SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers should look to the Dallas Cowboys for an example of how to thrive while missing some star players.With Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and two starting offensive lineman sidelined by injuries, the Cowboys still managed to beat San Francisco 24-17 Sunday for their third straight win.Now the Niners (1-3) head into a short week following their third straight loss dealing with injuries to two key defensive players, most notably star linebacker NaVorro Bowman. Bowman was carted off the field with a lower left leg injury that appeared to be serious after he went down without contact in the third quarter.It is tough to see anyone go down, safety Eric Reid said. We will see what happens and the next guy has to step in and that is what we have to do. That next guy has some big shoes to fill.First-round defensive lineman DeForest Buckner also left with an injury and had a walking boot on his left foot after the game, leaving two potential holes in a defense with a Thursday night game upcoming against Arizona.The Cowboys (3-1) did just fine without their key players. Rookie quarterback Dak Prescott threw for 245 yards and two scores and fellow rookie Ezekiel Elliott had his second straight 100-yard game, rushing for 138 yards and a touchdown.Backup receiver Brice Butler caught one TD pass and Terrance Williams caught another as the Cowboys are thriving without some of their best players.There were a number of backups in the lineup on both sides of the ball, coach Jason Garrett said. Guys just stepping up prepared, accountable, come to work every day, do their job.Here are some other takeaways from the Cowboys win over the Niners:STAGNANT OFFENSE: After scoring TDs on their first two drives of the game, the 49ers offense stalled. San Francisco had one field goal the rest of the way as Blaine Gabbert struggled for any consistency. Gabbert missed an open Torrey Smith on a deep ball midway through the fourth quarter, turning a possible go-ahead touchdown into an interception , and then completed only a 3-yard pass on fourth-and-6 to end San Franciscos final drive in Dallas territory.We started fast like we wanted to all week, Gabbert said. Got the run game going. Got some passes in there. Jumped up to 14-0 and just stalled there a little bit.POISED ROOKIE: The early 14-point deficit didnt shake Prescott a bit. He remained calm and led the Cowboys back with another mistake-free performance. He went 23 for 32 and his 131 attempts without an interception are the most ever for a player in his first four games.He isnt going to blink, Butler said. No scenario is too big for him. We expect that from him and he expects that from himself.LONG TIME COMING: After being slowed by injuries for much of his career, Morris Claiborne is finally playing like the first-round pick he was for Dallas in 2012. He had his first interception since 2014 and also made the key tackle on Smith on the fourth-down play .It feels good to get an interception anytime in a game, Claiborne said. Its been a long time since I had one. It feels great to finally get one and to get one in a win.MOMENTUM TURN: Two plays in the second quarter ended up shifting the momentum in Dallas favor. Jaquiski Tartt was called for a personal foul after the Niners appeared to get a third-down stop with a sack of Prescott. Tartt hit Prescott after he was already wrapped up on the play, leading to the penalty. Three plays later, Dallas scored its first TD on Prescotts pass to Williams.Later in the quarter, Bradley Pinion shanked a punt for 26 yards, giving Dallas a short field. The Cowboys capitalized with the TD pass to Butler that tied the game.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLWholesale Air Force Ones .

Nike Air Force 1 Australia . -- Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover.PHOENIX -- The Milwaukee Brewers strung together quality at-bats, got solid pitching and held onto a lead for once. Not a bad way to close out what had been a frustrating series -- or head into the All-Star break. Wily Peralta pitched seven effective innings, Logan Schafer homered and drove in two runs and the Milwaukee Brewers ended a four-game losing streak by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 on Sunday. "I thought it was a really nice ballgame," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "After those last three, we obviously needed to come out with a win. A lot of good things happened." The Brewers spent the first half of the season struggling with injuries and consistency. Against Arizona, they had trouble holding leads in three frustrating games in the desert. Milwaukee prevented the sweep by roughing up Ian Kennedy (3-6) with a string of two-strike hits and a second straight strong outing by Peralta (7-9) The hitting came early: Four runs the first two innings against Kennedy. Carlos Gomez hit a two-run single in the first inning, Schafer drove in another run in the second with a sacrifice bunt and added a solo homer in the fifth. Peralta, coming off his first complete game shutout, effectively worked around base runners all day, and the bullpen held after he left, helping the Brewers end a six-game losing streak to the Diamondbacks. A nice finish to the first half for the Brewers with a much-needed break coming up. "Its great to close out the first half like this and hopefully we can keep it going after the break," Schafer said. "Weve had some guys banged up and these four days should be good for us to get ourselves back healthy." Swept by the Dodgers earlier in the week, Arizona responded with three impressive victories over Milwaukee. With a chance for their first sweep of the Brewers, the Diamondbacks fell flat, unable to bounce back after Kennedys shaky outing left him stuck on 49 career wins for the seventh straight start. Miguel Montero homered for the second straight game, but Arizona went 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position, failing to capitalize after getting the leadoff man on six times. A dud to finish, yes, but the Diamondbacks still head into the break leading the NL West, 2 1-2 games ahead of the Dodgers at 50-45. "We are in first place," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "We had a lot of trial annd tribulations, but the team has hung in there well.dddddddddddd. We have stuck together well." Peralta, who tossed a three-hitter against Cincinnati his last start, worked around base runners through the first four innings with the help of two double plays and a pickoff by catcher Martin Maldonado after Adam Eaton strayed too far off first in the third. The right-hander extended his scoreless streak to 19 1-3 innings until Montero hit his first pitch of the fifth for his eighth homer. Peralta stranded runners at second and third in the sixth inning and worked around another runner in the seventh. He allowed a run and seven hits and struck out eight. "Hes an emotional guy and you see it on the mound," Roenicke said. "You see when hes frustrated, but when he can regroup after being frustrated and make good pitches, thats what I like to see." Kennedys frustrations continued. The right-hander has struggled with his put-away pitches, a big reason hes laboured through the first half of the season. Kennedy again had trouble putting hitters away against the Brewers, allowing four straight singles to open the game -- all after getting ahead 0-2 or 1-2. The fourth one was by Gomez, who lined an 0-2 pitch through the right side for a two-run single and another run came in on a groundout by Maldonado. Schafer drove in a run with a sacrifice bunt in the second inning and, after falling behind 0-2, led off the fifth inning with a homer that put the Brewers up 5-0. Kennedy allowed five runs and nine hits in 6 1-3 innings, the second straight start hes allowed five earned runs. He hasnt won since June 1 against the Cubs. "A lot of crazy things going on," said Kennedy, 0-3 with a 6.58 ERA his past seven starts. "I am not pitching to my abilities every once in a while, not throwing well. Very inconsistent would probably be the word." NOTES: Arizona 2B Aaron Hill ended a 0-for-16 streak with a single in the fourth inning. ...
