A rare Thursday night game that is not part of a short week has Dallas at Chicago. Both teams lost on Thanksgiving Day, and the Bears are headed for a double whammy.Dallas (8-4) is in the midst of a tight NFC East battle with Philadelphia, as well as in the conference wild-card race. Chicago (5-7) is going nowhere.Plus, the Cowboys are 5-0 on the road, while the Bears have a 2-3 mark at Soldier Field, with the victories over weaklings Minnesota and Tampa Bay.Its hard to get to this point in the year and be 8-4 and right in the middle of the hunt, veteran tight end Jason Witten said. I think you play long enough like I have you respect the opportunity that you have and where you are positioned. So I am excited about that.Not so exciting is that Dallas has struggled out of the gate in recent games, and has lost three of five, with the wins over the Jaguars and Giants.Still, Dallas (No. 10, AP Pro32) is a 3 1-2-point favourite over No. 24 Chicago. That should be more than manageable.COWBOYS, 27-20No. 22 Atlanta (plus 11) at No. 1 Green BayPackers on quite a roll at Lambeau.

He also helped the Pittsburgh Pirates avoid another sweep at Coors Field. Harrison had four hits, including a tiebreaking homer, to help the Pirates beat the Colorado Rockies 7-5 on Sunday. Gregory Polanco and Travis Snider also went deep for the Pirates, who avoided being swept in Colorado for the second straight season. Harrison was a big part of avoiding a third straight loss. He homered on the first pitch of the eighth to break a tie, but his work on the basepaths in the sixth was nearly a carbon copy of a play against the New York Mets on June 27. After Sniders two-run homer tied it, Harrison singled. He swiped second but was caught in a rundown when he slid past the bag. He survived to reach third -- giving him two stolen bases on the play -- and scored on a pinch-hit double by Ike Davis to make it 5-4. "As I got off, I was like, Its easy for me to try to make something happen as opposed to trying to reach back to second because he was right there. And something happened," he said. "More and more I got into it, I was able to kind of set up some moves to where I might be able to be safe." The Rockies had him caught but couldnt finish the play when catcher Wilin Rosario tripped and dropped the ball. "Weve got to get an out there," manager Walt Weiss said. "I look at a rundown as a free out. Harrisons one of the tougher guys to put away in a rundown but weve got to get the out there. It was a good play." Harrisons teammates were impressed with his footwork. "Its just athleticism," Davis said. "I dont know how you do it, but hes done it, hes good at it. I wish I had that in the bag." Tony Watson (7-1) gave up a run in two innings of relief to get the win and Mark Melancon worked the ninth for his 19th save. Nolan Arenado and Brandon Barnes homered and Rosario reached base four times for the Rockies, who were going for their first home sweep since taking two from Texas in early May. "If we won today we would have gone 4-2 on the homestand but it is what it is," Arenado said. "We were able to split and we won the series." Arenado tied it 5-5 with a homer in the seventh, his ninth of the yeear and second in as many games before Harrison and Polanco struck in the eighth off reliever Rex Brothers (3-5).dddddddddddd "I was looking for a pitch I knew I could get (the) barrel on," Harrison said. "He threw a pitch that was probably middle, I could either pull or hit the other way. I was able to barrel it to right-centre." Pittsburgh starter Edison Volquez has struggled against Colorado and at Coors Field. He entered Sunday 3-8 with a 7.80 ERA in 13 career starts against the Rockies. The numbers are even worse in Denver where he was 1-5 with a 8.45 ERA in eight career starts. He didnt improve those statistics Sunday. He allowed an RBI single to DJ LeMahieu in the second inning and a two-run homer to Barnes as part of a three-run fourth inning, although only one of the runs was earned. He left after loading the bases with one out in the fifth. Reliever Jared Hughes got Barnes to hit into an inning-ending double play. "Bases loaded there, Im really thinking, Hey, put it in play. The best way to do that is to throw strikes," Hughes said. "Thats what I did. I went out there and got ahead in the count and our defence made a good play." Rockies starter Franklin Morales didnt fare any better. He laboured through four-plus innings, allowing two runs on six hits and walking five. He left after issuing two walks to leadoff the fifth. The Rockies got out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam when Arenado snared Jody Mercers liner and tagged third for a double play and Neil Walker grounded out. "Good play by Nolan. He had some big hits, Barnes had a big hit," Weiss said. "There were some things that made you think we would put that game away."
