Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering into Thursday evening's video game, the New York Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys discussed last location in the NFC East at 1-2, a game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philly Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half touchdowns and also confined the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was a defensive fight the rest of the technique, as neither team racked up a goal in the second half.Dallas grabbed its second win of the period along with a last score of 20-15, however celebrity side rush Micah Parsons was ferried off the field behind time in the game with a remaining ankle/foot trauma. He stated later that X-rays were actually unfavorable and also he will certainly get an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie receiver Malik Nabers additionally exited the video game in the 4th one-fourth after going through a concussion.Here are the most crucial things to understand from Thursday evening for both teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did not talk with the media before Thursday's game versus the Giants. He claimed he would certainly speak "post succeed." The Cowboys obtained the gain, however it wasn't an imaginative appeal. However, after Dallas was actually humiliated in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was acquiring a gain on a short week.Being 2-2 is a great deal far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it would possess marked the first time they shed 3 September activities due to the fact that 2001, and they will have remained in last location in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, specifically in the initial one-half along with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 yards) and Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The defense finally stopped the run and stiffened in the red zone, holding the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has right now won 13 straight versus the Giants. His last loss can be found in 2016 as a newbie. He linked the second-longest gain touch through a quarterback versus a singular challenger since quarterback stats were actually 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Bills 13 direct opportunities from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful trumped the Rams thirteen directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will certainly acquire a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Lamb has some subsidiary problems, the best appears to come away from him. During the course of in 2013's loss at San Francisco, Lamb maintained to themself on the subsidiary and after that adhered to along with six video games along with at least 11 catches as well as seven games with much more than one hundred lawns. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Lamb had a spat along with Prescott as well as did not talk with the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Sheep was regretful and also mentioned he will be much better. In the first one-half alone, he had six catches for 94 yards (both period highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He has three field goals of 60 yards in his profession, including a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth versus the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file kept through Brett Maher, who helped make four with the Cowboys over two different jobs. Aubrey made a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 yards this season. The remainder of the game is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys are going to have 10 times to get ready for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will certainly assist because there is actually still a lot that requires to be repaired, despite having the succeed. Before three video games, opposing quarterbacks have actually missed on merely 19 passes. Against the Saints as well as Ravens, that was actually easy to understand given that each groups were thus leading on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had way too much opportunity to toss for much of the activity after recently being actually tormented due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend eight games just before Thursday. Oh, and also they were actually punished nine attend the 1st one-half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext activity: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants maintained it close versus the Cowboys, but they still didn't come away along with a win. After last period, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their two meetings with the Cowboys, this needs to be deemed progress, right?Sure, there are actually no moral success in the NFL, but this was actually the third straight action in the correct path for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The space, at least to some extent, has narrowed between the branch competitors. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has won 14 of recent 15 competitions, and also Prescott has defeated all of them thirteen straight opportunities. New York still isn't very there as yet, however this proved it's at minimum improving.QB breakdown: Jones was actually reliable, completing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% conclusion) for 281 lawns along with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the ultimate secs. However the Giants were actually stayed out of the end area, as well as Jones was short on the majority of his deep tosses. It is actually particularly remarkable considering this was a complication early in training school. There was actually a ton of suitable for Jones, however it was actually not quite adequate. Jones is precisely playing far better because the opener. Having rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 backyards) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving behind the activity in the 4th one-fourth with a blast, Nabers always kept contributing to his files. He ended up being the first gamer in NFL past history along with at the very least 25 receptions as well as 3 touchdowns in his 1st four career video games when he found a 3-yard pass early in the 2nd fourth. He currently possesses 35 celebrations for 386 lawns and also three goals in four games.Troubling fad: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the nearby protector on four goal passes presently this time, depending on to NFL Next Gen Statistics. Banks was actually defeated again on Thursday night, this moment through Lamb for a 55-yard score in the second fourth. The Giants were hoping Banking companies would enter the CB1 task this season. Rather, it has actually been actually a struggle therefore far.Biggest opening in the strategy: The Giants weren't able to get just about anything going in the operating video game against the league's worst run defense. Dallas entered into the contest allowing 185.7 yards on the ground per video game. The Giants came into the game believing they will possess success but possessed simply 29 backyards entering the first fifty percent-- and also they completed with 26 yards on 24 brings.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
