Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday night's video game, the The big apple Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed last location in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored pair of first-half touchdowns as well as confined the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a protective war the remainder of the way, as neither group scored a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas picked up its own second win of the period along with an ultimate rating of 20-15, but star edge rush Micah Parsons was actually ferried off the industry late in the game along with a nigh side ankle/foot accident. He stated subsequently that X-rays were actually adverse and he is going to acquire an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice recipient Malik Nabers likewise left the game in the 4th quarter after experiencing a concussion.Here are the best vital points to recognize from Thursday evening for both staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did certainly not contact the media just before Thursday's video game against the Giants. He mentioned he would speak "post win." The Cowboys got the gain, however it had not been a creative elegance. However, after Dallas was actually humiliated in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually obtaining a succeed on a short week.Being 2-2 is a great deal far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys lost, it will have marked the very first time they shed three September games because 2001, and they would certainly have resided in last place in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, specifically in the 1st half along with goal passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 backyards) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The defense finally quit the operate and stiffened at a loss area, keeping the Giants to five field goals.Prescott has now won 13 right versus the Giants. His final loss can be found in 2016 as a novice. He linked the second-longest gain streak by a quarterback versus a solitary opponent because quarterback stats were actually very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo Bills thirteen direct times from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Youthful beat the Rams thirteen directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will acquire a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Lamb has some sideline issues, the very best seems to be to follow out of him. During the course of in 2015's loss at San Francisco, Lamb kept to themself on the side project and then adhered to with six activities with at the very least 11 catches and seven games along with more than one hundred backyards. In recently's reduction to New Orleans, Sheep possessed an altercation along with Prescott and did not talk to the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Sheep was regretful as well as claimed he would certainly be a lot better. In the initial half alone, he had 6 catches for 94 yards (both season highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses three field goals of 60 backyards in his career, consisting of a 60-yarder in the third fourth against the Giants. That's one off the NFL record held through Brett Maher, who produced 4 along with the Cowboys over two various jobs. Aubrey created a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 yards this season. The rest of the organization is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will certainly have 10 days to prepare yourself for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time is going to help given that there is actually still a lot that requires to be fixed, even with the gain. In the past three video games, opposing quarterbacks have actually overlooked on only 19 elapseds. Against the Saints as well as Ravens, that was actually reasonable given that each staffs were thus leading on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed way too much opportunity to toss for much of the activity after earlier being tormented due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend 8 activities prior to Thursday. Oh, and they were actually imposed penalty on nine times in the first one-half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext video 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 didn't come away along with a win. After last season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their two meetings along with the Cowboys, this has to be viewed as development, right?Sure, there are actually no moral success in the NFL, yet this was actually the third organized action in the ideal instructions for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, a minimum of to some degree, has actually tightened in between the division rivals. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has gained 14 of the past 15 competitions, and Prescott has actually beaten them 13 straight opportunities. New York still isn't rather there certainly yet, however this confirmed it's at least improving.QB malfunction: Jones was actually reliable, completing 29 of 40 passes (73% conclusion) for 281 backyards along with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the final secs. Yet the Giants were actually kept out of the end region, and also Jones was short on the majority of his centered throws. It is actually particularly remarkable considering this was a trouble early in training camp. There was actually a bunch of helpful for Jones, yet it was not quite adequate. Jones is accurately playing better considering that the opener. Having novice pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) undoubtedly helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the video game in the 4th one-fourth along with a concussion, Nabers kept adding to his reports. He came to be the very first player in NFL record along with a minimum of 25 events as well as 3 goals in his first 4 occupation activities when he got a 3-yard pass early in the second fourth. He now has 35 events for 386 yards as well as three goals in 4 games.Troubling style: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the nearest protector on 4 touchdown passes presently this period, according to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Banking companies was trumped once again on Thursday evening, this time around through Lamb for a 55-yard rating in the 2nd fourth. The Giants were really hoping Financial institutions will step into the CB1 function this time. Rather, it has been actually a struggle so far.Biggest opening in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't capable to obtain just about anything going in the operating activity versus the league's worst run defense. Dallas entered into the competition allowing 185.7 yards on the ground every game. The Giants came into the game believing they would possess success however possessed just 29 yards rushing in the very first one-half-- and also they finished with 26 backyards on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
