flag thrown at the 45 yard line. will and a little pushy/shovey. >> referee: holding, offense, number 79. that penalty is declined. result of the play, fourth down. >> al: a lot of stuff to work on in chicago. started the game by saying, the what would give them hope? wrigley field? >> cris: the cubs. yeah. think they're going to win it?

jones. royal collects at the 9. and it's taken out of bounds about the 16 yard line, with 1:39 remaining. >> cris: how good were the rookies for the cowboys this evening? plenty good. shots along the way. but prescott able to get down. a rushing touchdown. there's his first-ever passing touchdown. probably a little thank you to mom there, the woman that he gives all the credit to. an inspiration. and ezekiel elliott, back to his hurdling form. put on a bit of a show. if you're looking for what should be for the dallas cowboys

the future. tonight was pretty impressive, on national television, against the embassy. that is caught at the 35 yard line. still a little bit of life here. meredith, making the catch. bears do not have a time-out. first down, up at the 40. he's on the right sideline. incomplete. when you see that the rookies do well and all that stuff, they are so excited. but i can never get the words of bill parcells out of my mind. let's put away the anointing oil for a while. >> cris: yeah. you can rubble a little oil on that no interception thing. >> al: right. >> cris: that deserves a little oil there. that's pretty good. and elliott, tonight, much

the success is going to be the offensive line. you know? even though they were missing a few parts of it, that's always going to be there. >> al: he looks upfield before he looked it into his hands. third and ten. you go back to 1969, last rookie quarterback and running back combo to start a season opener. how did those guys wind up doing? i did a speech one time with roger staubach. it's me and roger staubach. and i'm looking at his resume. the 25th and last thing on there was, i won the heisman trophy. that's a life well-lived. >> al: very. third and ten. and up to the 50 yard line. is it hauled in? it is, by eddie royal. that's enough for a first down.

time. takes him town. to the rookie, howard. clock continues to run. >> cris: the cowboys are going to go on the pile. while the clock ticks. all of the little tricks of the trade, coming into play. >> al: looks like the last 25 seconds to keep the people interested in this one, huh? >> cris: if you're going to hang around for a game, if you're a cowboys fan, this might be the one. >> al: don't even have to be a cowboys fan right now. >> cris: nope.

much work through the years. little doubt in anybody's mind that he will wind up on the steps in canton someday. second and ten. >> cris: got to snap the football. >> referee: infraction, defense number 83. five-yard penalty. second down. >> cris: cody whitehair in there, rookie center. he will learn that trick. aaron rodgers would have been screaming and yellat point because they have made a lot of big plays on getting a defender to jump offsides and get a free play and throw it in the end zone. not worry about what happens. >> al: taken to the 16 yard line

ten seconds. now, seven. >> cris: don't have much of a chance to win the game. but you have to throw a few in the end zone, right? >> al: i know there's some hearts beating fairly furiously right now. like that. >> al: seven seconds left. from the 16 yard line. hoyer, to the end zone. and that's thrown away, with two seconds. >> cris: were those hearts cheering for or against?

now. final play, barring a defensive foul, coming up. elliott with 140 yards on 30 carries. the final play of the game in all likelihood is batted and almost picked off. and that will do it. and the dallas cowboys, took them over a year, to win a home game. but they do it here. >> referee: the game is over. >> al: all right. whatever it was, the game is over. holding on the offense. going to make it official. that's it, 31-17, dallas. volkswagen postgame report,

dak prescott is off to a fantastic start. >> so is carson wentz in philadelphia. we have two young quarterbacks at the top of the division. eli manning and the giants lose to washington. we've seen them play a little bit. give me your read on what's the best you've seen out of the nfc east so far? >> i'll tell you, philadelphia today was impressive. carson wentz, a lot of the same things we're saying about dak prescott. that defense i what they did to pittsburgh today. this is a great offense. a lot of weapons. they totally shut them down. they are playing with a tremendous amount of confidence. right now, you have to like where philadelphia and dallas are sitting. >> and will be sitting next year at the end of next month. october 30th, on a sunday night. eagles and cowboys. the young guys or tony romo back in. it can be something special. we check with you next week.

regarded as, i'm told, a last resort for the patriots. they don't want to have to cut somebody to create a roster spot. but they would prefer to go with julian edelman, even though he hasn't played quarterback since college, because he knows the offense inside and out. you bring in somebody that hasn't been on the team. that person is going to go have to get up to speed. they are comfortable, if they have to, going with julian edelman. but goal number one is to get garoppolo or brissett ready to go. >> mike will start five-straight hours of football talk. nbcsn, 7:00 to 9:00, followed by "the dan patrick show." 31-17, dallas. al and cris back to wrap it up in a moment. dad, you can just drop me off right here. oh no, i'll take you up to the front of the school. that's where your friends are. seriously, it's, it's really fine. you don't want to be seen with your dad? no, it's..no.. this about a boy?

they get the ball. around the corner, 11-yard touchdown. game over. dolphins win 30-24 in over time. we turn to the voice of the browns jim donovan in florida. >> hello from miami. the browns lose the game that they looked like they were going to win in a miraculous fashion of a play. too many of them on this sunday afternoon. once the browns get into over time, miami regathered themselves and handed the browns and excruciatingly painful loss. we've all been through, it i will tell you, this one take the case. on the day when the browns brick in a new kicker cody parkey

left three different times in the game. the last one was a clencher when he missed 46 yards out. that put the game in peril, it put it in over time and put it in a loss column. >> i can't give any words. just look on the bright side, you play a league and you miss some kicks. unfortunately i missed this one. it's over and i have to move on. >> i will say this, coaching staff did a heck of a job getting this team to play. a lot of young players played pretty well. but i have never seen a performance today as he was amazing as a quarterback, as a receiver, as a runner, as a safety at the end of the first half guarding from a hail mary pass. an amazing performance by an amazing athlete.
