Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Going into Thursday night's activity, the Nyc Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys discussed last place in the NFC East at 1-2, a game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half goals as well as restricted the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the half. It was actually a protective struggle the remainder of the technique, as neither group scored a touchdown in the second half.Dallas got its 2nd succeed of the season with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, but celebrity edge rusher Micah Parsons was ferried off the field behind time in the video game along with a nigh side ankle/foot injury. He claimed subsequently that X-rays were actually damaging and also he will certainly obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie recipient Malik Nabers likewise went out the game in the fourth quarter after suffering a concussion.Here are actually the best crucial things to recognize coming from Thursday night for both crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did certainly not speak to the media before Thursday's game against the Giants. He said he would certainly speak "blog post gain." The Cowboys acquired the win, however it had not been an imaginative appeal. Nevertheless, after Dallas was actually humiliated in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only factor that mattered was getting a gain on a quick week.Being 2-2 is a great deal better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys lost, it would certainly have marked the first time they shed 3 September games due to the fact that 2001, and they will have remained in last location in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, especially in the 1st half with touchdown passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 backyards) and Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The self defense lastly ceased the operate and tensed at a loss zone, holding the Giants to five field goals.Prescott has right now won 13 straight against the Giants. His final loss can be found in 2016 as a newbie. He connected the second-longest win streak by a quarterback versus a singular challenger given that quarterback stats were actually first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo Costs thirteen direct times from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Youthful trumped the Rams 13 directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will certainly acquire a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Sheep possesses some side project issues, the best seems to come away from him. In the course of in 2015's loss at San Francisco, Lamb always kept to himself on the side project and afterwards observed with six video games with at least 11 catches and also seven games along with much more than 100 lawns. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Sheep had a squabble along with Prescott and carried out certainly not speak with the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually regretful as well as claimed he would be actually better. In the first fifty percent alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 gardens (both time highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He possesses 3 field goals of 60 backyards in his career, consisting of a 60-yarder in the 3rd quarter versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL document kept through Brett Maher, that produced four along with the Cowboys over 2 different assignments. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 coming from 60 backyards this period. The rest of the game is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys are going to have 10 times to get ready for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The time is going to assist because there is still a whole lot that requires to be remedied, despite having the succeed. In the past 3 video games, resisting quarterbacks have actually missed on merely 19 elapseds. Against the Saints and also Ravens, that was logical because both groups were actually so dominant on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had too much opportunity to throw for a lot of the game after previously being tormented due to the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend 8 video games prior to Thursday. Oh, and they were punished nine attend the 1st 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, yet they still failed to come away along with a gain. After final season, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two conferences along with the Cowboys, this has to be viewed as development, right?Sure, there are no ethical success in the NFL, yet this was actually the third organized action in the correct path for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The gap, at the very least relatively, has tightened in between the department competitors. Dallas still has the Giants. It has succeeded 14 of the past 15 matchups, as well as Prescott has trumped all of them thirteen straight opportunities. New york city still isn't pretty certainly there as yet, yet this verified it goes to minimum improving.QB malfunction: Jones was actually efficient, accomplishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% conclusion) for 281 yards with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the ultimate secs. However the Giants were shut out of the end zone, and also Jones was short on many of his centered throws. It is actually specifically noteworthy considering this was a complication early in training camp. There was a considerable amount of good for Jones, yet it was actually almost sufficient. Jones is accurately participating in much better because the opener. Possessing rookie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 backyards) undoubtedly helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the game in the fourth quarter with a trauma, Nabers maintained contributing to his reports. He ended up being the 1st player in NFL record with at the very least 25 events and also 3 touchdowns in his initial 4 occupation video games when he caught a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second quarter. He currently possesses 35 functions for 386 yards as well as 3 touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling pattern: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the closest defender on 4 goal passes actually this period, depending on to NFL Next Generation Stats. Financial institutions was actually beat once again on Thursday evening, this moment through Sheep for a 55-yard score in the second fourth. The Giants were actually wishing Financial institutions would enter the CB1 function this time. Instead, it has actually been a problem thus far.Biggest gap in the game plan: The Giants weren't capable to receive just about anything entering the managing video game against the league's worst operate self defense. Dallas came into the competition allowing 185.7 lawns on the ground every video game. The Giants entered into the activity believing they would certainly possess success however had just 29 yards rushing in the very first one-half-- and they finished with 26 backyards on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
