Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering into Thursday night's game, the The big apple Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys shared final location in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys scored two first-half goals and restricted the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was a defensive fight the remainder of the means, as neither group scored a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas picked up its 2nd win of the time with a final rating of 20-15, yet celebrity side rush Micah Parsons was actually ferried off the industry late in the activity along with a left ankle/foot injury. He mentioned subsequently that X-rays were damaging and he will obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie receiver Malik Nabers also went out the activity in the fourth quarter after suffering a concussion.Here are the absolute most significant points to understand from Thursday night for each staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did not contact the media prior to Thursday's game against the Giants. He claimed he would talk "blog post succeed." The Cowboys obtained the gain, yet it had not been a creative appeal. Nevertheless, after Dallas was actually humiliated in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was obtaining a win on a quick week.Being 2-2 is a lot far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it would certainly have denoted the very first time they dropped three September activities because 2001, and they would possess remained in last area in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, specifically in the 1st one-half with goal passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 backyards) and Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The protection lastly quit the operate and also stiffened at a loss zone, keeping the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has now gained thirteen right versus the Giants. His last loss can be found in 2016 as a newbie. He connected the second-longest win touch by a quarterback against a solitary enemy given that quarterback stats were 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Expenses 13 straight times coming from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Youthful trumped the Rams thirteen right from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will get an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Sheep possesses some sideline issues, the very best appears ahead away from him. During the course of last year's loss at San Francisco, Lamb maintained to himself on the sideline and then adhered to along with 6 games with at least 11 catches as well as 7 video games along with greater than 100 lawns. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Sheep possessed a squabble along with Prescott and also performed certainly not talk with the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Sheep was apologetic and also said he will be much better. In the very first fifty percent alone, he had six catches for 94 yards (both period highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 games for the Cowboys. He has three basket of 60 yards in his career, including a 60-yarder in the third fourth against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL document secured by Brett Maher, that helped make 4 with the Cowboys over pair of different jobs. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 gardens this time. The rest of the league is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will certainly have 10 days to get ready for the currently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time is going to assist due to the fact that there is still a lot that needs to have to be improved, even with the win. In the past 3 games, resisting quarterbacks have actually missed on simply 19 successfully pases. Against the Saints and Ravens, that was actually understandable due to the fact that each teams were actually so dominant on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had excessive opportunity to toss for a lot of the game after earlier being actually agonized by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 times in 8 games just before Thursday. Oh, and also they were actually penalized 9 attend 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 versus the Cowboys, however they still really did not happen away with a succeed. After last season, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their pair of appointments along with the Cowboys, this has to be actually viewed as development, right?Sure, there are actually no moral triumphes in the NFL, but this was the third straight come in the best instructions for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The gap, at least to some extent, has actually limited in between the department competitors. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has actually succeeded 14 of the past 15 matches, as well as Prescott has defeated them 13 straight opportunities. The big apple still isn't very there as yet, however this proved it goes to the very least improving.QB breakdown: Jones was effective, accomplishing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% finalization) for 281 backyards along with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the ultimate secs. However the Giants were shut out of the end area, as well as Jones needed on many of his deep tosses. It is actually especially noteworthy considering this was actually a complication early in training school. There was a ton of great for Jones, but it was almost adequate. Jones is plainly participating in much better because the opener. Possessing novice wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the game in the 4th quarter with a blast, Nabers maintained adding to his records. He ended up being the first gamer in NFL past history along with a minimum of 25 celebrations and 3 touchdowns in his initial 4 occupation games when he got a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second fourth. He now possesses 35 functions for 386 lawns as well as 3 goals in four games.Troubling pattern: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the nearest protector on four touchdown passes already this time, according to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Financial institutions was actually beat once more on Thursday evening, this time around by Lamb for a 55-yard rating in the 2nd fourth. The Giants were actually hoping Banks will step into the CB1 job this period. Rather, it has actually been a struggle therefore far.Biggest hole in the strategy: The Giants weren't capable to get anything going in the managing video game against the league's worst operate protection. Dallas entered into the competition enabling 185.7 backyards on the ground per activity. The Giants entered the video game assuming they will have effectiveness but had just 29 yards rushing in the very first fifty percent-- and they finished with 26 gardens on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
