Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering into Thursday night's activity, the The big apple Giants and also Dallas Cowboys shared last spot in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half goals as well as limited the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the half. It was a defensive struggle the remainder of the way, as neither crew scored a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its 2nd succeed of the season with a last credit rating of 20-15, yet star side rush Micah Parsons was actually brought off the area behind time in the activity with a nigh side ankle/foot injury. He stated later that X-rays were adverse and he will obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie receiver Malik Nabers likewise left the video game in the fourth quarter after suffering a concussion.Here are the absolute most important points to know from Thursday evening for both staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did not speak with the media before Thursday's game versus the Giants. He said he would talk "article win." The Cowboys obtained the win, yet it wasn't a creative appeal. Having said that, after Dallas was shamed in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually getting a succeed on a brief week.Being 2-2 is actually a lot far better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys dropped, it would have denoted the first time they dropped 3 September games since 2001, and they will have resided in final spot in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, particularly in the first one-half with touchdown passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 backyards) and also Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The self defense ultimately quit the run and also stabilized in the red zone, keeping the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has actually currently gained thirteen directly versus the Giants. His final reduction came in 2016 as a rookie. He linked the second-longest win touch through a quarterback versus a single opponent considering that quarterback statistics were actually 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Expenses 13 straight opportunities coming from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Young beat the Rams thirteen directly coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely obtain an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Lamb possesses some side project problems, the most effective seems to be ahead out of him. Throughout last year's loss at San Francisco, Lamb always kept to himself on the subsidiary and after that adhered to with 6 games with at the very least 11 catches and 7 games along with greater than one hundred backyards. In recently's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb had an altercation with Prescott and also performed certainly not speak with the media after the game. On Tuesday, Sheep was actually regretful and said he will be much better. In the first fifty percent alone, he had six catches for 94 yards (both period highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 ready the Cowboys. He has 3 basket of 60 lawns in his profession, consisting of a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth versus the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file kept through Brett Maher, who produced four with the Cowboys over two various assignments. Aubrey made a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 gardens this season. The remainder of the game is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will have 10 days to prepare for the currently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time is going to aid because there is actually still a lot that requires to be remedied, despite the win. Previously three activities, opposing quarterbacks have skipped on simply 19 passes. Against the Saints and also Ravens, that was logical since each staffs were thus dominant on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed a lot of time to toss for much of the video game after recently being actually tormented due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend eight video games prior to Thursday. Oh, as well as they were imposed penalty on nine times in the initial fifty percent alone.-- Todd ArcherNext game: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants maintained it close against the Cowboys, however they still failed to come away with a succeed. After final season, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two appointments with the Cowboys, this must be deemed progress, right?Sure, there are no ethical success in the NFL, but this was actually the third organized action in the correct direction for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The gap, at least to some extent, has limited between the division competitors. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually won 14 of the past 15 competitions, and also Prescott has actually trumped all of them 13 direct times. The big apple still isn't quite there certainly as yet, yet this confirmed it goes to minimum improving.QB break down: Jones was efficient, completing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% finalization) for 281 yards along with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the last few seconds. However the Giants were stayed out of completion area, and Jones needed on the majority of his centered tosses. It's specifically remarkable considering this was actually a trouble early in training camp. There was actually a lot of suitable for Jones, but it was actually not quite enough. Jones is actually clearly playing far better considering that the opener. Possessing novice pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 backyards) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving the activity in the 4th quarter with a concussion, Nabers always kept adding to his reports. He came to be the initial gamer in NFL history along with at the very least 25 receptions and three goals in his first four job activities when he got a 3-yard successfully pass early in the 2nd one-fourth. He right now has 35 functions for 386 gardens as well as 3 touchdowns in four games.Troubling fad: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the closest defender on 4 touchdown passes currently this time, depending on to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Financial institutions was trumped again on Thursday night, this time around through Sheep for a 55-yard credit rating in the second fourth. The Giants were actually hoping Financial institutions will step into the CB1 part this time. As an alternative, it has actually been a problem thus far.Biggest gap in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't able to obtain just about anything going in the running video game against the game's worst run defense. Dallas entered the contest enabling 185.7 gardens on the ground per game. The Giants came into the video game believing they will have results however possessed only 29 lawns entering the 1st one-half-- and they finished with 26 yards on 24 holds.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
