ARLINGTON, Texas - Two questions are at the heart of Andrew Lucks first game against the Dallas Cowboys in the Indianapolis quarterbacks visit to his home state. Air Force 1 Nz Online .Will NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray play with the Cowboys needing to win at least one, if not both, of their final two games to end a four-year playoff drought?And what exactly are Luck and the Colts playing for Sunday with their post-season spot secure, but not a great chance to improve their seeding?First things first: Murray, who has 1,687 yards rushing and needs 87 to break NFL rushing leader Emmitt Smiths franchise record of 1,773.The fourth-year running back went through some individual drills in the first day of practice Wednesday after breaking the bone above the ring finger in his left hand in last weeks 38-27 win at Philadelphia.The victory gave Dallas sole possession of first place in the NFC East. He had protective padding on the hand.Really what we want to do is just see how he responded to that work that he did today and then see how he is as the week progresses, and hopefully he can be functional for the ballgame, coach Jason Garrett said. If he cant be, we wont allow him to play, and if he can, well give him a chance.As big as the win against the Eagles was, it wont mean much if the Cowboys (10-4) lose either to the Colts or Washington in the finale and Philadelphia beats the New York Giants and Redskins, also-rans in the division. In that scenario, Dallas is thrown into a wild-card mix with generally unfavourable tiebreakers.We try not to think of it in those terms, Tony Romo said. We just think of it as one game at a time, playing for everything each week. And weve done it two weeks in a row, weve got a third one to go do, and after that one, well start over again.The Colts (10-4) wrapped up the AFC South with last weeks 17-10 win over Houston and need help trying to catch either New England or Denver for a first-round bye in the playoffs. But Indianapolis isnt taking kindly to the word tuneup.Were not taking our foot off the pedal by any means, said Luck, who plays in his hometown of Houston every year. Theres a lot on this game. I know were fired up for it.Things to consider in the first meeting between these teams since 2010, when Romo was out with a broken collarbone but the Cowboys beat Peyton Manning anyway:WHAT ABOUT HILTON? Perhaps the biggest decision for the Colts with their post-season spot secure is whether to play T.Y. Hilton, who is fourth in the NFL with 1,345 yards receiving. Hes nursing a hamstring injury and didnt practice Wednesday. I want to be at 100 per cent giving it my all, but nobodys 100 per cent during this time of year, Hilton said. So if Im 60, 70, Im out there.MURRAYS BLOCKERS: The Cowboys could be without both starters on the right side of their offensive line in tackle Doug Free and rookie guard Zack Martin, who grew up in Indianapolis. Both are battling ankle injuries, and Free also has an issue with his left foot after missing three games earlier this season with a broken right foot.LUCKS MIND GAMES? A story came out this week describing how Luck sometimes compliments opposing players after getting sacked. Dallas defensive end Jeremy Mincey said he experienced it as an AFC South rival in Jacksonville. He kind of got to me by saying, That was excellent, said Mincey, who had two sacks last weekend against the Eagles. Im like, Dude, dont talk to me. Please. But I respect him so much.DEZ ON A ROLL: Dallas receiver Dez Bryant had a career-high three touchdowns against Philadelphia to take over the NFL lead in TDs receiving at 13. He needs 235 yards in the final two games to beat his career high of 1,382 yards receiving in 2012. Hes a nightmare, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. Hes a combination of size, athleticism and speed. But his competitive nature and his drive and his passion for the game and for his team and for winning is second to none.HOME SOUR HOME: The Cowboys are 7-0 on the road and could go 8-0 for the first time in franchise history with a victory at last-place Washington in next weeks regular-season finale. On the flip side, theyre at risk of a losing record at home if they cant beat the Colts. Im just really not sure what the difference is at home and away, centre Travis Frederick said. I would love to know so that we could fix it. But I dont.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Cheap Air Force 1 Nz .Y. - For once, Clayton Kershaw was glad to see a long shutout streak end.

The result was a game-winning, power-play goal. Chiasson snapped a third-period tie and lifted the Dallas Stars to a 3-2 victory on Monday night.MILWAUKEE - Brandon Kintzler was so close to getting out of the eighth inning with the Brewers slim lead intact. Getting that third out against the St. Louis Cardinals, however, was too tough. Matt Carpenter hit an RBI single with two outs in the eighth, putting the Cardinals ahead during a four-run rally Monday night in an 8-5 win over Milwaukee. "We think were in a good position with good pitchers coming in and the next thing you know, they get runs back," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. The Cardinals got seven of their 16 hits in the big inning, capped by pinch-hitter David Freeses two-run double. St. Louis won for the ninth time in 11 games. With two outs in the eighth and the Brewers leading 5-4, rookie Kolten Wong keyed the rally with an infield single, ruled safe on a call that the Brewers disputed. "All of a sudden a guy gets an infield hit and here we go again," Kintzler said. "If the call goes the other way, we arent standing here. It can go either way." Pinch-hitters Daniel Descalso and Matt Adams, Carpenter and Carlos Beltran followed with four consecutive singles. Kintzler (3-1) was removed with the Brewers trailing 6-5. Freese then hit the first pitch from Burke Badenhop for a two-run double that made it 8-5. Kintzler said he thought Wong was out at first. "I was standing right there, and I thought he was out," Kintzler said. "But from his (umpire Marty Fosters) angle — its a short hop — its a tough call from his angle. I have a better angle. If you slow it down on replay, you have to really slow it down. Its a tough play. From his angle, its tough." Carlos Beltran and Jon Jay homered for St. Louis and Yadier Molina had four hits.

Aramis Ramirez snapped a 1-for-18 skid since returning from the disabled list Aug. 13 with a two-run homer off Michael Wacha (2-0) in the seventh to give the Brewers a 5-4 lead. Kintzler gave up four runs and six hits while getting just two outs. Edward Mujica, who was unavailable during the weekend series at the Chicago Cubs because of a tired arm, pitched the ninth for his 32nd save in 34 chances. The Brewers had two runners on in the ninth but Scooter Gennett grounded out to end the game. Norichika Aoki hit his seventh homer for Milwaukee. Milwaukee starter Marco Estrada allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out four in six innings. Jays two-run homer off Estrada in the sixth snapped a 2-2 tie. It was his seventh homer this year and second in two days after hitting a three-run shot in St. Louis 6-1 win over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Estrada said he threw a curveball - a pitch he didnt want to throw - to Jay. "Its not frustrating to give up runs, its going to happen, but its frustrating that I threw pitches I didnt want to throw," he said. "I second-guessed myself and I got beat really bad on the one to Jay. I threw a pitch I didnt want to throw. There was no conviction behind it. I made the pitch and I got hurt." Beltran snapped an 0-for-7 skid with his 21st home run in the first. He had three hits.
