Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday night's video game, the The big apple Giants and also Dallas Cowboys shared final place in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys scored pair of first-half goals and restricted the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a protective fight the remainder of the method, as neither team scored a touchdown in the second half.Dallas picked up its own 2nd win of the period with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, but star side rusher Micah Parsons was actually carted off the industry late in the game with a left side ankle/foot accident. He claimed thereafter that X-rays were actually damaging and also he will certainly obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie receiver Malik Nabers also exited the activity in the fourth one-fourth after enduring a concussion.Here are the best important points to know coming from Thursday night for each crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did not speak with the media before Thursday's game against the Giants. He mentioned he will speak "article gain." The Cowboys received the win, yet it had not been an imaginative elegance. Nonetheless, after Dallas was shamed in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only trait that mattered was obtaining a win on a quick week.Being 2-2 is actually so much far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it would certainly have marked the very first time they shed three September activities since 2001, and they would certainly have been in last area in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, especially in the 1st one-half along with goal passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 lawns) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The protection finally ceased the operate as well as tensed in the red region, keeping the Giants to five area goals.Prescott has now won 13 directly against the Giants. His final loss came in 2016 as a novice. He connected the second-longest gain touch by a quarterback against a singular opponent considering that quarterback stats were actually very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo grass Expenses 13 direct times coming from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful beat the Rams 13 straight from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to obtain a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Lamb possesses some sideline concerns, the most ideal seems to follow away from him. During the course of in 2015's loss at San Francisco, Sheep maintained to himself on the side project and after that adhered to along with 6 games along with at least 11 catches and also seven activities with more than 100 lawns. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Lamb had an altercation with Prescott and did not contact the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Lamb was regretful and said he would certainly be actually a lot better. In the 1st fifty percent alone, he had 6 catches for 94 yards (both time highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually played 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses three basket of 60 lawns in his career, consisting of a 60-yarder in the third fourth against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL report kept through Brett Maher, who produced four along with the Cowboys over two different stints. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 backyards this season. The rest of the league is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will definitely have 10 days to get ready for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time is going to aid due to the fact that there is actually still a lot that needs to be remedied, even with the succeed. Before three activities, opposing quarterbacks have actually skipped on simply 19 passes. Versus the Saints and Ravens, that was understandable given that both teams were thus leading on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed too much opportunity to toss for a lot of the activity after previously being agonized due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend 8 activities just before Thursday. Oh, and they were actually penalized 9 times in the initial 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 against the Cowboys, but they still failed to happen away with a gain. After final time, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their pair of conferences with the Cowboys, this needs to be deemed improvement, right?Sure, there are no moral success in the NFL, but this was the third straight come in the ideal instructions for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The space, a minimum of relatively, has limited in between the department rivals. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually won 14 of recent 15 matchups, and also Prescott has trumped all of them 13 straight opportunities. New York still isn't rather there certainly as yet, yet this confirmed it's at the very least improving.QB malfunction: Jones was actually reliable, accomplishing 29 of 40 passes (73% fulfillment) for 281 gardens along with an interception on a Hail Mary in the last seconds. But the Giants were shut out of the end region, and also Jones was short on many of his deep tosses. It's especially significant considering this was actually a trouble early in training school. There was a bunch of suitable for Jones, but it was actually not quite adequate. Jones is clearly playing better since the opener. Possessing novice wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 backyards) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving behind the activity in the fourth one-fourth along with a trauma, Nabers maintained contributing to his records. He came to be the first player in NFL past history along with a minimum of 25 events as well as three goals in his 1st four occupation video games when he caught a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second one-fourth. He right now possesses 35 functions for 386 lawns as well as three goals in 4 games.Troubling pattern: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the nearest protector on 4 goal passes presently this season, depending on to NFL Next Gen Stats. Financial institutions was actually trumped once again on Thursday night, this moment by Lamb for a 55-yard score in the 2nd quarter. The Giants were really hoping Banks will step into the CB1 function this period. As an alternative, it has actually been actually a problem therefore far.Biggest opening in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't able to obtain anything entering the running activity versus the game's worst run defense. Dallas entered the contest enabling 185.7 backyards on the ground per game. The Giants entered the activity thinking they would have excellence yet possessed just 29 lawns rushing in the very first one-half-- and they finished with 26 yards on 24 holds.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
