Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering into Thursday night's game, the The big apple Giants and also Dallas Cowboys discussed final area in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philly Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half goals and confined the Giants to 3 basket to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was a defensive fight the rest of the technique, as neither staff scored a goal in the second half.Dallas got its own second gain of the season with a final score of 20-15, yet celebrity side rush Micah Parsons was ferried off the field behind time in the activity along with a left ankle/foot trauma. He stated thereafter that X-rays were actually unfavorable and he will certainly obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers likewise left the activity in the 4th quarter after enduring a concussion.Here are the best essential points to know coming from Thursday evening for each teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out not talk with the media prior to Thursday's game versus the Giants. He mentioned he will communicate "message succeed." The Cowboys obtained the succeed, yet it had not been a creative appeal. Nevertheless, after Dallas was embarrassed in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only factor that mattered was actually receiving a gain on a brief week.Being 2-2 is actually a great deal far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it would certainly have noted the first time they dropped three September video games considering that 2001, as well as they will have been in last spot in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, particularly in the 1st one-half with goal passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 yards) and also Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The self defense ultimately stopped the operate and also tensed in the red area, holding the Giants to five area goals.Prescott has actually currently gained 13 straight versus the Giants. His final reduction was available in 2016 as a rookie. He linked the second-longest gain streak through a quarterback versus a solitary enemy due to the fact that quarterback stats were 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo Bills thirteen straight times coming from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Youthful defeated the Rams 13 right from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will certainly get an odds at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Lamb possesses some side project issues, the best seems to be to follow away from him. During the course of in 2014's reduction at San Francisco, Sheep kept to himself on the side project and then followed with 6 video games along with at the very least 11 catches as well as 7 activities along with much more than 100 lawns. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Lamb had an altercation along with Prescott and also carried out not speak to the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Sheep was actually apologetic as well as claimed he would certainly be actually a lot better. In the first fifty percent alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 gardens (both time highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually played 21 ready the Cowboys. He has three basket of 60 backyards in his career, featuring a 60-yarder in the third quarter against the Giants. That's one off the NFL document secured through Brett Maher, who made four with the Cowboys over pair of various assignments. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 backyards this period. The rest of the league is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will definitely possess 10 days to prepare for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The time is going to aid because there is still a whole lot that needs to be fixed, even with the gain. Previously three activities, opposing quarterbacks have skipped on simply 19 successfully pases. Versus the Saints and also Ravens, that was understandable considering that each staffs were actually therefore prevalent on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed too much opportunity to throw for much of the video game after recently being actually agonized by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in eight activities before Thursday. Oh, as well as they were actually imposed penalty on nine times in the first half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext activity: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants kept it close versus the Cowboys, however they still really did not happen away along with a win. After final season, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two meetings with the Cowboys, this has to be actually viewed as development, right?Sure, there are no ethical success in the NFL, yet this was the third organized step in the right path for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, at least to some extent, has actually tightened between the division rivals. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually gained 14 of the past 15 matchups, as well as Prescott has actually trumped all of them thirteen straight times. Nyc still isn't fairly certainly there yet, but this showed it goes to the very least improving.QB break down: Jones was efficient, finishing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% completion) for 281 gardens along with an interception on a Hail Mary in the last seconds. However the Giants were actually kept out of the end zone, and also Jones needed on most of his deep tosses. It's especially noteworthy considering this was actually a complication early in training school. There was actually a great deal of suitable for Jones, but it was actually not quite sufficient. Jones is actually clearly playing much better considering that the opener. Possessing rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 lawns) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the activity in the fourth quarter along with a trauma, Nabers kept adding to his files. He ended up being the 1st gamer in NFL record with at the very least 25 receptions and three touchdowns in his first four career games when he saw a 3-yard elapsed early in the 2nd one-fourth. He now has 35 events for 386 yards as well as 3 goals in four games.Troubling pattern: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been the nearest guardian on 4 touchdown passes actually this period, depending on to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Financial institutions was trumped once more on Thursday night, this moment by Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the 2nd one-fourth. The Giants were really hoping Financial institutions will enter the CB1 role this season. As an alternative, it has been actually a problem thus far.Biggest opening in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't capable to receive everything entering the running video game versus the game's worst operate defense. Dallas entered the competition making it possible for 185.7 gardens on the ground every game. The Giants entered the activity believing they would possess excellence yet had merely 29 yards entering the 1st one-half-- and also they finished with 26 lawns on 24 brings.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
