Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday evening's game, the Nyc Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed final area in the NFC East at 1-2, a game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys scored pair of first-half touchdowns and confined the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a protective battle the rest of the way, as neither crew scored a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas got its 2nd win of the season along with a last credit rating of 20-15, yet celebrity edge rush Micah Parsons was actually brought off the field behind time in the video game along with a left side ankle/foot trauma. He stated afterward that X-rays were actually damaging as well as he is going to receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie recipient Malik Nabers also went out the activity in the fourth one-fourth after experiencing a concussion.Here are the most significant factors to recognize from Thursday night for each staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed certainly not speak to the media prior to Thursday's activity versus the Giants. He stated he will talk "blog post win." The Cowboys got the win, yet it wasn't an artistic appeal. However, after Dallas was actually humiliated in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only factor that mattered was actually obtaining a gain on a short week.Being 2-2 is actually a lot far better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys lost, it will possess noted the first time they shed three September activities considering that 2001, and also they would certainly have resided in final spot in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, especially in the first one-half with goal exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 gardens) and Rico Dowdle (15 gardens). The protection lastly ceased the operate as well as tensed in the red region, holding the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has right now gained thirteen right against the Giants. His final loss was available in 2016 as a newbie. He tied the second-longest gain touch by a quarterback against a singular enemy due to the fact that quarterback statistics were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Expenses 13 straight opportunities coming from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful trumped the Rams thirteen straight from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will certainly get an odds at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Sheep has some subsidiary problems, the very best seems to be to follow out of him. In the course of last year's loss at San Francisco, Sheep maintained to themself on the side project and then followed with six games with at least 11 catches and 7 activities along with greater than 100 lawns. In recently's reduction to New Orleans, Sheep possessed an altercation along with Prescott and carried out certainly not speak with the media after the game. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually apologetic as well as said he would certainly be actually a lot better. In the very first one-half alone, he possessed six catches for 94 backyards (both period highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 games for the Cowboys. He has three basket of 60 lawns in his profession, featuring a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL file kept by Brett Maher, who created 4 along with the Cowboys over two various jobs. Aubrey created a 60-yarder recently against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 lawns this period. The rest of the league is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys are going to have 10 times to prepare yourself for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will help because there is actually still a great deal that needs to have to be dealt with, despite the win. Before 3 games, opposing quarterbacks have overlooked on only 19 elapseds. Versus the Saints as well as Ravens, that was actually reasonable since each groups were actually so leading on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed excessive time to throw for a lot of the video game after earlier being actually tormented due to the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend 8 video games just before Thursday. Oh, and they were punished 9 times in the 1st fifty percent 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, but they still really did not happen away with a win. After last season, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their 2 conferences along with the Cowboys, this must be viewed as development, right?Sure, there are no ethical triumphes in the NFL, yet this was the third organized action in the right direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The gap, at least to some degree, has actually narrowed between the department rivals. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually succeeded 14 of the past 15 competitions, and also Prescott has trumped all of them thirteen straight times. Nyc still isn't pretty there as yet, but this showed it goes to the very least improving.QB failure: Jones was actually dependable, finishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% fulfillment) for 281 gardens along with an interception on a Hail Mary in the last seconds. Yet the Giants were shut out of the end zone, and also Jones needed on many of his centered tosses. It's specifically noteworthy considering this was actually a complication early in training school. There was a ton of good for Jones, but it was almost adequate. Jones is accurately participating in better because the opener. Possessing newbie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 lawns) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the video game in the 4th quarter along with a trauma, Nabers kept contributing to his reports. He ended up being the very first gamer in NFL background with at the very least 25 celebrations as well as 3 goals in his first four job video games when he saw a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second fourth. He now possesses 35 celebrations for 386 gardens as well as 3 goals in four games.Troubling trend: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the closest guardian on 4 goal passes presently this period, depending on to NFL Next Gen Statistics. Banks was actually beat once again on Thursday night, this time around through Sheep for a 55-yard credit rating in the second one-fourth. The Giants were actually wishing Financial institutions would enter the CB1 duty this period. As an alternative, it has been actually a battle so far.Biggest gap in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't able to get everything using the running video game versus the game's worst run self defense. Dallas entered into the contest allowing 185.7 gardens on the ground every video game. The Giants came into the activity presuming they would possess success but had simply 29 yards entering the very first fifty percent-- as well as they finished with 26 lawns on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
