Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering into Thursday evening's activity, the New york city Giants and also Dallas Cowboys discussed final spot in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored 2 first-half touchdowns as well as confined the Giants to 3 basket to lead 14-9 at the half. It was a protective war the remainder of the means, as neither group racked up a touchdown in the second half.Dallas got its own second succeed of the time with an ultimate rating of 20-15, but celebrity side rush Micah Parsons was actually brought off the field behind time in the activity with a left side ankle/foot injury. He said subsequently that X-rays were actually unfavorable as well as he is going to acquire an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie recipient Malik Nabers likewise left the activity in the fourth quarter after going through a concussion.Here are actually the absolute most vital things to understand from Thursday evening for both crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed not speak to the media prior to Thursday's video game against the Giants. He stated he will communicate "post win." The Cowboys received the win, however it wasn't a creative appeal. Nonetheless, after Dallas was actually humiliated in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was receiving a gain on a short week.Being 2-2 is actually a lot far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it would certainly possess denoted the very first time they dropped three September games given that 2001, as well as they will possess resided in final area in the NFC East.Prescott was actually sharp, especially in the 1st half along with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 yards) and Rico Dowdle (15 gardens). The defense finally stopped the run and also stiffened at a loss area, holding the Giants to 5 industry goals.Prescott has currently won 13 directly against the Giants. His final reduction came in 2016 as a rookie. He linked the second-longest gain streak by a quarterback versus a single opponent because quarterback statistics were initial tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo grass Costs thirteen straight opportunities coming from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Youthful beat the Rams 13 right from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely get an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Sheep has some sideline concerns, the most ideal appears to come out of him. Throughout in 2013's reduction at San Francisco, Lamb kept to themself on the subsidiary and then followed with six games with at least 11 catches as well as 7 activities with greater than one hundred lawns. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb had an altercation with Prescott and carried out not speak to the media after the game. On Tuesday, Lamb was regretful as well as stated he will be a lot better. In the very first half alone, he possessed six catches for 94 backyards (both period highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses three basket of 60 yards in his occupation, including a 60-yarder in the third fourth versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL document secured by Brett Maher, that produced 4 with the Cowboys over 2 different assignments. Aubrey made a 60-yarder recently against the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 gardens this season. The rest of the league is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will definitely possess 10 days to prepare for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will help given that there is actually still a lot that needs to be repaired, despite having the win. Over the last 3 activities, resisting quarterbacks have skipped on just 19 elapseds. Versus the Saints and also Ravens, that was actually logical due to the fact that each crews were so prevalent on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed a lot of time to toss for much of the activity after formerly being tormented by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend 8 activities just before Thursday. Oh, and they were actually punished 9 times in the 1st 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 versus the Cowboys, however they still didn't come away along with a gain. After final time, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two appointments along with the Cowboys, this needs to be actually deemed improvement, right?Sure, there are actually no moral victories in the NFL, however this was actually the third organized intervene the appropriate instructions for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The space, a minimum of to some extent, has limited between the branch opponents. Dallas still owns the Giants. It has succeeded 14 of the past 15 matches, and Prescott has actually defeated all of them thirteen straight times. Nyc still isn't fairly certainly there as yet, however this showed it goes to minimum improving.QB malfunction: Jones was actually effective, finishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% completion) for 281 gardens with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the last secs. However the Giants were actually stayed out of the end area, and also Jones needed on a lot of his centered tosses. It's specifically significant considering this was actually a complication early in training camp. There was actually a ton of great for Jones, yet it was not quite sufficient. Jones is actually plainly participating in better due to the fact that the opener. Having rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving behind the video game in the 4th quarter along with a blast, Nabers maintained contributing to his reports. He ended up being the first gamer in NFL record with at the very least 25 celebrations and also three touchdowns in his very first 4 job activities when he caught a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second fourth. He currently has 35 functions for 386 lawns and also 3 touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling style: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the closest defender on 4 touchdown passes actually this period, according to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Banking companies was trumped once more on Thursday evening, this time through Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the second fourth. The Giants were hoping Financial institutions would enter the CB1 task this time. As an alternative, it has been a problem therefore far.Biggest opening in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't capable to get anything going in the managing game versus the league's worst operate protection. Dallas entered into the contest enabling 185.7 yards on the ground per game. The Giants entered into the game thinking they would certainly have results but had just 29 lawns entering the first fifty percent-- and they completed with 26 lawns on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
