Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering into Thursday evening's game, the New york city Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys shared last area in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored 2 first-half goals and confined the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was actually a protective war the remainder of the means, as neither team racked up a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its own 2nd gain of the period along with a last rating of 20-15, but celebrity edge rush Micah Parsons was taken off the field late in the activity along with a left ankle/foot personal injury. He mentioned thereafter that X-rays were damaging and he is going to obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie recipient Malik Nabers likewise exited the video game in the 4th one-fourth after suffering a concussion.Here are actually the best significant factors to understand coming from Thursday night for both crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out certainly not contact the media just before Thursday's game against the Giants. He stated he would talk "message succeed." The Cowboys received the gain, yet it wasn't an artistic elegance. Nevertheless, after Dallas was humiliated in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only factor that mattered was getting a gain on a quick week.Being 2-2 is so much far better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys lost, it will possess marked the very first time they shed three September video games due to the fact that 2001, and also they will possess resided in final place in the NFC East.Prescott was actually sharp, especially in the very first half along with goal passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 backyards) and Rico Dowdle (15 gardens). The self defense ultimately stopped the operate and also tensed at a loss area, holding the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has now gained thirteen straight against the Giants. His final loss was available in 2016 as a rookie. He linked the second-longest win streak through a quarterback against a single rival since quarterback stats were actually very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Bills thirteen direct opportunities coming from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful beat the Rams 13 directly coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely get an odds at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Lamb possesses some side project issues, the very best appears to follow away from him. In the course of in 2013's loss at San Francisco, Sheep kept to himself on the side project and then observed along with 6 video games along with at least 11 catches and 7 activities with much more than 100 lawns. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb possessed an altercation along with Prescott and performed certainly not talk with the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Lamb was regretful as well as said he will be a lot better. In the very first half alone, he had 6 catches for 94 yards (both period highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually played 21 ready the Cowboys. He has 3 basket of 60 lawns in his career, including a 60-yarder in the 3rd one-fourth versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL record held by Brett Maher, that produced 4 along with the Cowboys over two various jobs. Aubrey created a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 gardens this period. The remainder of the game is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will definitely have 10 times to prepare for the currently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time will aid given that there is actually still a whole lot that requires to become repaired, despite the succeed. Over the last three video games, resisting quarterbacks have actually missed on only 19 elapseds. Versus the Saints and also Ravens, that was actually reasonable due to the fact that each teams were actually so leading on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed a lot of time to throw for a lot of the game after formerly being tortured by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 times in 8 activities just before Thursday. Oh, and also they were punished nine attend the first half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext video 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, however they still really did not happen away along with a gain. After last season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their pair of meetings along with the Cowboys, this needs to be actually deemed development, right?Sure, there are actually no moral success in the NFL, but this was actually the third organized action in the ideal path for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The void, a minimum of to some degree, has tightened between the division opponents. Dallas still owns the Giants. It has gained 14 of the past 15 matches, and Prescott has trumped all of them 13 direct opportunities. New York still isn't very certainly there as yet, however this showed it's at least improving.QB malfunction: Jones was actually dependable, completing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% finalization) for 281 yards with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the ultimate secs. However the Giants were actually stayed out of the end region, and Jones needed on many of his centered throws. It's specifically remarkable considering this was a complication early in training camp. There was actually a ton of good for Jones, but it was actually almost adequate. Jones is actually clearly playing better considering that the opener. Possessing newbie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) undoubtedly helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the video game in the fourth quarter along with a trauma, Nabers maintained adding to his records. He ended up being the first gamer in NFL past with a minimum of 25 receptions and three touchdowns in his first four profession games when he got a 3-yard elapsed early in the second one-fourth. He right now has 35 celebrations for 386 yards and 3 touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling style: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the nearby protector on 4 touchdown passes presently this season, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. Banking companies was defeated once again on Thursday night, this time through Sheep for a 55-yard score in the second quarter. The Giants were hoping Financial institutions will step into the CB1 role this period. Rather, it has actually been a battle so far.Biggest gap in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to acquire everything using the managing game against the organization's worst run self defense. Dallas entered the contest enabling 185.7 backyards on the ground per activity. The Giants came into the game thinking they would certainly have results yet possessed only 29 lawns rushing in the initial fifty percent-- and they completed with 26 gardens on 24 brings.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
