FRISCO, Texas -- Dak Prescott had no interest in joining fellow rookie Ezekiel Elliott for the Salvation Army kettle jump .The Dallas quarterback is a little more low-key, happy to let his most accurate game as Cowboys quarterback do the talking coming off his worst game as a pro.And now Prescott puts his focus on an NFC East title and the top seed in the conference after once again quieting talk about backup Tony Romo.I think hes shown that he can do what you hope that a quarterback can do, and thats come back from when he didnt play as well as he wanted to play, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said after Sundays 26-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.And I think that ought to show you that hes sure not worried about anything thats being said about him. Hes going to go to work and go to town, and we can quit worrying about that kind of stuff.Not that he was worried, but Elliott wont get fined by the NFL for jumping into one of the red kettles beyond the end zone after a short touchdown run.The leagues leading rusher, who was expecting a fine, said on Twitter that he still planned to give money to the Salvation Army, which had a 61 percent increase in donations in the hours after Elliotts creative celebration.The made-for-TV moment overshadowed Prescotts 32-of-36 showing, and his 11th game without an interception against a defense that a week earlier picked off New Orleans Drew Brees three times.I dont really pay attention to the noise, said Prescott , who had 279 yards passing. I couldnt tell you much that was said all week. Thats the only thing in my mind, to respond to last weeks performance. `He said, she said, doesnt affect me.Elliott also overshadowed a Dallas defense that held Tampa Bay to one first down in five possessions in the fourth quarter, when Dallas rallied with three of Dan Baileys four field goals.The Cowboys kept a two-game cushion over New York in the division a week after the Giants ended their 11-game winning streak.Instead of being just one game up on the team that swept them in the regular season, the Cowboys (12-2) are a win or a New York loss or tie from their second division title in three years and their first No. 1 seed since 2007, when Romo led them to a 13-3 record.Dallas finishes the regular season with a Monday night home game against Detroit and a visit to fading Philadelphia.Then its on to the playoffs for Prescott, who is set to become the first rookie quarterback to start in the postseason for Dallas.Hes someone whos handled every situation hes come across since hes been with us very, very well, coach Jason Garrett said.Hes handled success really well, hes handled adversity. Adversities within games, adversities from week to week. Hes just the same guy.Elliott wasnt really worried about his road roommate after Prescott completed less than 50 percent of his passes and looked generally uncomfortable in a 10-7 loss to the Giants, the only team to beat Dallas this season.While Prescott didnt have a touchdown pass, one of his best throws against the Bucs came on the run when he hit Brice Butler in stride on the sideline at the 2.It set up Prescotts sixth rushing touchdown of the season, breaking Don Merediths 50-year-old franchise record.Thats the type of athlete he is, said Elliott, who has 1,551 yards rushing. Thats the type of competitor he is.Game notes DE Randy Gregory is eligible to practice and play this week after serving a 14-game suspension for violating the NFLs substance-abuse policy. The Cowboys thought Gregory would get to practice starting two weeks ago before the NFL altered that plan and kept him sidelined.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Cheap NBA Jerseys China .

Hollins said Monday on Sports 56 WHBQ-AM in Memphis he thought everything was good after a meeting with team owner Robert Pera and chief executive officer Jason Levien a few days ago, but then heard the Grizzlies had given him permission to talk to other teams. "People need to know from my perspective that I dont want to talk to any other teams," Hollins said. "I want to be here. I told ... the media after our exit interviews that if the team offered me a contract that I felt was fair, Id sign it the next day." The Grizzlies declined to comment. Hollins contract is up June 30. He addressed a variety of topics in a 28-minute interview but spent most of his time publicly defending his case to remain in Memphis. He has been with this franchise since the start as an expansion team in Vancouver in 1995 and made the move to Memphis with his only absence a stint in 2008 and part of 2009 as an assistant with Milwaukee. "I just want everyone to know in Memphis that I want to be here. I want to coach the Memphis Grizzlies, the team that the city has embraced and that has potential to go further with a few tweaks and adjustments," Hollins said. The winningest coach in franchise history, Hollins just led the Grizzlies to their first Western final only too be swept in four games.dddddddddddd That capped a franchise-record 56-26 season, and Hollins has led the Grizzlies to a better record each season since taking over as head coach in January 2009. Hollins defended his ability to work with the teams new management. Pera took over the team in November, and Levien traded away leading scorer Rudy Gay on Jan. 30 in a money-saving move. Hollins said he was consulted about every move. He also discussed an incident during the Grizzlies first-round series with the Clippers when John Hollinger, vice-president of basketball operations, engaged Austin Daye on the court during a practice. Hollins said he was very upset. He said Monday he would have reacted the same way if the person had been President Obama, but that he laughed about the incident with Hollinger after practice. "It wasnt my motive to show management that I run things," Hollins said. "It had nothing to with anything other than that I reacted to somebody jumping on the court." Grizzlies assistant Dave Joerger is a possible replacement for Hollins if Memphis and the coach cant reach an agreement on a new contract. Hollins said that puts Joerger in a tough position in the NBA where loyalty is highly valued. "Why would you move a proven coach, who has shown what he can do to bring in an upcoming superstar?" Hollins said. "To me, thats ludicrous." ' ' '
