IRVING, Texas - Before he became the Dallas linebacker caught up in the critical pass interference penalty that wasnt in a wild-card win over Detroit, Anthony Hitchens was a steadily improving rookie playing a much bigger role than the Cowboys anticipated.Nothing about that description has changed in his mind now that millions more people know who he is.Im just a guy who is trying to do his job, Hitchens said. I dont make calls. All I can do is get to the ball and do my job. Thats all I can say.Hitchens sprinted into the spotlight when he was trying to run down Brandon Pettigrew and made contact with the Lions tight end just before Matthew Staffords pass hit Hitchens in the back and he eased up before rolling over Pettigrew as both players fell.One official threw a flag, and referee Pete Morelli announced the penalty before another official overruled the call, saying there wasnt enough contact for interference. A day later, the NFL said there wasnt any interference, but that Hitchens should have been called for holding.People are still talking about it, even with the Cowboys (13-4) well on their way to preparations for Sundays division-round game at Green Bay (12-4).I think I did a pretty good job of closing the distance and at least trying to get my head turned around, Hitchens said. You can always improve. Just focus on more of the negatives than the positives at that time.The Cowboys were criticized for taking Hitchens in the fourth round out of Iowa when he projected as a later-round selection. They took him as insurance for oft-injured Sean Lee, who tore a knee ligament on the first day of off-season workouts less than a month later.Its been a whirlwind since for Hitchens, who has started at all three linebacker spots and is third on the team in tackles with 100. The leader is safety Barry Church, ahead of linebacker Rolando McClain, who was acquired in a trade just before training camp with the Cowboys hoping he could take Lees starting spot.McClain has had trouble staying healthy, and Justin Durant was lost to a torn arm muscle halfway through the season. Hitchens made it through all 16 games, then played through a sprained ankle against the Lions after missing practice all week. He was out again Wednesday.We planned to have him in a role where he wasnt going to have to play that much, coach Jason Garrett said of the wild-card game. Before you know it, Rolando cant play and now hes out there probably playing double the snaps we had planned to have him play.Its been that way since Lees knee gave out in a noncontract drill, and the significance of the injury wasnt lost on Hitchens.That I needed to grow up fast, like right then and there, Hitchens said of what he was thinking at the time. I didnt know if I was going to be in there right then or some other time down the road. I just knew I had to speed up my learning process real soon.Bruce Carter, who missed three games with a thigh injury and had to be replaced by Hitchens, said the rookie succeeded.Normally rookies come in, and they have the rookie wall, and the seasons gone on, Carter said. I dont see him as a rookie, to be quite honest. Hes one of us.The Cowboys liked Hitchens during the draft because of his versatility, but even they didnt think they would be moving him around as much as they have. And they didnt think he would be making the calls on defence, which he has occasionally.I do think he has grown up quickly, Garrett said. Sometimes that happens. When there is an opportunity that is there and there are a lot of people who are trying to fill a void, typically the progression and development happens more quickly and they get thrust into it.NOTES: DE Jeremy Mincey missed practice Wednesday, a day after concussion-like symptoms emerged. McClain is also set be evaluated for a concussion. ... DT Terrell McClain and RT Doug Free missed practice. Both are dealing with ankle injuries.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Kevin Zeitler Jersey .

Bernie Kosar Jersey . LOUIS -- The St.MANCHESTER, England - Arsenal and Tottenham slumped to 2-1 losses in the Premier League as their weaknesses were ruthlessly exposed on Sunday, while Newcastles resurgence continued with a fourth straight win.After squandering a three-goal cushion midweek in the Champions League, Arsenal again failed to hold onto a lead by conceding twice in less than three minutes at Swansea to drop out of the top four.Its difficult to explain how we lost the lead. We were in control, said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, whose team is 12 points behind leader Chelsea and has yet to register a win against a side outside the bottom seven.Chile forward Alexis Sanchez scored for the fourth straight league game to give Arsenal a 63rd-minute lead, only for Gylfi Sigurdsson to equalize with a stunning free kick and Bafetimbi Gomis to grab the winner barely 90 seconds after coming on as a substitute.Spurs suffered another hangover after their Europa League commitments, losing at home to Stoke to fall to 12th in the standings and increase the scrutiny on new manager Mauricio Pochettino.We need to improve quickly because you never have a long time in football, Pochettino said. My challenge in the next few weeks is to change the mentality.That is something Alan Pardew has managed at Newcastle, which was without a win until Oct. 18 but has surged up to eighth in the table.Young Spanish striker Ayoze Perez scored for a third straight game to set Newcastle on its way to a 2-0 win at West Brom. Argentine defender Fabricio Coloccino headed in the second goal.Pardew thanked Newcastle owner Mike Ashley for keeping faith in the dark times, saying: Everyone was pulling at him when we werent winning and he stuck with me and was very supportive, especially after the Southampton game (a 4-0 defeat).You have to have that as a manager. It bought me just enough time.Everton drew 1-1 at Sunderland and is in 10th place, tied on 14 points with Merseyside rival Liverpool and Tottenham, to demonstrate the compettitive nature of this seasons Premier League.ddddddddddddSouthampton, West Ham and Swansea are three of the top five after 11 rounds. Chelsea holds a four-point lead and is unbeaten.Arsenal has been robbed of key French defenders Laurent Koscielny and Mathieu Debuchy in recent weeks and its back four is looking brittle, with Nacho Monreal — a left back playing as centre back — outjumped by Gomis for the winner at Liberty Stadium.Little could be done about Sigurdssons strike, with the Iceland midfielder curling a shot home from 30 metres to maintain his brilliant form since returning to Swansea this season. He has two goals and seven assists, and is the main reason why Swansea is fifth in the league.Sanchez is Arsenals driving force this season and he swept home a cross from Danny Welbeck following a rapid counterattack for a sixth goal in his last four games in all competitions.We have potential, Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker said, but unless we play that serious football, any team will punish us.Arsenal was 3-0 ahead after 58 minutes against Anderlecht in the Champions League on Tuesday, but drew 3-3.Spurs appear to be going backward under Pochettino, whose team is lacking shape, direction, defensive co-ordination and the ability to back up Europa League games on a Thursday with Premier League games on a Sunday.Tottenham has now lost four home games this campaign — all of them coming immediately after the Europa League.Stokes goals came from Bojan Krkic and Jon Walters in the first half. Nacer Chadli reduced the deficit in the 77th minute before Spurs full back Kyle Naughton was shown a straight red card for a bad tackle on Victor Moses.Stoke climbed above Tottenham and into ninth place of the standings.At the Stadium of Light, Leighton Baines penalty for Everton cancelled out an opener by Sebastian Larsson for Sunderland.Everton midfielder Gareth Barry was carried off on a stretcher in the 13th minute and taken to hospital with a leg injury.
