Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering into Thursday night's video game, the New york city Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed final area in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up two first-half touchdowns and also confined the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was a protective battle the remainder of the method, as neither group racked up a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its second gain of the season along with a final rating of 20-15, yet celebrity edge rush Micah Parsons was actually carted off the area late in the game with a nigh side ankle/foot accident. He claimed afterward that X-rays were actually negative and he is going to acquire an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers additionally exited the video game in the fourth quarter after experiencing a concussion.Here are one of the most vital points to know coming from Thursday night for each staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out certainly not speak with the media prior to Thursday's video game against the Giants. He said he will communicate "article win." The Cowboys obtained the win, yet it had not been an artistic elegance. However, after Dallas was actually shamed in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually receiving a succeed on a short week.Being 2-2 is actually a lot better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys shed, it will possess marked the first time they lost 3 September activities because 2001, and they would certainly have been in final spot in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, specifically in the first fifty percent along with touchdown passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 lawns) and Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The defense finally quit the operate and also stiffened at a loss area, storing the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has actually currently gained thirteen straight versus the Giants. His final reduction can be found in 2016 as a novice. He connected the second-longest win touch by a quarterback against a solitary rival given that quarterback stats were initial tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo Expenses thirteen direct times from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Young trumped the Rams thirteen straight coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to obtain a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Sheep has some side project problems, the best seems to be to find out of him. In the course of last year's reduction at San Francisco, Lamb maintained to themself on the sideline and then adhered to with 6 games along with a minimum of 11 catches and 7 games with greater than one hundred gardens. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Sheep possessed an altercation along with Prescott and also did certainly not speak to the media after the game. On Tuesday, Sheep was actually regretful as well as said he would certainly be a lot better. In the very first one-half alone, he possessed six catches for 94 yards (both season highs) as well as 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 one-fourth against the Giants. That's one off the NFL report held through Brett Maher, who produced four along with the Cowboys over pair of various jobs. Aubrey made a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 coming from 60 gardens this time. The remainder of the league is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys are going to possess 10 times to get ready for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will definitely aid because there is actually still a whole lot that needs to be improved, despite having the gain. Previously 3 video games, opposing quarterbacks have skipped on only 19 elapseds. Versus the Saints as well as Ravens, that was actually reasonable considering that both staffs were thus prevalent on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had too much time to toss for much of the video game after formerly being actually tortured by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 times in 8 video games just before Thursday. Oh, as well as they were penalized nine times in the first half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext game: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants kept it close against the Cowboys, but they still failed to happen away with a succeed. After final time, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their 2 meetings with the Cowboys, this must be actually viewed as development, right?Sure, there are no ethical success in the NFL, but this was the 3rd organized intervene the appropriate path for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The void, a minimum of to some degree, has actually limited in between the branch rivals. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has gained 14 of the past 15 matches, as well as Prescott has actually beaten them 13 straight times. New York still isn't fairly certainly there as yet, however this verified it goes to the very least improving.QB breakdown: Jones was actually efficient, accomplishing 29 of 40 passes (73% conclusion) for 281 backyards with an interception on a Hail Mary in the final seconds. However the Giants were actually kept out of the end area, as well as Jones was short on many of his centered throws. It's particularly notable considering this was an issue early in training school. There was a ton of great for Jones, but it was actually almost enough. Jones is actually accurately participating in much better given that the opener. Possessing novice wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 backyards) absolutely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the game in the 4th one-fourth along with a blast, Nabers kept contributing to his files. He came to be the very first gamer in NFL past history with at the very least 25 functions and three goals in his initial 4 profession video games when he caught a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second one-fourth. He now possesses 35 celebrations for 386 yards as well as 3 touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling style: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the nearest guardian on four goal passes already this season, according to NFL Next Gen Statistics. Financial institutions was beat once more on Thursday evening, this time around through Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the second quarter. The Giants were actually really hoping Financial institutions would certainly enter the CB1 duty this period. As an alternative, it has been a battle so far.Biggest hole in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to acquire everything going in the running video game versus the league's worst operate defense. Dallas entered the contest making it possible for 185.7 backyards on the ground per game. The Giants entered the game assuming they would certainly possess excellence but had simply 29 lawns rushing in the first fifty percent-- as well as they completed with 26 gardens on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
