doing everything the coaches are asking him to do. If he continues to do that, he has a chance. If he doesn't, he may never have that breakout moment everyone keeps waiting for.
3. Chris Thompson, wide receiver: The former Gainesville High star flashed some of his potential in his limited role as a true freshman last season. He has the speed to stretch the field and give the Gators a legitimate deep threat in the passing game. He seems to be in the mold of some of Roper's former receivers who put up some big numbers at Duke.
4. Joey Ivie, defensive lineman: In a limited role, Ivie showed as a true freshman that he can more than hold his own on the defensive line at this level. He's continued to impress his teammates and coaches with what he's done in the weight room and conditioning in the offseason. He's expected to push for a starting role at tackle, but also is versatile enough that the coaches also are going to play him some at end.
5. Jarrad Davis, linebacker: He emerged as one of UF's most consistent defensive playmakers during the latter portion of his true freshman season in 2013. He's shown to be an instinctive and hard-hitting linebacker who can play inside or out and also is a dynamic player on special teams. He'll get some time at middle linebacker and outside linebacker this spring, and has a chance to nail down a starting role at one of those positions.
6. Daniel McMillian, linebacker: At the end of spring practice a year ago, Muschamp said McMillian, a true freshman at the time, was pushing for a starting role. But once the season got here, McMillian disappeared, his chances of playing diminished by injuries. If he can get back to where he was at the end of last spring, and shows a better overall grasp of the defense, he'll push for a starting role.
