Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday night's video game, the New York Giants and also Dallas Cowboys discussed final place in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored pair of first-half touchdowns and limited the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was a protective fight the rest of the technique, as neither crew scored a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its own second gain of the time with a final score of 20-15, but star side rusher Micah Parsons was carted off the field behind time in the game with a remaining ankle/foot personal injury. He stated thereafter that X-rays were unfavorable and also he is going to obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers also left the game in the fourth quarter after experiencing a concussion.Here are one of the most necessary points to understand coming from Thursday evening for both crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed certainly not talk with the media before Thursday's activity against the Giants. He said he would talk "message win." The Cowboys received the win, yet it wasn't a creative charm. Nevertheless, after Dallas was actually embarrassed in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only trait that mattered was acquiring a win on a short week.Being 2-2 is actually a lot far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys lost, it would have denoted the very first time they shed three September video games considering that 2001, and they would have remained in last spot in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, particularly in the initial half along with touchdown passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 lawns) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 gardens). The defense eventually ceased the run and also stiffened at a loss area, keeping the Giants to 5 field goals.Prescott has currently gained thirteen straight versus the Giants. His final loss came in 2016 as a newbie. He connected the second-longest win touch by a quarterback versus a solitary enemy considering that quarterback statistics were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo Bills 13 straight opportunities from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Youthful defeated the Rams 13 straight coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely acquire an odds at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Sheep has some sideline concerns, the very best seems to be to find out of him. During the course of in 2013's reduction at San Francisco, Lamb always kept to themself on the subsidiary and after that adhered to with 6 video games with a minimum of 11 catches and also seven games with more than one hundred yards. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Sheep had an altercation along with Prescott and carried out not speak with the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually apologetic as well as stated he would be a lot better. In the initial fifty percent alone, he had six catches for 94 backyards (both season highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He has 3 field goals of 60 lawns in his job, featuring a 60-yarder in the 3rd one-fourth versus the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file held by Brett Maher, that created four along with the Cowboys over two various stints. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 coming from 60 lawns this season. The remainder of the game is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys are going to possess 10 times to prepare for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time will certainly assist since there is still a great deal that requires to be dealt with, even with the gain. In the past 3 video games, resisting quarterbacks have overlooked on just 19 elapseds. Against the Saints and Ravens, that was reasonable considering that each staffs were actually so prevalent on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed way too much opportunity to toss for a lot of the game after formerly being actually tormented due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in eight activities just before Thursday. Oh, as well as they were actually imposed penalty on nine times in the initial 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, however they still failed to happen away with a win. After final season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their pair of meetings with the Cowboys, this must be actually deemed progression, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical triumphes in the NFL, yet this was actually the 3rd straight step in the ideal path for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, at the very least to some extent, has actually narrowed between the division competitors. Dallas still owns the Giants. It has won 14 of the past 15 competitions, and also Prescott has actually trumped them 13 straight times. Nyc still isn't rather certainly there as yet, however this proved it's at the very least improving.QB break down: Jones was actually effective, accomplishing 29 of 40 passes (73% completion) for 281 gardens with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the final few seconds. But the Giants were kept out of completion zone, and Jones was short on a lot of his centered tosses. It's specifically significant considering this was a trouble early in training school. There was actually a lot of good for Jones, yet it was actually not quite sufficient. Jones is actually clearly participating in better given that the opener. Having newbie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving behind the video game in the fourth quarter along with a trauma, Nabers kept adding to his reports. He ended up being the initial gamer in NFL past history along with a minimum of 25 receptions and also 3 touchdowns in his first 4 profession video games when he caught a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second one-fourth. He now possesses 35 functions for 386 lawns and 3 goals in four games.Troubling style: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the closest defender on four goal passes presently this time, according to NFL Next Generation Stats. Banking companies was trumped again on Thursday evening, this time around through Lamb for a 55-yard rating in the 2nd quarter. The Giants were hoping Financial institutions will enter the CB1 part this period. As an alternative, it has been a battle thus far.Biggest hole in the strategy: The Giants weren't able to obtain everything entering the operating game versus the organization's worst run defense. Dallas entered the contest allowing 185.7 yards on the ground every activity. The Giants entered into the game thinking they will have results however had simply 29 gardens rushing in the very first one-half-- as well as they finished with 26 yards on 24 brings.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
