Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering into Thursday night's activity, the Nyc Giants and also Dallas Cowboys shared final area in the NFC East at 1-2, a game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half goals and restricted the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was a defensive battle the rest of the method, as neither crew scored a goal in the second half.Dallas picked up its 2nd win of the season with a final credit rating of 20-15, however superstar side rush Micah Parsons was brought off the area behind time in the activity along with a left ankle/foot trauma. He pointed out subsequently that X-rays were unfavorable and also he will definitely obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie receiver Malik Nabers also went out the game in the fourth quarter after going through a concussion.Here are the most significant things to recognize from Thursday evening for each groups: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out not talk with the media prior to Thursday's game versus the Giants. He said he would certainly talk "message succeed." The Cowboys obtained the gain, but it had not been an artistic appeal. However, after Dallas was actually embarrassed in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually receiving a win on a quick week.Being 2-2 is a great deal far better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys shed, it will have noted the very first time they lost three September games considering that 2001, and they would possess been in last location in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, particularly in the first one-half along with touchdown passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 gardens) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The defense finally ceased the operate as well as tensed in the hole area, keeping the Giants to 5 field goals.Prescott has now won 13 straight against the Giants. His last reduction can be found in 2016 as a newbie. He tied the second-longest win streak through a quarterback versus a solitary enemy due to the fact that quarterback stats were initial tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Bills thirteen straight opportunities from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful defeated the Rams thirteen right from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will obtain a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Sheep possesses some subsidiary concerns, the most effective seems ahead out of him. Throughout last year's reduction at San Francisco, Sheep always kept to himself on the side project and then followed along with 6 games along with at the very least 11 catches and seven video games along with more than 100 lawns. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Sheep possessed an altercation along with Prescott and performed certainly not talk to the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Lamb was regretful as well as claimed he would certainly be actually a lot better. In the very first half alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 backyards (both time highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually played 21 ready the Cowboys. He has 3 basket of 60 yards in his occupation, consisting of a 60-yarder in the 3rd fourth against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL document kept through Brett Maher, who created four along with the Cowboys over 2 various jobs. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 gardens this period. The remainder of the league is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will definitely have 10 days to prepare for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will definitely assist given that there is actually still a whole lot that needs to become remedied, even with the win. Over the last three video games, resisting quarterbacks have actually overlooked on only 19 elapseds. Against the Saints as well as Ravens, that was easy to understand due to the fact that both groups were actually therefore prevalent on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed way too much time to throw for a lot of the activity after recently being agonized due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in eight games before Thursday. Oh, and also they were imposed penalty on 9 attend the first 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 against the Cowboys, yet they still failed to happen away with a win. After final period, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two appointments with the Cowboys, this needs to be deemed progression, right?Sure, there are actually no moral victories in the NFL, yet this was actually the 3rd organized step in the appropriate direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, a minimum of relatively, has actually limited in between the division rivals. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has actually gained 14 of recent 15 matches, as well as Prescott has actually defeated all of them 13 direct opportunities. Nyc still isn't quite there certainly as yet, however this verified it's at the very least improving.QB breakdown: Jones was effective, accomplishing 29 of 40 passes (73% fulfillment) for 281 backyards along with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the last few seconds. But the Giants were kept out of the end area, and also Jones was short on most of his centered tosses. It is actually especially remarkable considering this was actually a complication early in training camp. There was a great deal of suitable for Jones, yet it was actually not quite sufficient. Jones is actually clearly participating in much better because the opener. Having novice pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the activity in the fourth quarter with a trauma, Nabers maintained adding to his records. He came to be the 1st player in NFL record along with at least 25 celebrations and three touchdowns in his first 4 job video games when he found a 3-yard pass early in the second one-fourth. He right now possesses 35 receptions for 386 gardens and also 3 touchdowns in four games.Troubling style: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the nearest guardian on 4 goal passes currently this time, depending on to NFL Next Gen Stats. Banking companies was actually beat again on Thursday evening, this time around by Lamb for a 55-yard score in the second quarter. The Giants were actually really hoping Financial institutions would enter the CB1 part this time. Instead, it has actually been actually a problem thus far.Biggest hole in the game plan: The Giants weren't capable to receive everything going in the managing activity against the game's worst run self defense. Dallas entered into the competition permitting 185.7 gardens on the ground per game. The Giants entered into the video game thinking they would have excellence but had simply 29 backyards rushing in the very first half-- as well as they do with 26 backyards on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
