Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering Thursday evening's video game, the Nyc Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys shared final place in the NFC East at 1-2, a game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up two first-half touchdowns and confined the Giants to 3 basket to lead 14-9 at the half. It was actually a defensive battle the rest of the way, as neither staff racked up a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas got its own second win of the period with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, yet celebrity side rush Micah Parsons was actually carted off the field late in the game with a nigh side ankle/foot injury. He pointed out subsequently that X-rays were actually damaging as well as he is going to obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers also left the game in the fourth one-fourth after suffering a concussion.Here are actually one of the most vital factors to recognize from Thursday night for each teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out not contact the media prior to Thursday's video game against the Giants. He mentioned he would certainly talk "article gain." The Cowboys acquired the gain, but it had not been a creative charm. Having said that, after Dallas was humiliated in next home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was actually obtaining a succeed on a short week.Being 2-2 is a great deal far better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys dropped, it would certainly have denoted the very first time they dropped 3 September video games since 2001, and also they would certainly have been in last spot in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, specifically in the first half with goal exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 lawns) and Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The self defense lastly quit the operate as well as stabilized in the hole area, storing the Giants to five field goals.Prescott has now gained thirteen right versus the Giants. His final reduction came in 2016 as a newbie. He tied the second-longest gain touch through a quarterback versus a single rival considering that quarterback stats were actually first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo Expenses thirteen straight opportunities coming from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Young defeated the Rams thirteen straight from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will certainly acquire an odds at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Sheep possesses some subsidiary problems, the most ideal seems to find out of him. During in 2013's reduction at San Francisco, Lamb maintained to themself on the sideline and after that observed along with 6 activities with at least 11 catches and also 7 activities along with more than 100 yards. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Sheep had a spat along with Prescott and did not speak with the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Sheep was regretful as well as claimed he would be much better. In the initial fifty percent alone, he had six catches for 94 gardens (both time highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He possesses 3 basket of 60 yards in his job, consisting of a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL file secured through Brett Maher, who helped make four along with the Cowboys over pair of different stints. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 lawns this time. The remainder of the organization is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys will have 10 days to prepare for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will aid due to the fact that there is still a whole lot that requires to become fixed, despite having the win. Previously 3 activities, resisting quarterbacks have missed on only 19 passes. Versus the Saints as well as Ravens, that was reasonable since both groups were actually therefore leading on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed too much opportunity to toss for a lot of the activity after previously being agonized by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend 8 activities prior to Thursday. Oh, and also they were imposed penalty on nine attend the 1st one-half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext 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, however they still didn't come away with a succeed. After final time, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their pair of appointments along with the Cowboys, this has to be actually considered as progression, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical victories in the NFL, yet this was actually the 3rd straight action in the correct direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, at the very least to some extent, has narrowed in between the branch competitors. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has gained 14 of recent 15 competitions, and also Prescott has actually defeated all of them thirteen straight opportunities. The big apple still isn't very there yet, however this verified it goes to least improving.QB failure: Jones was reliable, completing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% finalization) for 281 yards along with an interception on a Hail Mary in the last secs. However the Giants were kept out of completion zone, and Jones needed on most of his centered tosses. It's especially remarkable considering this was an issue early in training school. There was actually a great deal of suitable for Jones, but it was almost sufficient. Jones is accurately playing better due to the fact that the opener. Possessing novice pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the game in the 4th one-fourth with a concussion, Nabers maintained adding to his files. He became the initial gamer in NFL past history with at least 25 functions and three touchdowns in his 1st 4 occupation video games when he saw a 3-yard pass early in the second one-fourth. He right now has 35 events for 386 lawns and also 3 goals in 4 games.Troubling style: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the closest protector on four goal passes presently this period, depending on to NFL Next Gen Stats. Financial institutions was beat once more on Thursday evening, this moment through Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the 2nd quarter. The Giants were wishing Financial institutions will enter the CB1 part this period. Rather, it has actually been a problem so far.Biggest hole in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to get anything entering the running video game against the organization's worst run self defense. Dallas entered the contest enabling 185.7 yards on the ground per video game. The Giants came into the game assuming they would have success however had merely 29 gardens entering the initial half-- as well as they do with 26 backyards on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
