    Personal news: After five seasons reporting on the Cowboys for The Dallas Morning News, I am stepping down and moving to Washington, D.C., for family reasons. Journalism was my childhood dream job. Having lived it for 15 years, I begin the search for a new challenge. Thank you.

    Didn't use this quote on Dec. 3 when Raiders WR Dwayne Harris said it. Will now. He scored a 99-yard punt return for TD tonight because he knew the NFL's rule book. "It helps to know the rules."

    Asked if he is vaccinated, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott: “I don’t necessarily think that’s exactly important. I think that’s HIPAA.”

    Dak Prescott looks like Dak Prescott. Ezekiel Elliott looks like Ezekiel Elliott. Cowboys look dangerous in December.

    Subtle nod to Tupac Shakur during halftime show, Dr. Dre briefly playing “I Ain’t Mad at Cha” on piano. One highlight to an incredible performance.

    Cowboys QB Dak Prescott disparaged fans for throwing bottles, debris at players. Then Prescott was told the fans were aiming for officiating crew. Prescott retracted. “A credit to them then.”

    Cowboys WR Amari Cooper turned down “significantly” more money from Redskins to remain in Dallas with hopes to win Super Bowl here, source said tonight. Dallas is where he wanted to be. He’s coming back on a five-year, $100 million contract.

    A thought for the holidays: If player helps win your fantasy league, consider donating portion of winnings to a cause he supports.

    Cowboys LB Micah Parsons was told the 49ers offense likes to play “bully ball. Parsons: “I’m from Harrisburg where the bullies get bullied. There’s a bully in every gym. …At one point, it’s going to take somebody to stand up and fight. I ain’t ever back down from a challenge.”
