Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday evening's video game, the New york city Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed final spot in the NFC East at 1-2, a game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored two first-half touchdowns and restricted the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was actually a defensive war the rest of the way, as neither group racked up a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas picked up its second win of the period with a final rating of 20-15, however celebrity side rusher Micah Parsons was taken off the industry behind time in the activity with a left ankle/foot trauma. He mentioned thereafter that X-rays were adverse as well as he will definitely receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie recipient Malik Nabers additionally left the video game in the 4th one-fourth after enduring a concussion.Here are the absolute most essential points to understand coming from Thursday night for each staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did certainly not talk to the media prior to Thursday's video game against the Giants. He said he would talk "blog post succeed." The Cowboys obtained the gain, however it wasn't a creative beauty. Having said that, after Dallas was embarrassed in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was actually obtaining a gain on a short week.Being 2-2 is a lot far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it would certainly have marked the first time they lost three September games considering that 2001, and also they will possess been in last location in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, particularly in the first fifty percent along with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 lawns) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The self defense ultimately ceased the operate and also stiffened at a loss zone, keeping the Giants to five industry goals.Prescott has currently won 13 directly against the Giants. His final loss can be found in 2016 as a novice. He connected the second-longest win streak through a quarterback versus a solitary challenger since quarterback statistics were actually initial tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo grass Bills 13 straight times coming from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful defeated the Rams thirteen directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will obtain an odds at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Sheep possesses some side project concerns, the most effective seems to follow away from him. During in 2014's reduction at San Francisco, Lamb always kept to themself on the subsidiary and then followed along with six activities along with at the very least 11 catches and 7 games along with much more than one hundred backyards. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Lamb had an altercation with Prescott as well as performed certainly not speak with the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Sheep was regretful and claimed he would certainly be much better. In the 1st half alone, he possessed six catches for 94 backyards (both time highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He has three field goals of 60 gardens in his job, including a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth versus the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL document secured by Brett Maher, who helped make 4 along with the Cowboys over two various jobs. Aubrey made a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 coming from 60 yards this period. The remainder of the organization is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys are going to possess 10 times to get ready for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time will definitely aid since there is actually still a lot that needs to have to become dealt with, despite the succeed. Over the last 3 activities, resisting quarterbacks have actually missed on merely 19 successfully pases. Versus the Saints and Ravens, that was actually reasonable because both teams were therefore leading on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had way too much time to toss for much of the activity after recently being tortured due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in eight activities just before Thursday. Oh, as well as they were penalized 9 attend the 1st one-half 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 failed to come away along with a win. After final season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their pair of appointments with the Cowboys, this needs to be actually deemed progression, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical triumphes in the NFL, however this was the third straight action in the right instructions for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The gap, a minimum of to some extent, has narrowed between the branch rivals. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has actually won 14 of the past 15 competitions, and also Prescott has actually beaten them thirteen straight opportunities. Nyc still isn't rather certainly there as yet, but this verified it's at the very least improving.QB failure: Jones was actually effective, accomplishing 29 of 40 passes (73% finalization) for 281 yards with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the final secs. However the Giants were kept out of the end region, as well as Jones was short on a lot of his deep throws. It is actually specifically noteworthy considering this was a trouble early in training school. There was actually a ton of great for Jones, yet it was almost adequate. Jones is precisely playing far better due to the fact that the opener. Having novice wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 backyards) absolutely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving behind the game in the fourth one-fourth with a concussion, Nabers maintained contributing to his reports. He became the initial gamer in NFL past history with a minimum of 25 celebrations and three goals in his first four occupation games when he got a 3-yard pass early in the 2nd quarter. He now has 35 functions for 386 gardens and also 3 touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling trend: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the nearest defender on four goal passes actually this season, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. Banks was beat once more on Thursday evening, this time by Sheep for a 55-yard credit rating in the second fourth. The Giants were actually really hoping Banks would enter the CB1 task this period. Rather, it has been a struggle therefore far.Biggest hole in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to receive everything entering the running game versus the league's worst operate protection. Dallas entered into the contest making it possible for 185.7 yards on the ground per video game. The Giants entered the activity believing they would possess excellence however possessed simply 29 lawns rushing in the very first fifty percent-- and also they completed with 26 lawns on 24 holds.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
