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 place in the NFC East at 1-2, a game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philly Eagles.The Cowboys racked up pair of first-half touchdowns and confined the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was a protective war the remainder of the method, as neither team racked up a touchdown in the second half.Dallas got its 2nd win of the time along with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, but star side rush Micah Parsons was actually hauled off the field behind time in the video game along with a nigh side ankle/foot personal injury. He claimed thereafter that X-rays were actually bad as well as he will definitely acquire an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice recipient Malik Nabers likewise went out the game in the 4th quarter after experiencing a concussion.Here are one of the most essential traits to understand from Thursday night for both groups: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed not talk to the media prior to Thursday's game versus the Giants. He claimed he will talk "blog post gain." The Cowboys obtained the succeed, however it wasn't an imaginative beauty. Having said that, after Dallas was actually embarrassed in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was acquiring a win on a quick week.Being 2-2 is actually so much better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys lost, it would have denoted the first time they lost three September games given that 2001, as well as they would possess remained in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, specifically in the first half with goal exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 lawns) and also Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The defense lastly quit the operate and stiffened in the red zone, keeping the Giants to five field goals.Prescott has currently won 13 straight versus the Giants. His last reduction came in 2016 as a rookie. He tied the second-longest win touch through a quarterback versus a singular enemy due to the fact that quarterback stats were actually first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo grass Costs 13 straight times coming from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Young defeated the Rams thirteen directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will obtain an odds at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Lamb possesses some subsidiary problems, the most effective seems to be to follow out of him. During in 2013's loss at San Francisco, Lamb kept to themself on the side project and then observed with 6 games with at least 11 catches and seven games along with greater than 100 lawns. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Lamb possessed an altercation with Prescott and also carried out not talk to the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Sheep was regretful and stated he would certainly be actually much better. In the very first one-half alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 lawns (both period highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He has 3 field goals of 60 lawns in his profession, including a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth against the Giants. That's one off the NFL record secured by Brett Maher, who produced 4 with the Cowboys over two different assignments. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 yards this period. The rest of the organization is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys are going to possess 10 days to get ready for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will assist because there is actually still a great deal that needs to be dealt with, despite the succeed. Previously three activities, resisting quarterbacks have actually overlooked on just 19 passes. Against the Saints as well as Ravens, that was actually reasonable considering that both teams were thus prevalent on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed a lot of opportunity to toss for much of the activity after earlier being tormented by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in eight activities prior to Thursday. Oh, and also they were punished nine times in the 1st 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, however they still really did not happen away along with a gain. After last season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 meetings along with the Cowboys, this needs to be viewed as progression, right?Sure, there are no ethical victories in the NFL, however this was actually the third straight action in the best direction for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The space, at least to some extent, has actually tightened in between the branch competitors. Dallas still has the Giants. It has succeeded 14 of recent 15 matchups, and Prescott has actually defeated all of them 13 straight times. New York still isn't pretty certainly there yet, however this confirmed it's at the very least improving.QB break down: Jones was actually reliable, completing 29 of 40 passes (73% fulfillment) for 281 yards along with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the final secs. Yet the Giants were stayed out of the end zone, and Jones was short on a lot of his centered tosses. It's particularly distinctive considering this was actually a complication early in training camp. There was a bunch of suitable for Jones, yet it was almost enough. Jones is actually plainly playing much better because the opener. Having newbie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving behind the video game in the fourth quarter along with a trauma, Nabers kept adding to his records. He ended up being the 1st player in NFL record along with at least 25 functions as well as 3 touchdowns in his first four occupation activities when he saw a 3-yard elapsed early in the 2nd fourth. He currently has 35 events for 386 yards and three touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling style: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the nearest protector on 4 goal passes already this period, depending on to NFL Next Gen Stats. Banking companies was beat again on Thursday night, this time around through Lamb for a 55-yard rating in the 2nd quarter. The Giants were actually wishing Financial institutions would certainly enter the CB1 function this period. As an alternative, it has actually been actually a problem thus far.Biggest hole in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't capable to obtain just about anything using the operating video game versus the organization's worst operate protection. Dallas entered the competition making it possible for 185.7 backyards on the ground per game. The Giants came into the game assuming they would certainly possess results yet had just 29 backyards entering the initial half-- and they completed with 26 lawns on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
