NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg admits the games governing body mishandled their funding negotiations with clubs after John Grant narrowly avoided the axe.ARL Commission chairman Grant on Tuesday received an 11th hour reprieve after striking up a peace deal with the clubs who were threatening to revolt after the NRL last month abruptly pulled a funding deal from the table.Grants position appeared untenable but they managed to negotiate a resolution. The NRL would not divulge details of the deal because it was dependent upon how much the salary cap rises by in 2018.Greenberg admitted they had got it wrong and had badly sold their message to the clubs who had threatened a civil war.Theres lots of things that could have changed over time but I think we could have handled ourselves better in some parts, Greenberg said.But these are emotional issues for the game and its probably not the first time weve debated the distribution of funding and it wont be the last.As part of the peace deal, the clubs agreed to a five-year funding model which will begin in 2018. Greenberg said it would fund each club at an amount above the salary cap.The NRL will also establish a sinking fund for clubs which run into financial hardship, a proposition clubs had previously baulked at because they didnt believe it was their duty to prop up rivals who run into hardship.It was reported that the clubs were pushing for Grant to stand down within the next 12 months but Greenberg said he had not been given an exit date.Absolutely he will (stay). Johns in a position wheres he got to put the games best interests at heart, Greenberg said.Hes come under some personal criticism but thats okay, thats the way the game works.

PITTSBURGH -- Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott have little interest in the big picture. Yes, the rookies understand the Dallas Cowboys are on a historic roll. Just dont expect them to start thinking about what it all means.I really dont think about whats normal and whats abnormal, Prescott said.Maybe because whats happening in Dallas might be the new normal.Elliott ran for 114 yards and two touchdowns -- both in the final two minutes -- and turned a screen pass into an 83-yard score as the Cowboys pulled off a thrilling 35-30 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night for their eighth straight win.Twice late in the fourth quarter Dallas (8-1) had the ball in Pittsburgh territory with a chance to run out the clock and attempt a game-winning field goal. Twice Elliott found himself running free into the end zone, the last a 32-yard sprint up the middle with 9 seconds left.It parted like the Red Sea, Elliott said after pushing his season rushing total to an NFL-best 1,005 yards. All I had to do was run.Prescott overcame an early fumble to pass for 319 yards and two scores and felt his jaw drop while watching Elliott score the third and final touchdown of a wild final 115 seconds.I was just shaking my head like `Wow, Prescott said. We were just trying to get us in position to get in good field goal range and Zeke said otherwise.When safety Byron Jones pushed Pittsburgh wide receiver Antonio Brown out of bounds at the Dallas 20 on the final play, the Cowboys had perhaps their most impressive victory of an increasingly surprising season. Prescott also took another step toward stopping any discussion about the teams starting quarterback.Veteran Tony Romo practiced during the week and is nearly fully recovered from a broken bone in his back, but he spent his Sunday afternoon the same way he spent every other one this season: in street clothes watching Prescott do his thing.Owner and general manager Jerry Jones declined to name Prescott the permanent starter in the giddy aftermath, though there appears to be no plans -- and really no reason -- to make a switch even though Jones anticipates Romo being the backup next week against Baltimore.I think the longer (Prescott) plays like this, the more we have a chance to have another win, Jones said. Everybody here wants to do one thing and thats win. Theres nobody that would introduce any other issue or any other consideration than doing what it takes to win the game.Asked if hes been around a team where two rookies have done so much so quickly, and the 74-year-old gleefully shook his head.Not two that are so in sync to where ttheyre feeding off each other and the team feeding off them, Jones said.dddddddddddd I havent seen that.DOING IT FOR DADDallas wide receiver Dez Bryant caught six passes for a season-high 116 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown in the third quarter that gave the Cowboys a 23-18 lead. Rather than do his typical touchdown celebration -- making an X with his forearms while barking at the crowd -- Bryant pointed at the sky instead in tribute to his father, MacArthur Hatton.Hatton passed away on Saturday, according to Jones. And while Bryant quietly ducked out of the locker room without speaking to reporters, his teammates figure Bryants play on the field did all the talking necessary.I think the game gives him peace, Prescott said. I told him `Your father is watching. Hes got the best seat in the house. I told him to honor him today and Dez went out and did exactly that and had a great night.AT A LOSSEven another remarkable day by Ben Roethlisberger couldnt prevent the Steelers (4-5) from a fourth straight loss. Roethlisberger passed for 408 yards and three touchdowns, the final one a 15-yard strike to Brown with 42 seconds to go that put the Steelers up by a point. Roethlisberger faked a spike to stop the clock and instead found Brown on a play similar to one by Hall of Famer Dan Marino for Miami against the New York Jets in 1994 .Marinos heady play won the game. Roethlisbergers may have come a little too quickly.I guess we left them too much time, said Roethlisberger, who moved past Hall of Famers Johnny Unitas and Warren Moon and into 10th on the career passing touchdown list with 292.Brown finished with 14 receptions for 154 yards, and LeVeon Bell added 134 total yards and scored two touchdowns.TWO FOR THE SHOW?The Steelers have made a habit of attempting 2-point conversions early in games hoping to dictate the tempo over the last two seasons, often with great success.It stopped abruptly against the Cowboys. Four times Pittsburgh went for 2. And all four times the Steelers came up short, forcing them to chase points.We want to be aggressive, Roethlisberger said. We practice it every day. We need to be better at it.UP NEXTCowboys: Play their third AFC North team in as many weeks when the Ravens visit.Steelers: Head to Cleveland to take on the 0-10 Browns next Sunday.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---This version corrects to show the Steelers were 0 for 4 on 2-point conversions and not 0 for 3.
