ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys are accomplishing things in Dak Prescotts rookie season that never happened under Hall of Fame quarterbacks Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman.Dallas, which got its five Super Bowl championships under Staubach and Aikman, had never won 10 consecutive regular-season games in the same season until now.Only once before in franchise history had the Cowboys started 10-1, in Tony Romos first full season as the starter in 2007. That was also the only other time since 2005, their last Super Bowl season, that they already had 10 wins on Thanksgiving Day.I have tons of confidence in myself, this team, and the coaching staff, Prescott said. I never go in to the game thinking we are going to lose, it is always what do we have to do to win? I feel like that is how this team thinks.The NFL-leading Cowboys (10-1) havent lost since their 20-19 setback to the New York Giants in the opener, when Prescott and rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott made their NFL debuts. Their 31-26 win over Washington on Thanksgiving Day completed a season sweep of the NFC East rival.The momentum is real for us right now. Our football team is a lot of fun, veteran tight end Jason Witten said. Its neat to be a part of this and lead a great group of guys. ...Ten wins is good but they dont hang those banners after 11 weeks. We have to continue to build here going into a critical stretch.Unlike after most Thanksgiving games, the Cowboys dont immediately get a long weekend this time. They play another Thursday game next week at Minnesota, meaning their extended break will instead come before the Nov. 11 rematch against the Giants in New Jersey.After that, the Cowboys will have consecutive home games against Tampa Bay and Detroit before finishing the regular season at Philadelphia.Its cool. We have to keep it moving though. We cant get comfortable, receiver Dez Bryant said about the 10-game winning streak. When you get comfortable youre going to fall apart. Its still a long season. We have to make sure everyones mind is right, including mine. We have to be chasing something.The only time the Cowboys have won more consecutive regular-season games was 11 in a row -- the last five of the 1968 season and the first six games in 1969, a stretch that included Staubachs first NFL start.When including postseason games, the longest winning string in franchise history is 12 in a row. That included the Cowboys first Super Bowl title during the 1971 season, when they won their last seven regular-season games and all three postseason games, before winning the first two games of the 1972 season.Were striving for perfection, veteran cornerback Orlando Scandrick said. Nobody is making the playoffs after 10 wins. We just have to keep our foot on the gas and continue to go in week in and week out and win football games.Game notes Prescott is three short of Ben Roethlisbergers NFL rookie record for consecutive wins by a rookie quarterback in the Super Bowl Era. Roethlisberger won 13 consecutive games as a rookie with Pittsburgh in 2004. ... The Cowboys have the longest winning streak following a season-opening loss since San Franciscos 11 straight wins after losing its 1997 opener. The NFL record is 12 in a row by Minnesota in 1969.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Quinnen Williams Womens Jersey .

Numbers Game looks at the Flyers acquisition of Vincent Lecavalier. The Flyers Get: C Vincent Lecavalier. Lecavalier, 33, was bought out of his contract in Tampa Bay and while that was an understadable (and expensive) decision, given the potential ramifications at the end of the deal, it shouldnt completely overshadow the calibre of play that Lecavalier has provided in recent seasons. Over the last five seasons, Lecavalier has finished with between 0.77 and 0.87 points per game in each season, with his 0.83 points per game ranking 38th among players with at least 250 games played in that span. While Lecavaliers per-game production is strong, there is a reasonable concern that injuries are starting to catch up to him. Hes missed 44 games over the last three seasons and its not just one thing -- it was a lower body injury this year, a broken hand a couple of times, and wrist surgery and a shoulder injury before that over the last five years. While none of those injuries would appear to be chronic, there is some evidence that playing more than 1000 NHL games is starting to catch up with Lecavalier. Lecavalier played 17:53 per game in 2013, his lowest time on ice since 2001-2002. Nevertheless, even if the Flyers expect that Lecavalier will miss time with injuries and he scored at 0.75 points per game for a couple of seasons, 0.65 for another couple and 0.50 points per game for the last year of the deal, that would be a reasonable return. It would be bonus if Lecavaliers production was higher than that or didnt slide, but hes played with high quality offensive linemates in Tampa Bay, so hes not getting a major upgrade in that regard (unless he ends up on Claude Girouxs wing), and its difficult to forecast anything but decline for a player entering his mid-30s.dddddddddddd In Philadelphia, Lecavalier should settle comfortably into the second-line centre role, perhaps with Brayden Schenn shifting to left wing and Wayne Simmonds on right wing, and get significant power play time. Lecavalier, who received a $32.67-million buyout from Tampa Bay, signed for five years and $22.5-million (with a no-movement clause), a reasonable $4.5-million cap hit, especially so when compared to a cap hit that was $7.167-million on his previous contract with the Lightning. He was available prior to the free agent market opening because he was bought out of a contract that had a no-movement clause, giving him the option to not go on waivers before being bought out. With Lecavalier departing, Tampa Bay will have to fill their second-line centre role behind Steven Stamkos. The leading internal andidate could be AHL MVP Tyler Johnson, a 5-foot-9, 22-year-old who had 65 points in 62 AHL games (adding 21 points in 18 playoff games) and chipped in six points in a 14-game NHL audition with the Lightning. So ends Lecavaliers time in Tampa Bay, after 874 points in 1037 regular season games (and 52 points in 63 career playoff games) and a Stanley Cup win in 2004. He has a chance to finish out his career as a productive secondary scorer, for a team that isnt shy about spending every year in an attempt to be a contender.
