YAS MARINA, Abu Dhabi -- Nico Rosberg said it felt special to beat Lewis Hamilton to the 2016 world drivers championship as his Mercedes teammate and old friend is one of the best in history.Rosberg clinched his maiden crown in a tense finale at Yas Marina as Hamilton backed the German into the chasing Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen. A faultless drive from Rosberg meant he narrowly stayed in front of the pair to secure the championship by five points.Much has been made of Rosberg and Hamiltons history together, with their careers linked back to their days as karting teammates. Having lost the 2014 and 2015 championships to Hamilton, Rosberg said it felt good to finally overcome the three-time world champion for a title of his own.?It feels like Ive been racing him forever, Hamilton said. Hes just managed to edge me out and get the title even when we were small in go-karts. Hes an amazing driver and one of the best in history, so its special to beat him because the level is so high and that makes it so much more satisfying for me. He drove extremely high level, hes done some incredible racing, so hes been a very tough competitor.Rosberg claimed the title in fine style, passing Max Verstappen with a fantastic wheel-to-wheel overtake in the second stint which turned out to be crucial to his race, before staying calm under incredible pressure in the closing stages. Reflecting on his race and championship, Rosberg confessed it was one of the hardestof his career.The feeling is out there. The battle with Max ... unreal. I hope I dont experience that again anytime soon. The same again at the end with the pressure on from behind with Lewis driving slow out, it was a tough one.It was crazy. The thing is it was so intense the race, its still going to take some time to settle in and come out because it was really intense out there and so tough in the end. Those last couple of laps with those two guys, if I drop behind then its over so not enjoyable. Dwight Clark Super Bowl Jersey .

CLEVELAND -- Rookie quarterback Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes and kept any talk for Tony Romo unnecessary, leading the Dallas Cowboys to a 35-10 win on Sunday over the winless Cleveland Browns.Rookie Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 92 yards and scored twice and durable tight end Jason Witten had 134 yards receiving for the Cowboys, off to their best start since 2007.Prescott has won seven straight starts since losing the season opener, and with the Cowboys (7-1) leading the NFC East and getting better, theres no reason for the team to accelerate Romos return from a back injury.Romo returned to practice earlier this week and is looking at a return at some point this season, but with how Prescott is playing, the 36-year-old doesnt look as if hell be back on the field anytime soon.The miserable Browns (0-9) dropped their franchise-record 12th straight game going back to last season and are 3-27 in their past 30. They also started 0-9 in 1975.Cleveland, which also lost 19 of 20 -- also a team record -- got just 28 total yards in the second half.According to STATS, the Browns are the first team since the 1964 Denver Broncos to allow at least 25 points in their first nine games.Prescott threw a 26-yard TD pass to Jason Witten and a 6-yarder to Cole Beasley in the first half to help open a 21-3 lead.And while hes pushing Romo deeper into the background, the fourth-round pick from Mississippi State is also drawing comparisons to another Cowboys rookie QB -- Troy Aikman.Prescott broke two of the Hall of Famers team rookie records in the blowout, surpassing him in TDs and completions. With eight games left, Prescott, who finished 21 of 27 for 247 yards, will surpass all of Aikmans first-year marks and may start to chip away at some others as well.Elliott, too, has Cowboys fans thinking about those glory days when Aikman and Emmitt Smith were together in Dallas backfield. The first-rounnd pick scored on runs of 10 and 8 yards, giving him eight this season.ddddddddddddlliotts 8-yard TD run gave the Cowboys a 28-10 lead in the third quarter, and Prescott put Dallas up by 25 points when he lofted a 2-yard pass to Gavin Escobar.In the first quarter, Prescott connected with a wide-open Witten on a 26-yard TD to give the Cowboys a 7-3 lead and thousands of Dallas fans who invaded FirstEnergy Stadium their first chance to scream.It was Prescotts 10th pass, pushing him past Aikmans rookie record and then he got No. 11 with his short toss to Beasley make it 21-3.ONE TOUGH COWBOYThe 34-year-old Witten, who had eight receptions, made his 155th consecutive start, breaking a team record held by linebacker Lee Roy Jordan.It was Wittens first 100-yard game since 2013 and the 13-year veteran moved past Calvin Johnson (11,619 yards) for 28th place on the career list.KESSLER RETURNSBrowns rookie quarterback Cody Kessler returned after missing one game with a concussion and passed for 203 yards. Kessler threw a 12-year-old TD pass to Terrelle Pryor and also took several hard shots as Dallas defense teed off on him with the big lead in the second half.ERVING VS. IRVINGFive plays into the game, the Browns and Cowboys were brawling.Cleveland starting center Cam Erving and Dallas defensive end David Irving scuffled following a play and both were ejected. Its not clear what prompted the altercation, which included punches being thrown and ended with Erving pulling off Irvings helmet.The loss of Erving caused the latest shakeup on Clevelands offensive line as John Greco moved from right guard to center, Alvin Bailey went from left guard to right and rookie Spencer Drango came in.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
