Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Dallas Cowboys stayed perfect on the road and ended a three-game losing streak to the Chicago Bears by getting the ball to DeMarco Murray every chance they could. Murray had 41 touches and gained 228 yards from scrimmage, putting the Cowboys on his back as they shook off a demoralizing division loss on Thanksgiving to beat the Bears 41-28 on Thursday night. Hes a workhorse, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said of Murray. A hell of a football player. Im glad we have him. There was no relief for the Bears, who lost not only the game, but also star wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who was taken away from Soldier Field in an ambulance after suffering an injury to his ribs in the first half, though he tweeted later that he was good. Murray, the NFLs leading rusher, followed last years 146-yard effort against the Bears with 179 yards and a touchdown on 32 carries and added 49 yards on nine catches, hurting the Bears all over the field. I threw him the ball a bunch tonight, too, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo grinned. Romo had three touchdown passes -- two to Cole Beasley -- and earned his eighth career win in Thursday games as he and the Cowboys bounced back from a 33-10 loss to NFC East rival Philadelphia by winning in Chicago for the first time since 2007. Their loss a week ago came at home, of course, giving the Eagles the division lead for at least a week. Its on the road where the Cowboys (9-4) have thrived this season, going 6-0. Matt Forte and Jay Cutler rushed for touchdowns in the fourth quarter, cutting a 25-point Dallas lead to 10. But the Bears (5-8) lost for the second week in a row after falling in Detroit on Thanksgiving. Romo, who had a 109.2 quarterback rating in last seasons 45-28 loss to the Bears, completed 21-of-26 passes for 205 yards and a 138.0 rating to help get Garrett his first career win against Chicago in four meetings. The victory locked up the Cowboys first winning record since 2009 while the Bears are guaranteed back-to-back seasons of a .500 mark or worse for the first time since 2003-04. Id be lying to you if I said that Im OK with it, said Bears linebacker Jon Bostic. (Im) disappointed, but the fact is that heading into this game we still had a quarter of our season left so its not like we can just go out there and start feeling sorry for ourselves and saying, We didnt have the season that we wanted to have so lets just cash it in these next four games. We have a great group here, great group of men -- coaches and players -- weve just got to find a way to come together and execute and try to win some ball games and finish strong. Cutler, who entered the game 2-0 against Dallas with a 138.2 rating and no interceptions, completed 32 of his 46 throws for 341 yards, one pick and touchdown passes to Alshon Jeffery and Martellus Bennett. Forte fumbled on the third play of the second half, leading to Beasleys second touchdown -- a leaping 24-yard grab near the right pylon that made it 21-7. Dallas Dwayne Harris had a 47-yard punt return touchdown nullified by a penalty, but the Cowboys scored anyway after Dez Bryants acrobatic 43-yard catch set up Romos 6-yard pass to Gavin Escobar in the end zone. Joseph Randles 17-yard touchdown run through the left side of the line pushed Dallas lead to 28 points with 2:09 remaining in the third quarter. The Bears got six back when Cutler dropped a 27-yard pass into Jefferys arms in the end zone on the first play of the fourth quarter. Veteran kicker Jay Feely, who was signed Wednesday to fill in while Robbie Gould nurses a quad injury, had his extra-point kick blocked by Barry Church. After Dan Baileys 35-yard field goal for Dallas, Forte scored on a 1-yard run and Chicago recovered an onside kick after it was dropped by Escobar, leading to Cutlers 10-yard score. But another onside kick failed and Bailey added a 27-yarder for the final margin. All I can really say is we didnt play well enough, said Bears safety Ryan Mundy. There was something here, something there, a penalty here, penalty there -- cant have that and we didnt play well enough. Gave up too many big plays, didnt get off the field when we need to and thats really all you can say about that. Dallas linebacker Bruce Carter rushed tipped Pat ODonnells punt in the first quarter, giving the Cowboys the ball near midfield and setting up Murrays touchdown on fourth down inside the 1-yard line early in the second quarter. Marshall had two key catches on the ensuing Bears drive -- a 42-yard reception after tipping the ball to himself with one hand in traffic, and the 15-yard catch on fourth down when he was hurt by a knee in the back from Church. They led to Bennetts 12-yard touchdown, but the Cowboys took a 14-7 lead at the other end when Beasley dragged safety Chris Conte to stretch the ball over the goal line on a 13-yard touchdown catch with eight seconds left.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- When the Los Angeles Kings are on top of their formidable defensive game, they revel in the silence they can create in a frustrated road arena. Although theyre not used to the cheers and chants that filled Honda Center while Jonathan Quick composed his latest shutdown symphony Monday night, they plan to ride that momentum right back up the freeway. Quick made 36 saves, Marian Gaborik scored his third goal in two games, and the Kings beat the Ducks 3-1 to take a 2-0 lead in their second-round series. Alec Martinez also scored for the Kings, who opened their first playoff series against their local rivals with two victories at a road arena packed with their own fans. The Ducks faithful had almost nothing to cheer during a remarkable effort by the NHLs best defensive team. "It doesnt even feel like being on the road," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. "We played really good in this building in the regular season. It was the same for us tonight." Game 3 is Thursday at Staples Center. Dwight King added an empty-net goal for Los Angeles, which has won six straight post-season games and is halfway to its third straight trip to the Western Conference finals. Less than two weeks ago, the Kings were down 0-3 in their first-round series against San Jose. The Kings defence is just that good -- and theyre also scoring just enough goals to beat even the high-powered Ducks. "We could only dream of this, really," said Kings defenceman Drew Doughty, who played more than 26 minutes. "They might say we dont deserve it, but we won two games here, and that was our goal." Los Angeles didnt need any last-minute heroics from Gaborik, who scored in the opening minute instead. Martinez added another first-period goal, and King scored after a bad pass by Cam Fowler with an extra Anaheim attacker. NHL post-season scoring leader Anze Kopitar had another assist for the Kings, who followed up their overtime victory in the opening game of the first post-season Freeway Faceoff with a methodical defensive performance against the high-flying Ducks. Los Angeles managed just nine shots in the final two periods, but Quick comfortably sat on a one-goal lead for more than 46 scoreless minutes until Kings empty-netter. "We found a way to squeak one out tonight because we have the best goalie in the world," captain Dustin Brown said. Patrick Maroon scored a power-play goal and Jonas& Hiller stopped 14 shots for the Ducks, who couldnt crack the Kings NHL-best defence despite controlling play for long stretches.dddddddddddd The Kings played without injured defencemen Robyn Regehr and Willie Mitchell, yet still kept the Ducks offensive stars largely on the perimeter. Hart Trophy finalist Ryan Getzlaf was held to one assist, while Corey Perry still hasnt scored a point in the series. "Im ticked off right now," Getzlaf said. "Were in playoff time now, and there are no excuses for anything. Weve got to be better, Ive got to be better, and I expect my group to respond." The game didnt look like a defensive struggle in the opening minutes when Gaborik continued his post-season scoring spree with his third goal in roughly 13 minutes. The Slovak right wing, acquired from Columbus near the trade deadline, scored the tying goal in Game 1 with 7 seconds left in regulation before getting the overtime winner. Gaboriks line broke out on an odd-man rush on the opening shift of Game 2, and he turned the corner on defenceman Ben Lovejoy to skate in alone on Hiller for a short-side shot. Kopitar, the NHLs playoff scoring leader, set it up with his 10th assist of the post-season, giving him a point in every Kings game. "Its tough for you to have almost a half-breakaway for your first shot," Hiller said. "They were 100 per cent ready at the puck drop. They were just a little sharper, especially early. The first period wasnt our best. We kind of found our game later, but cant expect to come back every night." The Ducks evened it during 4-on-3 play midway through the period, with Maroons pass attempt deflecting off Kings defenceman Jake Muzzins stick. Los Angeles reclaimed the lead less than 2 1/2 minutes later when Martinezs shot from the point deflected off Anaheims Jakob Silfverberg, giving the Kings two goals on their first five shots. NOTES: D Jeff Schultz replaced Regehr in the Kings lineup, playing nearly 20 minutes. Schultz, the longtime Washington defenceman who spent this season in the AHL, is the fourth player to make his Kings debut in a post-season game, joining a club that includes current teammate Tanner Pearson, who did it last season. ... Doughty limped to the dressing room late in the second period after an unpenalized slash by Francois Beauchemin, but returned a few moments later. ... Getzlaf, Fowler and Perry had minus-2 ratings.
