GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jerry Jones has made his share of mistakes, from firing Jimmy Johnson to hiring Greg Hardy to committing countless unforced errors in between. He cannot make another one at Dak Prescott's expense. He cannot do anything during the Dallas Cowboys' upcoming bye week but tell Tony Romothat his time as starting quarterback is done.
At the top, understand that Romo has never been a great quarterback. People throw around that word -- great -- way too easily now. He has been a go

Dak Prescott walked up to the podium, but even the thick glass separating fans from reporters couldn’t mute the roar of cheers.
Can the Dallas Cowboys ignore those cheers?
Another surgical performance from rookie quarterback Dak Prescott prompts that uncomfortable question.

The Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots were revealed as the leaders in Forbes'annual ranking of NFL franchise values for the 2016 season.
Forbes announced the latest set of valuations Wednesday. The numbers show all 32 franchises posted an increase in value from one year ago, led by the Los Angeles Rams, which saw a 100 percent jump following their move from St. Louis. In addition, every team is now worth at least $1.5 billion.
Here's a look at the complete rankings:

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Robert Griffin III's comeback cracked.
Cleveland's quarterback curse strikes again.
Griffin broke a bone in his left shoulder during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 29-10 loss at Philadelphia and will miss at least eight games — and potentially the season — with an injury that leaves the Browns' muddled QB situation as jumbled as ever.
The franchise's 25th starting quarterback since 1999, Griffin, who signed with the Browns as a free agent in March in hopes of reviving a care
GLENDALE, Ariz. — It was after the first New England touchdown drive and Jimmy Garoppolo had looked, well, like Tom Brady. Garoppolo walked to the Patriots sideline, snapped an ammonia capsule in half, and inhaled.
The powerful fumes caused his head to shake back and forth. Then he smiled. He was going to enjoy this moment.
No, Garoppolo wasn't perfect Sunday night, and if you want to give credit to a Patriots defense that weathered the GOATish Larry Fitzgerald blitzkrieg, you wouldn't be wron

Two days after sparking a national conversation in the wake of his decision to sit during the pre-game performance of the national anthem Friday night, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick isn’t changing his tune.
Addressing reporters from his locker at the team’s training facility for nearly 20 minutes Sunday, Kaepernick, who’s sat during The Star Spangled Banner for each of the Niners’ preseason games so far, said: “I’ll continue to sit. … I’m going to continue to stand with the

Rex Ryan’s return to the Meadowlands was a successful one – thanks to his pride and joy, the defense.
Buffalo’s defense shut down Ryan’s former team for much of Thursday night, and the Bills scored on offense and special teams in a 22-17 victory over the New York Jets.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Mark Dantonio couldn’t see much from his vantage point, only that Jalen Watts-Jackson had the ball and was gliding down the sideline, the final seconds on the clock ticking down and the north end zone at Michigan Stadium looking like football nirvana.
“I didn’t know what was happening. I was with all you, some green, some blue,” said Dantonio, shaking his head in amazement. “Everybody’s mouths just dropped open.”
No, the Stanford band wasn’t on the field at the end o

With just three days to prepare for Thursday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin isn’t letting himself think about the long-term implications of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s left knee injury.
Whether Big Ben is back in four weeks, six weeks — or if he needs less or even more time to recover from the sprained medial collateral ligament and bone bruise — doesn’t change the fact that Michael Vick will be running the huddle in the near term.

The numbers never lie, but the Washington Redskins hope they do or else the giddiness that accompanied the team’s win over the mediocre St. Louis Rams, coupled by implosions and injuries to each of the ‘Skins three NFC East rivals, will have lasted four days. But throw out game plans, talent, injuries, a manageable 3.5-point spread, the outlier statistics from Weeks 1 and 2 and all that other garbage to focus on some more valid stats. And those, listed below, do not
