Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday night's game, the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys shared last location in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philly Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half touchdowns and restricted the Giants to 3 basket to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was actually a protective battle the remainder of the technique, as neither staff scored a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its own second gain of the period along with a last score of 20-15, but celebrity edge rusher Micah Parsons was brought off the area late in the activity with a remaining ankle/foot injury. He claimed thereafter that X-rays were actually adverse and also he is going to obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers additionally exited the activity in the 4th one-fourth after going through a concussion.Here are actually the most important things to understand coming from Thursday evening for both crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did not speak to the media prior to Thursday's video game versus the Giants. He mentioned he will talk "post succeed." The Cowboys acquired the win, however it wasn't an artistic beauty. Nonetheless, after Dallas was actually embarrassed in next home losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was getting a gain on a brief week.Being 2-2 is a great deal better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys shed, it would certainly have noted the very first time they lost 3 September games given that 2001, and they will have remained in last location in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, specifically in the 1st one-half with goal exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 gardens) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The defense eventually stopped the operate as well as tensed in the red area, keeping the Giants to five industry goals.Prescott has right now won thirteen straight against the Giants. His last loss was available in 2016 as a newbie. He connected the second-longest gain touch through a quarterback against a single rival considering that quarterback stats were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo Expenses 13 straight times coming from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Young beat the Rams thirteen straight from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will receive a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Lamb has some sideline issues, the most ideal seems to be to find away from him. During in 2015's reduction at San Francisco, Sheep kept to themself on the side project and after that followed with six activities with at the very least 11 catches and also 7 games with more than 100 lawns. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Lamb possessed an altercation along with Prescott and performed certainly not talk with the media after the game. On Tuesday, Sheep was regretful and also mentioned he would certainly be actually better. In the initial half alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 yards (both season highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 games for the Cowboys. He possesses three field goals of 60 backyards in his job, consisting of a 60-yarder in the 3rd quarter versus the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL report kept through Brett Maher, that created 4 along with the Cowboys over 2 various assignments. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder recently against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 yards this season. The remainder of the game is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys are going to have 10 days to get ready for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will aid because there is still a great deal that needs to become corrected, despite having the win. Over the last three games, opposing quarterbacks have actually overlooked on simply 19 elapseds. Against the Saints and Ravens, that was actually understandable considering that both crews were thus leading on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had a lot of time to toss for much of the video game after recently being agonized by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in 8 activities prior to Thursday. Oh, and also they were imposed penalty on 9 times in the 1st 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, but they still failed to happen away along with a gain. After last season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 meetings with the Cowboys, this needs to be deemed progression, right?Sure, there are no moral success in the NFL, however this was actually the 3rd organized come in the best direction for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The gap, at the very least relatively, has narrowed in between the department rivals. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has won 14 of the past 15 matchups, and also Prescott has actually trumped all of them thirteen direct opportunities. New York still isn't pretty there certainly yet, however this proved it's at least improving.QB malfunction: Jones was reliable, completing 29 of 40 passes (73% fulfillment) for 281 lawns along with an interception on a Hail Mary in the final few seconds. But the Giants were actually shut out of the end region, as well as Jones needed on most of his deep throws. It is actually especially notable considering this was a problem early in training school. There was a ton of great for Jones, however it was actually not quite adequate. Jones is plainly participating in far better due to the fact that the opener. Having rookie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) absolutely helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the activity in the fourth quarter along with a concussion, Nabers maintained including in his reports. He ended up being the initial gamer in NFL background along with at the very least 25 celebrations and 3 goals in his very first 4 occupation video games when he caught a 3-yard elapsed early in the second fourth. He now possesses 35 events for 386 lawns and three touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling trend: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the local protector on 4 touchdown passes already this season, according to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Banking companies was trumped once more on Thursday night, this moment by Sheep for a 55-yard credit rating in the 2nd quarter. The Giants were really hoping Banks would certainly enter the CB1 task this season. As an alternative, it has actually been actually a battle therefore far.Biggest hole in the strategy: The Giants weren't able to acquire just about anything using the running video game against the game's worst run defense. Dallas came into the competition enabling 185.7 gardens on the ground per activity. The Giants entered into the activity presuming they would certainly have excellence but possessed just 29 gardens entering the first half-- and also they finished with 26 lawns on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
