ARLINGTON, Texas -- Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys first-team offence are still looking for their first touchdown this preseason with Bill Callahan calling the plays. Eight-time Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten, coming off a record-setting season, still doesnt even have a catch. "Yeah, dont want to hurt that spleen, you know," Witten joked this week about the injury he sustained last preseason before his 110 catches, an NFL single-season record for tight ends. There really is no reason to be too concerned about Romo and Witten, but it would be nice to get in the end zone Saturday night in what will likely be their most extensive and last game action before things count for real. "Absolutely," Witten said. "Its all right though. You work on it in practice doing that stuff and this is the same system even though its a different play-caller, Im sure that will all work out." Dallas plays the fourth of its five preseason games, the first at home, against Cincinnati. It comes two weeks before the season opener against the New York Giants. The five series Romo has played this preseason have resulted in a field goal, a missed field goal, a punt and lost fumbles at the end of two big plays. The only score came after a drive started inside the Oakland 20 and lost 4 yards before the kick. Last weekend in a 12-7 loss at Arizona, Romo completed 7 of 10 passes for 142 yards but was undone by two fumbles at end of completed passes, one inside the 10 and another by Dez Bryant. Those were the first of five first-half turnovers by the Cowboys, and six overall. "There were a lot of good things in the game, really in all three phases," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. "I think we have grown each of three weeks of the preseason. We made progress in each of those areas and there were a lot of really good individual plays. ... The overwhelming story of the ball game was the six turnovers and one takeaway." It will be a homecoming of sorts for third-year Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton, who played the first game of his TCU senior season at the Cowboys stadium, a victory over Oregon State that started a 13-0 season culminating with a Rose Bowl victory. Dalton is first quarterback to lead the Bengals to the playoffs each of his first two seasons, and most of their offence is mostly intact from a year ago. "There hasnt been a whole lot of new learning gong on so far," Dalton said. "Everybody basically knows what were doing. Thats going to make us better going into the season." The Bengals starting offence last week had 220 yards, including 115 yards passing and a touchdown by Dalton while going 9-of-14 passing, and built a 17-3 lead against Tennessee. Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Green might be even back for a few plays against the Cowboys. Green bruised his left knee during the first training camp workout and returned to practice last week without playing so far in the Bengals two preseason victories. Bengals starting running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis sat out last weekends game just to get a rest, providing an opportunity for 5-foot-9 Giovani Bernard, the second-round pick who had seven carries for 37 yards and a touchdown and turned a short pass into a 22-yard gain against the Titans. Bernard is expected to get a lot of time this season as the backup running back and on passing plays. "Hes not afraid," offensive co-ordinator Jay Gruden said. "He may not run over people like Adrian Peterson, but hell make some people miss. Hes hard to find in there." Brek Shea USA Jersey .

Neymar curled home a free kick from just outside the area to put the 2014 World Cup host ahead in the 44th minute.

With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.

The two-time defending Olympic gold medallist hurt the ankle last Saturday on the halfpipe at the Dew Tour, where he finished second to Greg Bretz. White then pulled out of Sundays slopestyle finals. He had originally planned on competing in both events at Copper Mountain this week, but after practice Tuesday, his publicist said White was skipping the halfpipe event, which starts Wednesday with qualifying. This week marks the second of five selection events for the U.S. Olympic team. Spots are awarded based on riders best two finishes from the fiive events, so White doesnt necessarily have to compete in every contest to make the team.dddddddddddd But an international rule also states that athletes must have at least one top-30 finish since July 2012 in a World Cup event to be eligible for that event at the Olympics. White won a World Cup in halfpipe last year but doesnt have a start in slopesyle, which is making its Olympic debut in Sochi. This weeks event in Copper Mountain is the only U.S. qualifier that also doubles as a World Cup. The only other World Cup slopestyle contest before the Olympics is next month in Quebec -- an event that overlaps with a U.S. qualifier in California. That twist in the schedule makes it important for White to at least get his top-30 finish this week.
