Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday night's video game, the New york city Giants and also Dallas Cowboys discussed last location in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philly Eagles.The Cowboys racked up two first-half goals and confined the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was actually a defensive fight the rest of the way, as neither crew racked up a goal in the second half.Dallas got its own second win of the season with a last rating of 20-15, however star edge rush Micah Parsons was carted off the area late in the video game along with a nigh side ankle/foot personal injury. He claimed later that X-rays were actually negative and he is going to receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie receiver Malik Nabers additionally left the video game in the fourth one-fourth after going through a concussion.Here are one of the most vital things to recognize coming from Thursday night for both crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out not talk to the media just before Thursday's activity versus the Giants. He stated he would communicate "blog post gain." The Cowboys received the succeed, yet it had not been an artistic elegance. Nevertheless, after Dallas was humiliated in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only trait that mattered was receiving a succeed on a quick week.Being 2-2 is a great deal far better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys dropped, it would certainly possess noted the first time they shed 3 September games because 2001, and they would certainly possess been in final spot in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, specifically in the initial half along with touchdown passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 gardens) and also Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The protection ultimately stopped the operate and also stiffened at a loss region, holding the Giants to 5 field goals.Prescott has actually now won thirteen right against the Giants. His last loss was available in 2016 as a rookie. He connected the second-longest win streak by a quarterback versus a single enemy because quarterback stats were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo grass Bills 13 direct opportunities coming from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Young trumped the Rams thirteen directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to get an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Lamb possesses some sideline problems, the best seems ahead out of him. During the course of in 2014's reduction at San Francisco, Sheep maintained to himself on the subsidiary and then adhered to with six activities with at the very least 11 catches and also seven games along with more than one hundred lawns. In recently's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb had a squabble along with Prescott and performed not talk with the media after the game. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually regretful and claimed he will be actually better. In the 1st one-half alone, he possessed six catches for 94 gardens (both period highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He has 3 basket of 60 backyards in his profession, including a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL record held by Brett Maher, that made 4 along with the Cowboys over 2 different jobs. Aubrey created a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 lawns this time. The rest of the organization is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will certainly possess 10 days to prepare for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will assist due to the fact that there is still a whole lot that needs to have to be fixed, despite the succeed. Over the last 3 video games, resisting quarterbacks have actually skipped on merely 19 successfully pases. Versus the Saints and also Ravens, that was actually understandable because both groups were actually therefore leading on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had excessive time to throw for much of the activity after recently being actually tortured due to the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend 8 activities just before Thursday. Oh, and they were actually penalized 9 times in the first half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext activity: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants kept it close against the Cowboys, yet they still failed to come away along with a succeed. After final season, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their pair of appointments with the Cowboys, this needs to be viewed as progression, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical triumphes in the NFL, but this was actually the third organized come in the correct path for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The gap, at the very least to some degree, has actually narrowed between the division competitors. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has actually won 14 of recent 15 matches, and also Prescott has trumped all of them thirteen straight times. New York still isn't fairly certainly there as yet, but this confirmed it's at the very least improving.QB break down: Jones was actually reliable, accomplishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% completion) for 281 lawns with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the ultimate secs. Yet the Giants were actually stayed out of the end region, as well as Jones needed on many of his deep throws. It's especially notable considering this was a problem early in training school. There was a considerable amount of suitable for Jones, however it was actually almost sufficient. Jones is actually precisely participating in better given that the opener. Having rookie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) absolutely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the game in the 4th quarter along with a concussion, Nabers kept contributing to his reports. He became the 1st player in NFL background with at least 25 receptions as well as 3 touchdowns in his first four job games when he saw a 3-yard elapsed early in the 2nd quarter. He right now possesses 35 events for 386 gardens and also three goals in 4 games.Troubling fad: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the closest guardian on four goal passes currently this period, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. Banks was actually beat once more on Thursday evening, this moment by Lamb for a 55-yard credit rating in the 2nd quarter. The Giants were actually wishing Banks will step into the CB1 task this time. As an alternative, it has been a struggle thus far.Biggest hole in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't capable to receive anything using the operating video game against the league's worst run protection. Dallas entered the contest making it possible for 185.7 yards on the ground per activity. The Giants entered the video game assuming they will possess success however possessed only 29 yards entering the very first one-half-- and also they do with 26 backyards on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
