Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Going into Thursday night's activity, the Nyc Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed final place in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys scored 2 first-half touchdowns and also confined the Giants to 3 basket to lead 14-9 at the half. It was actually a defensive fight the rest of the means, as neither team racked up a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its own second gain of the time with an ultimate rating of 20-15, but superstar side rusher Micah Parsons was taken off the industry late in the activity with a left side ankle/foot personal injury. He pointed out later that X-rays were bad as well as he is going to receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers additionally went out the video game in the 4th one-fourth after experiencing a concussion.Here are the best significant traits to recognize coming from Thursday night for both groups: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed not speak to the media prior to Thursday's game versus the Giants. He claimed he will communicate "message succeed." The Cowboys obtained the gain, but it had not been an imaginative beauty. Having said that, after Dallas was embarrassed in next home losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was getting a win on a quick week.Being 2-2 is actually a lot far better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys shed, it would certainly possess denoted the very first time they shed three September games due to the fact that 2001, and also they would certainly have resided in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, specifically in the initial one-half along with touchdown passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 yards) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The self defense lastly quit the operate and tensed in the hole area, storing the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has currently gained thirteen right versus the Giants. His final reduction came in 2016 as a rookie. He connected the second-longest win touch through a quarterback versus a solitary enemy because quarterback statistics were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo grass Costs thirteen straight opportunities from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Youthful beat the Rams 13 straight coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely receive an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Sheep has some subsidiary issues, the best appears to come away from him. Throughout in 2014's loss at San Francisco, Lamb kept to themself on the side project and then observed along with 6 video games along with at least 11 catches and also seven video games with greater than one hundred gardens. In recently's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb possessed a squabble along with Prescott as well as carried out certainly not speak with the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually regretful and also claimed he would be a lot better. In the very first one-half alone, he possessed six catches for 94 yards (both time highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He has three basket of 60 yards in his occupation, consisting of a 60-yarder in the third fourth against the Giants. That's one off the NFL report secured by Brett Maher, that created four along with the Cowboys over pair of different assignments. Aubrey created a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 gardens this period. The rest of the game is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys will certainly have 10 days to prepare for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time will help considering that there is still a great deal that needs to be corrected, despite having the succeed. Before 3 activities, resisting quarterbacks have actually missed on merely 19 successfully pases. Versus the Saints as well as Ravens, that was logical given that both staffs were actually so dominant on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had excessive time to toss for a lot of the activity after formerly being tortured due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend 8 games before Thursday. Oh, and they were actually penalized nine times in the 1st one-half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext activity: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants maintained it close against the Cowboys, but they still failed to happen away along with a gain. After last time, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two conferences with the Cowboys, this has to be actually deemed improvement, right?Sure, there are no moral victories in the NFL, but this was actually the third straight action in the best direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, at the very least relatively, has limited between the branch rivals. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually won 14 of the past 15 competitions, and Prescott has trumped them 13 straight opportunities. New york city still isn't fairly there certainly as yet, but this verified it's at least improving.QB malfunction: Jones was actually effective, finishing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% conclusion) for 281 backyards along with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the ultimate secs. However the Giants were stayed out of completion region, and also Jones needed on many of his centered throws. It's especially distinctive considering this was actually an issue early in training camp. There was actually a bunch of good for Jones, yet it was almost sufficient. Jones is accurately playing much better considering that the opener. Having rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the game in the fourth quarter along with a trauma, Nabers always kept contributing to his documents. He ended up being the first player in NFL history with at least 25 celebrations as well as 3 touchdowns in his initial four job games when he saw a 3-yard elapsed early in the 2nd one-fourth. He now has 35 receptions for 386 gardens as well as 3 goals in 4 games.Troubling fad: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been the nearest protector on four goal passes presently this period, according to NFL Next Generation Stats. Banks was defeated once more on Thursday evening, this time by Lamb for a 55-yard credit rating in the 2nd quarter. The Giants were actually really hoping Financial institutions will enter the CB1 duty this season. Instead, it has actually been a struggle thus far.Biggest hole in the game plan: The Giants weren't capable to acquire everything entering the running video game against the organization's worst run self defense. Dallas entered the competition permitting 185.7 backyards on the ground per video game. The Giants came into the video game believing they would certainly have effectiveness yet had merely 29 yards rushing in the initial fifty percent-- as well as they completed with 26 yards on 24 holds.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
