Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday night's game, the The big apple Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys discussed last spot in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys scored two first-half touchdowns and also restricted the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the half. It was actually a defensive battle the remainder of the means, as neither crew racked up a touchdown in the second half.Dallas got its second succeed of the time with a final rating of 20-15, yet celebrity side rusher Micah Parsons was actually taken off the field behind time in the video game with a remaining ankle/foot accident. He said subsequently that X-rays were bad and also he is going to acquire an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie receiver Malik Nabers also left the video game in the 4th quarter after going through a concussion.Here are the absolute most necessary points to understand from Thursday night for both teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did certainly not speak to the media prior to Thursday's video game against the Giants. He mentioned he would certainly speak "post win." The Cowboys acquired the win, yet it had not been an imaginative charm. However, after Dallas was actually humiliated in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually acquiring a succeed on a short week.Being 2-2 is a great deal better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys lost, it would certainly possess denoted the first time they lost 3 September video games since 2001, as well as they would have resided in last place in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, particularly in the 1st one-half with goal passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 backyards) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The self defense lastly quit the operate and tensed in the red zone, holding the Giants to five area goals.Prescott has right now gained thirteen straight versus the Giants. His last loss came in 2016 as a novice. He tied the second-longest win touch through a quarterback versus a single opponent since quarterback stats were 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo grass Costs thirteen straight times coming from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Young defeated the Rams thirteen straight from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will acquire an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Lamb possesses some sideline issues, the very best appears to come out of him. During in 2013's loss at San Francisco, Lamb always kept to themself on the subsidiary and after that adhered to with six activities along with a minimum of 11 catches and seven video games along with greater than 100 backyards. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Sheep had an altercation along with Prescott and did not contact the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually regretful and stated he would be a lot better. In the 1st fifty percent alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 lawns (both period highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He has three basket of 60 backyards in his career, consisting of a 60-yarder in the third quarter against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file held 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 from 60 gardens this time. The remainder of the league is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will have 10 times to get ready for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will certainly aid given that there is still a lot that requires to be fixed, despite the gain. In the past three activities, opposing quarterbacks have actually overlooked on merely 19 elapseds. Versus the Saints and Ravens, that was actually reasonable due to the fact that each groups were actually thus prevalent on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed excessive opportunity to throw for much of the video game after recently being tortured due to the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend eight activities just before Thursday. Oh, and also they were imposed penalty on 9 times in the 1st fifty percent alone.-- Todd ArcherNext activity: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants kept it close against the Cowboys, but they still really did not come away along with a succeed. After last season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their two conferences along with the Cowboys, this has to be viewed as progression, right?Sure, there are actually no moral victories in the NFL, yet this was actually the third straight step in the right path for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, at the very least to some degree, has actually limited between the division opponents. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has actually won 14 of the past 15 matchups, as well as Prescott has beaten all of them 13 straight times. Nyc still isn't rather there yet, however this proved it goes to least improving.QB failure: Jones was actually efficient, finishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% completion) for 281 backyards with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the last secs. But the Giants were actually stayed out of completion area, as well as Jones needed on a lot of his deep throws. It's specifically distinctive considering this was actually an issue early in training school. There was actually a great deal of good for Jones, yet it was almost adequate. Jones is actually clearly playing better due to the fact that the opener. Possessing novice pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 lawns) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving behind the game in the fourth quarter with a concussion, Nabers kept adding to his reports. He ended up being the first player in NFL past along with at least 25 functions as well as 3 touchdowns in his first 4 job video games when he saw a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second one-fourth. He currently possesses 35 functions for 386 lawns and also three touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling style: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the closest protector on 4 touchdown passes already this season, depending on to NFL Next Gen Statistics. Financial institutions was defeated once again on Thursday evening, this moment by Sheep for a 55-yard score in the second quarter. The Giants were actually hoping Banks would certainly enter the CB1 role this season. Rather, it has been a struggle thus far.Biggest gap in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't capable to obtain just about anything entering the running activity versus the game's worst run self defense. Dallas entered into the competition enabling 185.7 backyards on the ground per activity. The Giants came into the game believing they will have success yet had only 29 backyards entering the 1st fifty percent-- and also they finished with 26 yards on 24 brings.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
