Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday evening's video game, the Nyc Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys discussed final spot in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored two first-half touchdowns and also confined the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the half. It was actually a protective battle the rest of the way, as neither team racked up a touchdown in the second half.Dallas grabbed its own 2nd win of the period along with a last score of 20-15, yet superstar side rush Micah Parsons was ferried off the area behind time in the game with a remaining ankle/foot personal injury. He stated subsequently that X-rays were adverse and also he will certainly get an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice recipient Malik Nabers likewise went out the activity in the fourth one-fourth after enduring a concussion.Here are the absolute most significant factors to recognize from Thursday night for each crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did not speak to the media before Thursday's game against the Giants. He claimed he will speak "post gain." The Cowboys got the gain, yet it had not been an imaginative appeal. Nonetheless, after Dallas was embarrassed in next home losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only factor that mattered was actually obtaining a succeed on a short week.Being 2-2 is so much better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys dropped, it will possess marked the first time they lost three September video games considering that 2001, and also they would certainly have resided in last location in the NFC East.Prescott was actually sharp, particularly in the 1st fifty percent along with touchdown passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 gardens) and Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The protection eventually quit the run as well as tensed in the red region, keeping the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has actually now won 13 straight versus the Giants. His final reduction was available in 2016 as a newbie. He linked the second-longest win streak through a quarterback versus a solitary enemy since quarterback stats were first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo Bills 13 direct times from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Young beat the Rams thirteen directly coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will certainly acquire a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Sheep has some subsidiary concerns, the very best seems to find away from him. In the course of in 2015's loss at San Francisco, Sheep maintained to themself on the subsidiary and after that observed along with six video games with at least 11 catches and seven games with greater than one hundred yards. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb had a spat with Prescott and also performed not speak to the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Sheep was regretful as well as mentioned he would be actually much better. In the 1st one-half alone, he possessed six catches for 94 gardens (both season highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He has three basket of 60 lawns in his career, including a 60-yarder in the third quarter against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file kept through Brett Maher, that created four along with the Cowboys over 2 different jobs. Aubrey made a 60-yarder recently against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 yards this period. The rest of the game is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys are going to have 10 times to prepare yourself for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will certainly aid since there is actually still a great deal that needs to be improved, despite having the gain. In the past three games, resisting quarterbacks have overlooked on just 19 successfully pases. Against the Saints and Ravens, that was actually understandable considering that each groups were thus dominant on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed excessive time to toss for much of the video game after formerly being agonized by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in 8 video games before Thursday. Oh, as well as they were punished 9 times in the first one-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 against the Cowboys, yet they still didn't happen away with a succeed. After final time, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two appointments along with the Cowboys, this must be considered as progress, right?Sure, there are no moral victories in the NFL, but this was actually the 3rd organized action in the correct direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, at the very least relatively, has tightened between the department opponents. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has won 14 of recent 15 competitions, and Prescott has defeated them thirteen straight times. Nyc still isn't very certainly there as yet, yet this showed it's at the very least improving.QB malfunction: Jones was effective, finishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% finalization) for 281 yards along with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the ultimate seconds. But the Giants were actually kept out of completion region, and also Jones needed on most of his centered throws. It is actually specifically significant considering this was an issue early in training camp. There was actually a lot of suitable for Jones, but it was actually almost adequate. Jones is accurately playing much better given that the opener. Possessing newbie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 backyards) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving behind the game in the fourth one-fourth with a trauma, Nabers maintained adding to his reports. He became the very first gamer in NFL past history along with at least 25 functions and three touchdowns in his very first four profession activities when he found a 3-yard elapsed early in the second quarter. He right now has 35 functions for 386 backyards and also three goals in four games.Troubling style: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the nearest defender on four goal passes currently this season, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. Banks was defeated once again on Thursday evening, this time around through Lamb for a 55-yard credit rating in the 2nd one-fourth. The Giants were wishing Banks will enter the CB1 function this period. Instead, it has actually been a struggle so far.Biggest opening in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to receive everything entering the operating video game against the organization's worst operate protection. Dallas entered the competition making it possible for 185.7 backyards on the ground every activity. The Giants came into the activity assuming they would certainly have results however had simply 29 backyards entering the 1st fifty percent-- as well as they completed with 26 gardens on 24 holds.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
