Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday evening's activity, the New york city Giants and Dallas Cowboys shared last place in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philly Eagles.The Cowboys racked up pair of first-half touchdowns and restricted the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was a defensive battle the rest of the technique, as neither crew scored a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas got its 2nd gain of the period along with a final credit rating of 20-15, however star side rush Micah Parsons was actually taken off the area late in the video game with a remaining ankle/foot personal injury. He stated subsequently that X-rays were negative and he is going to receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers also went out the game in the fourth quarter after going through a concussion.Here are the absolute most necessary things to recognize coming from Thursday evening for each crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did not speak with the media prior to Thursday's video game versus the Giants. He mentioned he would certainly talk "article win." The Cowboys acquired the succeed, but it wasn't an artistic appeal. Nevertheless, after Dallas was shamed in next home losses to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was actually receiving a gain on a brief week.Being 2-2 is actually a lot far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys shed, it would possess denoted the first time they shed 3 September video games due to the fact that 2001, and they would certainly have remained in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was actually sharp, specifically in the 1st half with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 gardens) and also Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The protection eventually stopped the operate and also tensed in the hole region, keeping the Giants to five field goals.Prescott has actually right now gained 13 right versus the Giants. His final loss was available in 2016 as a novice. He tied the second-longest win touch through a quarterback against a single challenger due to the fact that quarterback stats were actually initial tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Costs 13 straight times from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Young trumped the Rams thirteen straight coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will certainly acquire a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Lamb possesses some side project issues, the greatest appears to follow away from him. During in 2013's loss at San Francisco, Lamb kept to himself on the side project and after that followed along with 6 video games along with at the very least 11 catches and 7 video games with more than 100 backyards. In recently's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb possessed a spat with Prescott and performed not contact the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Sheep was apologetic and also mentioned he would be actually better. In the very first fifty percent alone, he had 6 catches for 94 gardens (both period highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses three basket of 60 yards in his occupation, including a 60-yarder in the 3rd fourth against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file kept through Brett Maher, that produced 4 along with the Cowboys over two various stints. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder recently against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 gardens this time. The remainder of the organization is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys are going to possess 10 days to get ready for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will definitely aid since there is actually still a great deal that needs to become remedied, despite the succeed. Before 3 video games, opposing quarterbacks have actually skipped on just 19 elapseds. Versus the Saints and also Ravens, that was logical due to the fact that each teams were thus dominant on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had too much time to throw for much of the activity after earlier being agonized due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend eight games just before Thursday. Oh, as well as they were punished nine attend the first fifty percent alone.-- Todd ArcherNext game: 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 really did not come away with a gain. After final season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 meetings with the Cowboys, this has to be viewed as development, right?Sure, there are actually no moral victories in the NFL, yet this was the 3rd organized action in the best direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, at least to some degree, has narrowed in between the branch opponents. Dallas still owns the Giants. It has gained 14 of recent 15 matchups, as well as Prescott has defeated them thirteen straight times. Nyc still isn't quite certainly there as yet, however this proved it goes to minimum improving.QB breakdown: Jones was actually reliable, finishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% conclusion) for 281 gardens along with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the final secs. However the Giants were actually kept out of completion zone, and also Jones was short on a lot of his deep tosses. It is actually particularly noteworthy considering this was actually a complication early in training school. There was a great deal of good for Jones, however it was actually almost adequate. Jones is plainly playing far better considering that the opener. Possessing rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving behind the game in the fourth quarter with a blast, Nabers kept contributing to his documents. He ended up being the 1st gamer in NFL history with at the very least 25 functions as well as three touchdowns in his very first 4 occupation video games when he saw a 3-yard elapsed early in the 2nd fourth. He currently possesses 35 events for 386 lawns and also three goals in four games.Troubling pattern: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the nearest defender on four goal passes already this season, according to NFL Next Generation Stats. Financial institutions was defeated once more on Thursday night, this time by Sheep for a 55-yard score in the 2nd one-fourth. The Giants were wishing Banks would certainly step into the CB1 task this time. Rather, it has actually been actually a struggle thus far.Biggest opening in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't capable to get anything entering the running activity versus the organization's worst operate self defense. Dallas came into the contest allowing 185.7 yards on the ground every game. The Giants came into the activity believing they would certainly have results however had only 29 gardens rushing in the very first one-half-- and they finished with 26 yards on 24 holds.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
