Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday night's activity, the New York Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys discussed final area in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up two first-half goals and also limited the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was a defensive struggle the rest of the method, as neither staff racked up a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its own 2nd win of the time with a final rating of 20-15, but superstar edge rush Micah Parsons was actually ferried off the area behind time in the activity with a left side ankle/foot trauma. He mentioned afterward that X-rays were damaging and he is going to receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie receiver Malik Nabers likewise left the activity in the 4th one-fourth after enduring a concussion.Here are one of the most significant points to recognize coming from Thursday evening for each teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did certainly not speak to the media before Thursday's activity versus the Giants. He said he will communicate "post gain." The Cowboys obtained the win, however it had not been an imaginative beauty. However, after Dallas was actually humiliated in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only trait that mattered was actually obtaining a win on a quick week.Being 2-2 is actually a lot better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys lost, it will have marked the first time they lost 3 September video games due to the fact that 2001, as well as they would certainly have resided in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, particularly in the very first fifty percent along with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 backyards) and also Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The protection lastly stopped the operate and stabilized in the hole region, holding the Giants to five field goals.Prescott has actually right now won 13 straight against the Giants. His last reduction can be found in 2016 as a novice. He connected the second-longest win touch through a quarterback against a single challenger given that quarterback statistics were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Costs thirteen direct times from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful trumped the Rams 13 directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will certainly get a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Sheep has some subsidiary problems, the greatest appears ahead out of him. During the course of in 2014's reduction at San Francisco, Lamb kept to themself on the sideline and after that adhered to with six activities with at least 11 catches and also 7 video games along with greater than 100 backyards. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Sheep possessed a squabble along with Prescott and performed certainly not speak to the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Lamb was apologetic as well as stated he will be much better. In the initial fifty percent alone, he had 6 catches for 94 backyards (both time highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 games for the Cowboys. He possesses 3 basket of 60 gardens in his career, including a 60-yarder in the 3rd one-fourth against the Giants. That's one off the NFL record kept through Brett Maher, that made 4 along with the Cowboys over pair of various stints. Aubrey made a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 gardens this season. The remainder of the game is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys will definitely possess 10 times to get ready for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time is going to help because there is still a great deal that needs to become dealt with, even with the win. Over the last 3 activities, opposing quarterbacks have actually missed on merely 19 elapseds. Versus the Saints and Ravens, that was logical because each crews were actually therefore leading on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed way too much opportunity to throw for a lot of the video game after recently being actually agonized due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in eight video games prior to Thursday. Oh, and also they were actually penalized 9 times in the initial fifty percent 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, however they still really did not happen away with a win. After final period, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their 2 meetings with the Cowboys, this needs to be considered as development, right?Sure, there are no moral triumphes in the NFL, but this was the 3rd organized step in the appropriate path for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The gap, at the very least relatively, has actually limited between the department opponents. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has actually gained 14 of the past 15 matches, and also Prescott has actually beaten them thirteen straight opportunities. New york city still isn't quite there certainly yet, but this showed it goes to the very least improving.QB break down: Jones was efficient, accomplishing 29 of 40 passes (73% completion) for 281 lawns with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the ultimate seconds. Yet the Giants were actually kept out of completion area, and Jones needed on most of his deep tosses. It's particularly distinctive considering this was a complication early in training camp. There was actually a ton of great for Jones, but it was not quite sufficient. Jones is clearly playing much better due to the fact that the opener. Having rookie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the activity in the fourth one-fourth with a blast, Nabers maintained adding to his records. He came to be the 1st gamer in NFL history with at least 25 functions and three touchdowns in his first 4 career activities when he saw a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second fourth. He currently possesses 35 celebrations for 386 lawns and also 3 touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling fad: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the closest protector on 4 goal passes actually this season, according to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Financial institutions was trumped again on Thursday evening, this time around by Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the second quarter. The Giants were actually hoping Banking companies would step into the CB1 role this time. Rather, it has actually been a struggle so far.Biggest hole in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to acquire everything using the running game against the game's worst run protection. Dallas entered into the competition making it possible for 185.7 backyards on the ground per video game. The Giants entered the activity believing they would have success but possessed just 29 lawns rushing in the first half-- and they completed with 26 yards on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
