Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering Thursday night's video game, the New york city Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed last area in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philly Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half goals and also restricted the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the half. It was a protective battle the remainder of the method, as neither team racked up a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas got its own 2nd gain of the season with a final credit rating of 20-15, but star side rush Micah Parsons was brought off the industry behind time in the game with a left ankle/foot accident. He stated subsequently that X-rays were actually unfavorable and he will definitely receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers additionally went out the video game in the fourth quarter after enduring a concussion.Here are actually the best essential points to recognize from Thursday evening for each staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed certainly not speak with the media prior to Thursday's game versus the Giants. He mentioned he will speak "post win." The Cowboys acquired the win, but it wasn't an artistic beauty. Nevertheless, after Dallas was actually embarrassed in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only factor that mattered was actually acquiring a gain on a brief week.Being 2-2 is a great deal better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys shed, it would certainly have denoted the very first time they shed three September games given that 2001, and also they would possess resided in final area in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, specifically in the initial one-half along with touchdown passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 yards) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The defense eventually stopped the run and stabilized at a loss zone, holding the Giants to 5 industry goals.Prescott has actually now gained 13 straight versus the Giants. His last reduction was available in 2016 as a novice. He linked the second-longest win touch by a quarterback against a single enemy considering that quarterback stats were actually very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Costs thirteen straight times coming from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Young defeated the Rams 13 directly coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely get an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Sheep has some sideline issues, the most ideal appears to come away from him. During in 2013's reduction at San Francisco, Lamb maintained to himself on the side project and afterwards followed with 6 activities with at the very least 11 catches and seven activities along with much more than 100 yards. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Sheep had a spat with Prescott as well as did not speak to the media after the game. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually regretful and mentioned he will be a lot better. In the first fifty percent alone, he had 6 catches for 94 gardens (both time highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses 3 field goals of 60 lawns in his career, including a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL report secured by Brett Maher, that made four along with the Cowboys over pair of various assignments. Aubrey made a 60-yarder recently against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 lawns this season. The remainder of the organization is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys are going to have 10 times to prepare for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will certainly assist given that there is actually still a whole lot that needs to have to become improved, even with the gain. In the past 3 video games, opposing quarterbacks have actually missed on merely 19 elapseds. Against the Saints and Ravens, that was easy to understand since each staffs were so prevalent on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed excessive opportunity to toss for much of the game after earlier being actually agonized by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend eight activities just before Thursday. Oh, and they were penalized 9 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 didn't come away along with a succeed. After last period, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two meetings with the Cowboys, this needs to be viewed as improvement, right?Sure, there are no ethical triumphes in the NFL, however this was actually the 3rd straight intervene the correct instructions for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The void, at least to some extent, has limited in between the department rivals. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has gained 14 of recent 15 competitions, as well as Prescott has actually trumped all of them thirteen direct times. Nyc still isn't fairly certainly there yet, however this verified it goes to least improving.QB break down: Jones was actually effective, accomplishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% finalization) for 281 yards along with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the final few seconds. Yet the Giants were actually kept out of completion zone, and also Jones needed on a lot of his deep tosses. It is actually specifically significant considering this was a concern early in training school. There was a bunch of good for Jones, however it was not quite enough. Jones is clearly participating in better due to the fact that the opener. Possessing rookie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 backyards) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the video game in the fourth quarter with a concussion, Nabers maintained contributing to his files. He became the very first player in NFL past history along with a minimum of 25 functions and also three touchdowns in his very first 4 occupation games when he saw a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second quarter. He right now possesses 35 receptions for 386 gardens and also three goals in four games.Troubling trend: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the local guardian on four goal passes actually this time, according to NFL Next Generation Stats. Banking companies was trumped again on Thursday night, this time around through Sheep for a 55-yard credit rating in the 2nd fourth. The Giants were actually really hoping Financial institutions will step into the CB1 role this season. As an alternative, it has actually been actually a struggle thus far.Biggest hole in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to acquire anything going in the running game versus the league's worst operate protection. Dallas came into the competition permitting 185.7 lawns on the ground every activity. The Giants came into the game assuming they will have results yet had only 29 lawns rushing in the very first one-half-- and they do with 26 yards on 24 brings.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
