games, including a 4-1 win over Cesena in midweek.

ARLINGTON, Texas - LeSean McCoy said beating Dallas with the NFC East lead on the line felt a lot like last year, when Philadelphia wrapped up a playoff berth in the Cowboys $1.2 billion stadium.Theres one big difference for the Eagles, though: They might have to do it again in a rematch on their home field next month to make sure they get back to the post-season.McCoy ran for 159 yards and a touchdown, Mark Sanchez had his first scoring run in almost three years and the Philadelphia defence took advantage of a ragged Tony Romo in a 33-10 victory Thursday.This is only the first half, linebacker Connor Barwin said. We have them again in two weeks and we need to back it up again. The same way we did today, if not even better.The Eagles (9-3) opened with quick drives of 80 and 88 yards for touchdowns. They took sole possession of the division lead with four games remaining, including the Dec. 14 rematch.Were not into statements, Philadelphia coach Chip Kelly said. Weve given ourselves the opportunity to play meaningful football in December, and in this league, every week is a whole different deal, a whole different animal.McCoy, who led the NFL with 1,604 yards rushing last season, had his fourth 100-yard game in the past seven after going without one through the first five weeks. He secured his fourth 1,000-yard season since 2010, and the Eagles improved to 6-0 on Thanksgiving.Although his deficit to Dallas DeMarco Murray in the rushing race is probably insurmountable, McCoy outgained Murray, who was held under 100 yards for just the second time this season.Murray finished with 73 yards and Dallas only touchdown on 20 carries, the last a 6-yard loss when he was dropped by Mychal Kendricks on fourth-and-1 early in the fourth quarter.I dont really compare myself, said McCoy, who had a season-high 25 carries. I just try to be me. I dont really get into that whole, especially during the season, whos this, whos that thing. In the big picture, were trying to win games.Things to consider after Philadelphia won its first Thanksgiving meeting with Dallas since 1989, a 27-0 win for the Eagles in Jerry Jones first season as owner of the Cowboys:RAGGED ROMO: The 34-year-old Romo wasnt around for last years playoffs-or-bust finale because he was two days removed from back surgery. This time he was trying to play in a quick turnaround for the first time — about 90 hours after a dramatic win at the New York Giants — and following yet another back injury.He threw two interceptions and didnt have a touchdown pass for the first time in 39 games as the Cowboys (8-4) dropped their third straight at home.It was definitely short just from the Sunday night coming to here, said Romo, who was 18 of 29 for 199 yards. I dont really think that had much to do with the outcome of the game. I think they just played better than us.SMOOTH SANCHEZ: Making his fourth start since Nick Foles was sidelined by a broken collarbone, Sanchez was 9 of 11 for 99 yards in the first quarter. That included a 27-yard scoring pass to Jordan Matthews when Sanchez hit the rookie in stride on a crossing route for a 14-0 lead.Sanchez finished 20 of 29 for 217 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions two years after he was the starter for the New York Jets and infamously ran into the backside of one of his offensive linemen for a fumble that New England returned for a touchdown in a 49-19 Thanksgiving rout.It is like my favourite holiday, so thats not cool, Sanchez said. It was a bummer. The game plan was to try not to do that. And we accomplished that.This time, Sanchez had his first scoring run since Dec. 24, 2011, with the Jets — a 2-yarder after faking a handoff to McCoy on the zone read. McCoy set up the games first touchdown with a 38-yard run.HOME WOES: The Cowboys are 5-0 on the road, which means all four of their losses have come in Jones spacious, retractable-roof showplace. Im disappointed because this was a great day ... we had a great Thanksgiving Day crowd, the stage was set, Jones said.MACLINS MILESTONE: Eagles receiver Jeremy Maclin secured his first career 1,000-yard season with 108 yards, including a 58-yard catch to set up one of Cody Parkeys three second-quarter field goals. Parkey had four field goals total, the longest from 31 yards.STILL WAITING: Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent was inactive for the second time since the end of a 10-game suspension for his intoxication manslaughter conviction. He hasnt played since Dec. 2, 2012, six days before the drunken-driving crash that killed teammate Jerry Brown.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Wholesale Basketball Shoes Online .

Roma enters the fixture just one point adrift of leaders Juventus after Rudi Garcias men were able to close the gap on Tuesday with a 1-0 win over Udinese that was followed by Juves 1-1 draw against Inter Milan. A win over Lazio on Sunday would briefly take Roma ahead of the three-time defending champions in the table, and defender Davide Astori is relishing an important part of Romas season. Now the fun begins, because we have closed the gap on the top of the table, Astori told Radio Roma. Every point now becomes important, not decisive, but really something to think about. On Sunday we have the first opportunity to go above Juventus. We have the ability to be a great team, we need results such as the ones which could occur on Sunday to boost our confidence. Lazio is nine points back of Roma entering the weekend, but the club finds itself level with Napoli on 30 points in third place, and a win would be huge as the club pushes for a Champions League place. After securing a 3-0 win over Sampdoria to begin 2015, Lazio will now turn its attention to notching a first derby success in league play since November 2012, although the team did beat Roma in the 2013 Coppa Italia final. Lazio has earned 10 of a possible 12 points from its last four matches, so expeect another heated encounter between these two Serie A contenders.dddddddddddd If Roma is able to beat Lazio earlier in the day on Sunday, Juventus will need three points against Napoli to return to the summit, something that wont be easy. Napoli comes into the fixture level with Lazio for the third and final Champions League place, and Rafael Benitezs side has won its last two games, including a 4-1 win over Cesena in midweek. In between those two league wins, Napoli also beat Juventus on penalty kicks in the Supercoppa in a match played in Qatar. With the top four teams squaring off against each other, Genoa and Sampdoria should have a chance to gain some ground this weekend as they continue to chase European places for next season. The two sides are currently level on 27 points, three outside a spot in the top four, and both will be eager to close that gap this weekend. Genoa faces the tougher match of the two on Sunday with a trip to Inter Milan, while Sampdoria hosts bottom-half side Empoli. AC Milan is five points away from a Champions League place and the Rossoneri travels to Torino on Saturday, with the other match that day featuring a mid- table clash between Udinese and Sassuolo. Atalanta hosts Chievo with both sides sitting just above the relegation places, Cagliari meets Cesena in a battle of bottom-three outfits, Palermo invades Fiorentina and second-from-the-bottom Parma hits the road to face Hellas Verona.
