ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Ezekiel Elliott ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns, fellow rookie Dak Prescott threw for a score and ran for another TD, and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Cincinnati Bengals 28-14 on Sunday.

Prescott had his first turnover in five games starting in place of injured Tony Romo, a fumble when being sacked late in the third quarter. But Prescott extended his NFL rookie record to 155 passes without an interception to start his career. He completed 18 of 24 passes for 227 yards.

Elliott, on only 15 carries, became the first Cowboys rookie with three consecutive 100-yard rushing games.

Dallas (4-1) has won four in a row. The Bengals (2-3) already have a losing record a year after being 8-0 midway through the season.

Elliott put the Cowboys ahead to stay with a 13-yard TD run on their opening drive. Then on their first offensive snap of the second half, Elliott busted through the middle and into the open on the way to a 60-yard score, punctuating the play with what might be called a JerryWorld jump, leaping up a few feet to celebrate with fans sitting in field-level suites in the end zone.

Prescott ran 5 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. Then he was scrambling to his right before halftime when he threw on the run to Cole Beasley for a 14-yard score.

It was a homecoming of sorts for Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, who went to TCU and the campus about 20 miles away from AT&T Stadium. The 2011 second-round draft pick was visiting the Cowboys for the first time for a regular-season game since leading the Horned Frogs to an undefeated 2010 season and Rose Bowl victory.

But the Bengals trailed 28-0 before Dalton threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell with about 10 minutes left. That duo hooked up again for a 5-yard score with 2:39 left. Dalton finished 29 of 41 for 269 yards.

Week 5 picks



Prescott is 3-1 as the Cowboys starter, but could be replaced by Tony Romo as earlier as Week 8.



Get ready for talk of a rookie quarterback showdown on Oct. 30 between the sudden stars of the NFC East: Philadelphia's Carson Wentz and the Cowboys' Dak Prescott in Dallas.



There's just a slight problem with the scenario for that prime-time game on Prescott's new home field: It might be Tony Romo's first game of the season coming off a back injury.



The Cowboys sure look like they'll be in good hands until Romo returns - whenever that is - and Chicago might be wondering how long it can survive without Jay Cutler.



Prescott led scoring drives on all four Dallas possessions in the first half before throwing his first career touchdown pass in fellow rookie Ezekiel Elliott's first 100-yard game, and the Cowboys beat the Bears 31-17 on Sunday night to snap an eight-game home losing streak.



"When you see Dak perform at the level that he is performing and you project what his future might be, then you feel good about the future," owner and general manager Jerry Jones said. "The other thing we feel good about is Romo is coming along, I would say, outstandingly."



Wentz and Prescott are NFL record-setters as rookies, with the two highest numbers of passing attempts without an interception to start a career. Wentz, the No. 2 overall pick, is at 102 while leading the Eagles to a 3-0 start and Prescott is at 99.



With his second straight win, Prescott doubled the number of victories the Cowboys (2-1) had in 14 games without the injured Romo over three seasons before the fourth-round pick showed up.



But when Romo's ready, Romo plays. He broke a bone in his back in the preseason, and Dallas' first game against the division-leading Eagles is a likely return date.



"I'm three games into the National Football League. There is a lot that I can learn from," said Prescott, who was 19 of 24 for 248 yards and had a rushing TD for the second straight week. "There's a lot I haven't seen, so I am going to continue to keep my head down and keep working."



Things we learned in the first home victory for the Cowboys since last year's opener, which was a week before the first of two broken left collarbones that kept Romo out of 12 games in a 4-12 season that included a 1-11 record without Romo.
