Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering into Thursday evening's game, the The big apple Giants and Dallas Cowboys shared final area in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys scored pair of first-half touchdowns as well as restricted the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a defensive battle the rest of the means, as neither staff scored a touchdown in the second half.Dallas picked up its own second gain of the period with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, yet celebrity side rusher Micah Parsons was actually ferried off the industry behind time in the video game with a nigh side ankle/foot trauma. He pointed out later that X-rays were actually damaging as well as he is going to obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie receiver Malik Nabers also exited the video game in the fourth quarter after experiencing a concussion.Here are one of the most crucial things to recognize from Thursday evening for both staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did not talk with the media prior to Thursday's activity against the Giants. He mentioned he would communicate "article win." The Cowboys obtained the gain, but it had not been a creative elegance. Nevertheless, after Dallas was humiliated in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was acquiring a succeed on a quick week.Being 2-2 is actually a great deal far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it will have denoted the very first time they lost three September video games due to the fact that 2001, and also they would certainly have remained in final place in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, especially in the 1st fifty percent along with goal passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 yards) and Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The defense eventually ceased the run and also tensed in the hole area, keeping the Giants to five industry goals.Prescott has actually currently won thirteen straight versus the Giants. His last reduction was available in 2016 as a rookie. He tied the second-longest gain streak by a quarterback versus a single opponent given that quarterback stats were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Costs 13 direct times from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Young beat the Rams 13 directly coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will certainly get a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Lamb has some subsidiary problems, the very best seems ahead out of him. During in 2013's loss at San Francisco, Lamb maintained to himself on the sideline and then adhered to along with 6 games along with at the very least 11 catches and 7 games along with much more than 100 gardens. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Lamb possessed an altercation with Prescott as well as did certainly not talk with the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Sheep was regretful and mentioned he will be actually much better. In the first half alone, he had six catches for 94 gardens (both time highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He has three field goals of 60 yards in his job, consisting of a 60-yarder in the third fourth versus the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file held by Brett Maher, that made four along with the Cowboys over 2 different assignments. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder recently against the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 coming from 60 backyards this time. The remainder of the league is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys will definitely have 10 days to get ready for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time is going to aid given that there is actually still a great deal that needs to become fixed, despite the succeed. Previously three video games, resisting quarterbacks have actually overlooked on merely 19 elapseds. Versus the Saints and also Ravens, that was easy to understand given that both crews were actually therefore dominant on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had way too much opportunity to throw for much of the activity after recently being actually agonized by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend 8 games just before Thursday. Oh, and they were imposed penalty on nine attend the very first one-half 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 against the Cowboys, however they still failed to happen away with a gain. After last period, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their two appointments along with the Cowboys, this needs to be actually considered as development, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical triumphes in the NFL, however this was the 3rd organized action in the correct path for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The void, at least to some extent, has limited between the department opponents. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually succeeded 14 of the past 15 matchups, as well as Prescott has actually defeated them thirteen direct opportunities. The big apple still isn't fairly certainly there as yet, however this confirmed it's at minimum improving.QB break down: Jones was effective, finishing 29 of 40 passes (73% fulfillment) for 281 lawns along with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the ultimate few seconds. But the Giants were actually shut out of the end area, and also Jones was short on the majority of his centered tosses. It is actually especially notable considering this was a problem early in training camp. There was a bunch of helpful for Jones, however it was actually almost sufficient. Jones is precisely playing far better given that the opener. Having newbie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving behind the video game in the 4th one-fourth along with a trauma, Nabers maintained adding to his documents. He ended up being the first gamer in NFL past with at the very least 25 functions and also three goals in his first 4 career activities when he saw a 3-yard pass early in the 2nd fourth. He currently possesses 35 functions for 386 backyards and also 3 touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling pattern: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the nearby protector on four touchdown passes actually this time, depending on to NFL Next Generation Stats. Financial institutions was actually trumped once again on Thursday evening, this moment through Sheep for a 55-yard score in the second fourth. The Giants were actually wishing Banking companies would enter the CB1 job this time. Instead, it has actually been a struggle thus far.Biggest gap in the strategy: The Giants weren't capable to obtain anything entering the running video game against the game's worst operate protection. Dallas came into the contest making it possible for 185.7 gardens on the ground per activity. The Giants entered into the activity presuming they would have effectiveness however possessed just 29 backyards entering the very first half-- and also they completed with 26 lawns on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
