Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday night's activity, the The big apple Giants and 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 scored two first-half goals and confined the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was a defensive struggle the remainder of the technique, as neither crew racked up a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas got its own 2nd succeed of the period along with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, yet superstar edge rush Micah Parsons was actually carted off the field late in the game along with a left ankle/foot injury. He stated afterward that X-rays were negative and also he will certainly get an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie recipient Malik Nabers additionally exited the activity in the 4th one-fourth after experiencing a concussion.Here are actually the absolute most significant factors to recognize coming from Thursday evening for each teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out certainly not talk with the media just before Thursday's video game versus the Giants. He stated he will communicate "post win." The Cowboys got the win, however it had not been an artistic charm. However, after Dallas was actually shamed in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only trait that mattered was getting a win on a short week.Being 2-2 is actually a great deal far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys lost, it would possess denoted the first time they dropped 3 September activities because 2001, and also they will possess been in last location in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, especially in the first fifty percent along with goal passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 yards) and also Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The self defense finally ceased the operate as well as stiffened in the hole region, storing the Giants to five industry goals.Prescott has actually now won thirteen straight against the Giants. His final reduction came in 2016 as a newbie. He connected the second-longest gain streak by a quarterback against a single challenger since quarterback stats were first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Expenses 13 straight opportunities from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Young beat the Rams 13 directly coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will certainly acquire a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Lamb possesses some subsidiary issues, the very best seems to be to come away from him. Throughout in 2013's loss at San Francisco, Sheep kept to himself on the sideline and afterwards adhered to with 6 video games with a minimum of 11 catches and seven games along with greater than one hundred lawns. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb possessed a squabble with Prescott as well as performed certainly not talk with the media after the game. On Tuesday, Sheep was regretful as well as mentioned he would be actually much better. In the first fifty percent alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 backyards (both season highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses three field goals of 60 yards in his profession, consisting of a 60-yarder in the 3rd quarter versus the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL report kept through Brett Maher, that made four with the Cowboys over pair of various stints. Aubrey created a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 backyards this season. The remainder of the organization is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys are going to have 10 days to get ready for the currently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment is going to assist since there is still a whole lot that needs to have to be corrected, even with the gain. Previously three activities, opposing quarterbacks have actually missed on only 19 passes. Against the Saints and Ravens, that was understandable given that each teams were therefore leading on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed way too much time to toss for much of the video game after formerly being actually tormented due to the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 times in eight activities just before Thursday. Oh, and also they were actually penalized nine attend the 1st half 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 versus the Cowboys, however they still really did not come away with a succeed. After last time, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their 2 appointments along with the Cowboys, this must be viewed as progression, right?Sure, there are no moral triumphes in the NFL, but this was the 3rd organized come in the correct direction for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The space, at least to some extent, has tightened in between the department competitors. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually succeeded 14 of the past 15 competitions, and Prescott has actually beaten them thirteen direct opportunities. The big apple still isn't very there yet, but this proved it's at minimum improving.QB failure: Jones was effective, completing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% conclusion) for 281 backyards with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the ultimate seconds. However the Giants were stayed out of completion area, and Jones needed on the majority of his centered throws. It is actually especially remarkable considering this was actually an issue early in training school. There was actually a bunch of helpful for Jones, however it was not quite sufficient. Jones is accurately playing better due to the fact that the opener. Having rookie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the game in the fourth one-fourth along with a blast, Nabers kept adding to his documents. He became the 1st gamer in NFL record with at least 25 receptions and also 3 goals in his first four job video games when he found a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second one-fourth. He right now possesses 35 functions for 386 lawns as well as 3 goals in four games.Troubling style: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the closest defender on 4 goal passes already this season, depending on to NFL Next Gen Stats. Financial institutions was actually beat once more on Thursday evening, this moment through Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the 2nd quarter. The Giants were wishing Banks would enter the CB1 duty this season. As an alternative, it has been a struggle so far.Biggest hole in the strategy: The Giants weren't able to acquire everything going in the running video game versus the organization's worst run defense. Dallas entered the competition enabling 185.7 lawns on the ground every activity. The Giants entered into the game assuming they will have excellence yet had simply 29 lawns entering the very first one-half-- and they finished with 26 lawns on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
