Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday night's game, the The big apple Giants and also Dallas Cowboys shared last area 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 two first-half goals as well as confined the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was actually a defensive war the rest of the method, as neither crew racked up a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its own 2nd succeed of the period along with an ultimate rating of 20-15, however superstar edge rusher Micah Parsons was actually hauled off the industry late in the video game with a left ankle/foot trauma. He stated subsequently that X-rays were actually unfavorable and also he will definitely get an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie recipient Malik Nabers also left the game in the fourth one-fourth after suffering a concussion.Here are the absolute most essential factors to recognize from Thursday evening for each teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed certainly not talk with the media before Thursday's video game versus the Giants. He stated he would certainly talk "post gain." The Cowboys got the succeed, but it had not been an imaginative appeal. Nevertheless, after Dallas was embarrassed in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually receiving a win on a short week.Being 2-2 is a great deal far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys shed, it would have denoted the very first time they lost three September activities given that 2001, and also they would certainly possess resided in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, particularly in the 1st one-half with goal exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 backyards) and Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The protection eventually ceased the operate and tensed in the hole zone, holding the Giants to five industry goals.Prescott has actually now gained 13 straight versus the Giants. His last reduction can be found in 2016 as a novice. He tied the second-longest gain touch by a quarterback versus a solitary rival given that quarterback stats were actually 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Costs thirteen straight opportunities from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful defeated the Rams thirteen directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely acquire a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Lamb possesses some sideline problems, the best seems to be ahead out of him. During the course of in 2013's loss at San Francisco, Sheep always kept to himself on the side project and after that adhered to with six video games with a minimum of 11 catches as well as 7 video games along with much more than 100 gardens. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Sheep had an altercation with Prescott and did not contact the media after the game. On Tuesday, Sheep was apologetic as well as claimed he would be actually a lot better. In the initial one-half alone, he had six catches for 94 gardens (both period highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses three basket of 60 yards in his job, consisting of a 60-yarder in the third quarter against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL report held through Brett Maher, who made 4 with the Cowboys over 2 various assignments. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 backyards this period. The rest of the organization is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will certainly have 10 days to prepare for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will definitely help because there is still a great deal that needs to have to be repaired, even with the gain. Before 3 video games, opposing quarterbacks have actually overlooked on just 19 elapseds. Versus the Saints as well as Ravens, that was reasonable considering that both crews were actually therefore leading on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed excessive opportunity to toss for much of the activity after formerly being tortured by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend 8 games prior to Thursday. Oh, as well as they were penalized nine times in the first one-half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext video game: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants kept it close versus the Cowboys, yet they still failed to come away along with a gain. After final time, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their pair of meetings along with the Cowboys, this must be viewed as progress, right?Sure, there are no moral success in the NFL, however this was actually the 3rd straight step in the right instructions for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The gap, at the very least to some degree, has tightened in between the division opponents. Dallas still owns the Giants. It has actually succeeded 14 of recent 15 matches, and Prescott has beaten all of them thirteen straight times. Nyc still isn't very there as yet, yet this confirmed it goes to least improving.QB failure: Jones was reliable, accomplishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% fulfillment) for 281 lawns along with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the last secs. Yet the Giants were actually kept out of completion zone, and Jones was short on a lot of his deep throws. It's especially notable considering this was actually a complication early in training camp. There was a ton of suitable for Jones, but it was almost adequate. Jones is actually plainly participating in far better considering that the opener. Possessing novice wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving behind the video game in the fourth quarter along with a trauma, Nabers kept including in his records. He came to be the very first gamer in NFL background along with at the very least 25 events and also 3 goals in his 1st 4 occupation video games when he saw a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second quarter. He currently possesses 35 celebrations for 386 backyards and also three touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling style: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the closest protector on four goal passes actually this time, according to NFL Next Gen Statistics. Financial institutions was beat again on Thursday night, this moment through Lamb for a 55-yard credit rating in the 2nd one-fourth. The Giants were hoping Banking companies will step into the CB1 task this period. Rather, it has actually been actually a battle therefore far.Biggest hole in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to receive everything using the operating game versus the organization's worst operate protection. Dallas came into the contest allowing 185.7 lawns on the ground every game. The Giants came into the activity thinking they would certainly possess results yet had only 29 backyards rushing in the very first half-- as well as they do with 26 lawns on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
