Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday night's game, the New York Giants and also Dallas Cowboys shared last spot in the NFC East at 1-2, a game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up two first-half goals and confined the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a protective struggle the rest of the method, as neither team racked up a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas picked up its second win of the season along with a final rating of 20-15, but celebrity edge rush Micah Parsons was hauled off the area behind time in the game with a left side ankle/foot injury. He claimed afterward that X-rays were actually adverse as well as he will definitely receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie recipient Malik Nabers likewise left the game in the 4th one-fourth after enduring a concussion.Here are actually the best vital points to know coming from Thursday night for both staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out certainly not speak to the media just before Thursday's game versus the Giants. He mentioned he will talk "post succeed." The Cowboys received the succeed, however it wasn't an artistic charm. Having said that, after Dallas was embarrassed in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually obtaining a succeed on a brief week.Being 2-2 is actually so much better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys shed, it would have noted the first time they dropped 3 September activities considering that 2001, as well as they would have remained in last area in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, specifically in the very first fifty percent along with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 gardens) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The protection eventually stopped the operate and tensed at a loss zone, keeping the Giants to 5 industry goals.Prescott has actually currently gained 13 directly versus the Giants. His last loss was available in 2016 as a newbie. He linked the second-longest win streak by a quarterback versus a solitary opponent since quarterback statistics were actually very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Costs thirteen straight opportunities coming from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful trumped the Rams thirteen right coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to acquire a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Lamb has some side project issues, the best seems to be to find out of him. In the course of last year's loss at San Francisco, Sheep kept to themself on the sideline and then followed with 6 activities along with at least 11 catches and also seven activities with greater than one hundred lawns. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Sheep possessed a spat along with Prescott and also performed not contact the media after the game. On Tuesday, Lamb was apologetic and stated he would be a lot better. In the first fifty percent alone, he possessed six catches for 94 backyards (both season highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually played 21 games for the Cowboys. He possesses three basket of 60 lawns in his profession, consisting of a 60-yarder in the 3rd quarter versus the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL record kept by Brett Maher, that helped make four with the Cowboys over two various stints. Aubrey created a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 backyards this season. The rest of the game is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys will certainly have 10 times to get ready for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will definitely help given that there is still a great deal that requires to be corrected, despite the win. Over the last 3 activities, opposing quarterbacks have skipped on merely 19 elapseds. Against the Saints and also Ravens, that was logical because both crews were actually therefore prevalent on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed way too much time to toss for much of the activity after earlier being tormented due to the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend eight video games just before Thursday. Oh, and also they were actually punished 9 attend the very first fifty percent alone.-- Todd ArcherNext game: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants kept it close versus the Cowboys, however they still really did not happen away along with a win. After last time, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their two conferences with the Cowboys, this has to be actually viewed as progress, right?Sure, there are no moral success in the NFL, yet this was the 3rd organized step in the correct direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The void, a minimum of relatively, has limited between the department competitors. Dallas still has the Giants. It has succeeded 14 of the past 15 competitions, and Prescott has actually trumped all of them thirteen straight times. The big apple still isn't rather certainly there yet, but this confirmed it's at minimum improving.QB break down: Jones was efficient, accomplishing 29 of 40 passes (73% completion) for 281 yards with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the last secs. But the Giants were shut out of the end region, and Jones was short on the majority of his deep throws. It is actually specifically distinctive considering this was a trouble early in training school. There was a ton of great for Jones, yet it was actually almost enough. Jones is actually precisely participating in far better due to the fact that the opener. Having newbie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving behind the video game in the 4th one-fourth along with a trauma, Nabers maintained adding to his reports. He ended up being the initial player in NFL past with a minimum of 25 receptions as well as three goals in his very first 4 career activities when he got a 3-yard pass early in the 2nd quarter. He now possesses 35 receptions for 386 lawns and three goals in four games.Troubling style: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the nearby defender on four goal passes actually this season, according to NFL Next Generation Stats. Financial institutions was beat once more on Thursday night, this time around by Lamb for a 55-yard rating in the 2nd quarter. The Giants were actually hoping Banks would step into the CB1 job this season. As an alternative, it has been actually a struggle so far.Biggest gap in the game plan: The Giants weren't capable to receive anything going in the running game versus the game's worst run protection. Dallas came into the competition allowing 185.7 backyards on the ground every game. The Giants entered the game assuming they will possess results yet possessed only 29 backyards entering the 1st half-- as well as they completed with 26 backyards on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
