Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering Thursday night's video game, the Nyc Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys discussed final spot in the NFC East at 1-2, a game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up pair of first-half touchdowns and also limited the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was a protective war the rest of the means, as neither team scored a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas got its own 2nd gain of the season along with a last credit rating of 20-15, but superstar side rusher Micah Parsons was brought off the area behind time in the activity with a nigh side ankle/foot trauma. He said afterward that X-rays were negative and he will get an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice recipient Malik Nabers additionally exited the game in the fourth one-fourth after suffering a concussion.Here are actually the best significant factors to understand from Thursday evening for each groups: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed certainly not talk with the media just before Thursday's activity against the Giants. He claimed he would certainly speak "article gain." The Cowboys got the win, but it wasn't an imaginative appeal. Having said that, after Dallas was actually embarrassed in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was acquiring a gain on a brief week.Being 2-2 is so much far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys lost, it would certainly have marked the first time they dropped three September games due to the fact that 2001, as well as they will have been in final place in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, particularly in the very first half along with touchdown passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 lawns) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The defense ultimately ceased the operate and also stabilized in the hole region, keeping the Giants to five industry goals.Prescott has currently gained 13 straight against the Giants. His last reduction was available in 2016 as a newbie. He tied the second-longest gain touch through a quarterback against a single challenger because quarterback stats were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo grass Costs 13 direct times coming from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Young trumped the Rams 13 right coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to acquire a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Lamb has some sideline issues, the most ideal appears ahead away from him. In the course of last year's loss at San Francisco, Lamb maintained to himself on the sideline and afterwards observed along with six video games along with at the very least 11 catches and 7 video games with much more than one hundred backyards. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Lamb possessed an altercation along with Prescott as well as performed certainly not speak with the media after the game. On Tuesday, Sheep was regretful and also mentioned he will be better. In the 1st one-half alone, he had 6 catches for 94 gardens (both period highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He possesses three field goals of 60 backyards in his job, consisting of a 60-yarder in the third fourth against the Giants. That's one off the NFL record kept through Brett Maher, that helped make 4 with the Cowboys over pair of various stints. Aubrey created a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 backyards this period. The rest of the league is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will certainly possess 10 days to get ready for the currently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will aid given that there is still a lot that needs to have to be dealt with, even with the gain. Before three activities, resisting quarterbacks have actually overlooked on only 19 passes. Against the Saints and also Ravens, that was actually easy to understand given that both teams were so prevalent on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had way too much opportunity to toss for much of the video game after earlier being agonized by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend 8 activities before Thursday. Oh, as well as they were punished 9 attend the 1st 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, but they still didn't happen away along with a win. After final season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 conferences along with the Cowboys, this needs to be actually viewed as progress, right?Sure, there are no moral victories in the NFL, however this was actually the 3rd organized action in the best instructions for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The space, at least relatively, has actually tightened in between the division opponents. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has actually succeeded 14 of the past 15 matches, as well as Prescott has actually defeated them 13 straight times. New york city still isn't quite certainly there as yet, but this showed it goes to the very least improving.QB breakdown: Jones was actually effective, finishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% conclusion) for 281 gardens along with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the last few seconds. Yet the Giants were shut out of the end region, and Jones needed on the majority of his centered throws. It is actually specifically notable considering this was actually a complication early in training school. There was a ton of helpful for Jones, but it was actually almost sufficient. Jones is accurately playing better because the opener. Possessing novice pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the game in the fourth one-fourth with a trauma, Nabers maintained including in his reports. He came to be the first gamer in NFL history along with at the very least 25 functions as well as 3 goals in his very first 4 occupation video games when he caught a 3-yard pass early in the second one-fourth. He now has 35 receptions for 386 lawns and three goals in 4 games.Troubling pattern: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been the nearest defender on 4 goal passes actually this season, according to NFL Next Generation Stats. Banks was actually defeated once again on Thursday evening, this time around through Lamb for a 55-yard rating in the 2nd quarter. The Giants were actually hoping Banks would step into the CB1 task this period. Rather, it has actually been a struggle so far.Biggest hole in the strategy: The Giants weren't capable to acquire just about anything entering the operating activity versus the organization's worst run self defense. Dallas came into the contest permitting 185.7 yards on the ground per activity. The Giants came into the activity thinking they will have effectiveness but had simply 29 yards rushing in the initial fifty percent-- and also they do with 26 backyards on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
