Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday night's activity, the New York Giants and also Dallas Cowboys shared last location in the NFC East at 1-2, a game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up pair of first-half goals and also limited the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the half. It was a protective fight the rest of the way, as neither group scored a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas picked up its 2nd succeed of the period along with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, but celebrity edge rush Micah Parsons was carted off the area behind time in the video game with a left ankle/foot injury. He said subsequently that X-rays were bad as well as he will acquire an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers additionally exited the activity in the fourth quarter after enduring a concussion.Here are one of the most necessary factors to recognize coming from Thursday evening for each teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out not speak with the media prior to Thursday's video game against the Giants. He stated he would communicate "article gain." The Cowboys obtained the succeed, however it had not been a creative appeal. However, after Dallas was actually embarrassed in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was getting a win on a short week.Being 2-2 is a great deal better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it would certainly possess marked the first time they lost 3 September video games because 2001, and also they will have remained in final place in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, especially in the first half along with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 yards) and Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The defense eventually ceased the operate and also stiffened in the red zone, storing the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has actually now won thirteen directly versus the Giants. His last loss came in 2016 as a rookie. He connected the second-longest win streak through a quarterback against a solitary rival considering that quarterback statistics were actually 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo Bills 13 straight opportunities from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Young defeated the Rams 13 right coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to acquire an odds at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Lamb possesses some sideline concerns, the most ideal seems to find away from him. Throughout in 2014's loss at San Francisco, Lamb always kept to themself on the side project and then adhered to along with six video games with at least 11 catches as well as seven activities with greater than 100 yards. In recently's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb had an altercation with Prescott as well as performed certainly not contact the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Sheep was apologetic and mentioned he would certainly be actually much better. In the 1st half alone, he had 6 catches for 94 gardens (both season highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses three basket of 60 gardens in his career, including a 60-yarder in the 3rd fourth versus the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL record held through Brett Maher, that produced four with the Cowboys over 2 various stints. Aubrey made a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 backyards this period. The rest of the league is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys will definitely possess 10 times to get ready for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The time is going to help since there is actually still a great deal that needs to be remedied, despite the succeed. Previously three video games, resisting quarterbacks have skipped on just 19 passes. Versus the Saints as well as Ravens, that was easy to understand given that each groups were thus dominant on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed too much opportunity to toss for much of the video game after recently being tormented by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in 8 video games prior to Thursday. Oh, as well as they were punished 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 maintained it close versus the Cowboys, however they still failed to come away with a win. After final time, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their 2 conferences along with the Cowboys, this has to be actually considered as progress, right?Sure, there are no ethical triumphes in the NFL, however this was actually the 3rd straight intervene the ideal direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, at the very least relatively, has actually narrowed in between the branch rivals. Dallas still has the Giants. It has won 14 of the past 15 competitions, and Prescott has actually beaten them thirteen straight times. New york city still isn't rather certainly there as yet, but this proved it's at minimum improving.QB failure: Jones was actually dependable, finishing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% fulfillment) for 281 yards along with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the last seconds. However the Giants were kept out of the end region, and also Jones was short on a lot of his deep tosses. It's specifically distinctive considering this was actually a concern early in training camp. There was actually a considerable amount of good for Jones, but it was actually not quite adequate. Jones is plainly participating in far better because the opener. Possessing newbie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving behind the activity in the 4th quarter along with a trauma, Nabers maintained adding to his reports. He became the first gamer in NFL past with a minimum of 25 functions and also 3 touchdowns in his first four occupation activities when he got a 3-yard successfully pass early in the 2nd one-fourth. He right now possesses 35 receptions for 386 backyards and three touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling style: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the closest protector on four goal passes currently this time, according to NFL Next Generation Stats. Financial institutions was trumped once again on Thursday night, this moment through Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the second fourth. The Giants were actually really hoping Financial institutions would certainly step into the CB1 role this time. Instead, it has been a battle so far.Biggest gap in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't capable to obtain just about anything using the running video game versus the organization's worst run defense. Dallas came into the contest making it possible for 185.7 lawns on the ground per video game. The Giants came into the game assuming they will have effectiveness however had only 29 gardens entering the 1st half-- and also they completed with 26 backyards on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
