Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering Thursday night's activity, the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys shared final spot in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philly Eagles.The Cowboys racked up pair of first-half goals and also limited the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was actually a protective war the rest of the method, as neither team racked up a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas got its own 2nd gain of the season with a last credit rating of 20-15, yet superstar edge rush Micah Parsons was actually hauled off the area behind time in the video game with a left side ankle/foot personal injury. He pointed out subsequently that X-rays were adverse and he will definitely get an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers additionally left the video game in the 4th one-fourth after suffering a concussion.Here are one of the most important points to know from Thursday evening for both teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out certainly not speak to the media prior to Thursday's game against the Giants. He stated he will talk "article gain." The Cowboys acquired the succeed, yet it had not been an artistic elegance. Nonetheless, after Dallas was shamed in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only factor that mattered was actually getting a win on a short week.Being 2-2 is actually so much far better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys lost, it will have noted the first time they shed three September games since 2001, as well as they would certainly have been in last spot in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, specifically in the first half along with goal exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 backyards) and Rico Dowdle (15 gardens). The self defense ultimately ceased the operate and tensed at a loss zone, storing the Giants to five field goals.Prescott has actually now won thirteen directly against the Giants. His final loss came in 2016 as a rookie. He linked the second-longest gain streak through a quarterback versus a single rival since quarterback statistics were initial tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo Bills 13 direct times from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Young trumped the Rams thirteen right from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to acquire an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Sheep has some side project issues, the most ideal appears ahead away from him. Throughout last year's loss at San Francisco, Lamb maintained to themself on the subsidiary and after that adhered to with six activities with a minimum of 11 catches as well as seven video games along with much more than one hundred backyards. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Sheep had a spat along with Prescott and did not contact the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Lamb was apologetic and claimed he will be actually a lot better. In the first half alone, he possessed six catches for 94 yards (both period highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He has 3 field goals of 60 backyards in his occupation, consisting of a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth against the Giants. That's one off the NFL report held by Brett Maher, who made four with the Cowboys over 2 various stints. Aubrey created a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 lawns this period. The remainder of the organization is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will possess 10 times to get ready for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will certainly assist due to the fact that there is still a lot that needs to become dealt with, despite the succeed. Previously 3 games, resisting quarterbacks have skipped on simply 19 passes. Against the Saints and Ravens, that was easy to understand because both groups were actually thus prevalent on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had way too much opportunity to toss for a lot of the game after formerly being actually agonized by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in eight activities just before Thursday. Oh, and also they were punished nine attend the 1st 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 maintained it close versus the Cowboys, but they still really did not come away along with a gain. After last time, 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 success in the NFL, however this was the third straight intervene the correct direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The gap, a minimum of to some degree, has narrowed in between the department competitors. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually won 14 of the past 15 competitions, and Prescott has trumped them thirteen direct times. New York still isn't rather certainly there as yet, yet this proved it goes to least improving.QB breakdown: Jones was reliable, accomplishing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% finalization) for 281 backyards with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the last secs. However the Giants were kept out of the end region, and Jones needed on most of his deep throws. It's especially significant considering this was actually a concern early in training camp. There was a considerable amount of great for Jones, yet it was actually almost enough. Jones is precisely participating in far better given that the opener. Having rookie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving behind the video game in the 4th quarter with a concussion, Nabers always kept including in his documents. He came to be the very first player in NFL past along with at least 25 receptions and also three touchdowns in his very first four occupation activities when he got a 3-yard elapsed early in the 2nd quarter. He now possesses 35 celebrations for 386 gardens and 3 goals in 4 games.Troubling pattern: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been the local guardian on 4 touchdown passes already this period, depending on to NFL Next Gen Statistics. Banks was actually trumped once again on Thursday night, this time around through Lamb for a 55-yard score in the 2nd one-fourth. The Giants were wishing Financial institutions will step into the CB1 part this time. Instead, it has actually been actually a problem therefore far.Biggest opening in the strategy: The Giants weren't able to get anything going in the operating activity versus the league's worst operate self defense. Dallas entered into the contest allowing 185.7 backyards on the ground every game. The Giants came into the activity thinking they will have results however possessed simply 29 lawns rushing in the first fifty percent-- and also they completed with 26 gardens on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
