Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering into Thursday night's game, the The big apple Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed final place in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored pair of first-half goals as well as restricted the Giants to 3 basket to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a defensive fight the remainder of the method, as neither staff scored a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas got its second succeed of the season along with a last credit rating of 20-15, but superstar side rusher Micah Parsons was actually ferried off the area late in the game along with a remaining ankle/foot injury. He stated subsequently that X-rays were actually bad and also he will definitely receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie receiver Malik Nabers likewise left the game in the 4th one-fourth after experiencing a concussion.Here are actually the best significant traits to recognize from Thursday evening for both crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed not contact the media before Thursday's video game against the Giants. He claimed he would certainly communicate "post gain." The Cowboys acquired the win, however it had not been an artistic charm. However, after Dallas was actually humiliated in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was acquiring a succeed on a short week.Being 2-2 is actually so much far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys lost, it would certainly have marked the first time they lost three September games considering that 2001, as well as they would have been in last place in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, particularly in the very first one-half with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 gardens) and Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The self defense eventually stopped the operate and stiffened in the hole zone, keeping the Giants to five area goals.Prescott has actually right now gained thirteen right against the Giants. His final loss came in 2016 as a novice. He tied the second-longest win streak through a quarterback versus a solitary enemy considering that quarterback statistics were actually first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo grass Costs thirteen straight times coming from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Youthful trumped the Rams 13 straight coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely obtain a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Lamb possesses some subsidiary issues, the greatest appears to find out of him. Throughout in 2013's loss at San Francisco, Lamb kept to himself on the subsidiary and then followed along with 6 activities with a minimum of 11 catches and also seven games along with more than 100 yards. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Sheep possessed an altercation along with Prescott as well as did certainly not speak with the media after the game. On Tuesday, Lamb was apologetic and said he would be actually much better. In the initial fifty percent alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 lawns (both period highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually played 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses 3 field goals of 60 backyards in his job, featuring a 60-yarder in the 3rd quarter against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL document secured through Brett Maher, who produced four with the Cowboys over pair of various stints. Aubrey made a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 yards this period. The remainder of the league is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will have 10 days to prepare for the currently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will assist due to the fact that there is actually still a great deal that needs to have to be dealt with, even with the succeed. In the past three video games, resisting quarterbacks have actually missed on merely 19 elapseds. Against the Saints and also Ravens, that was understandable due to the fact that each teams were so leading on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had too much opportunity to throw for a lot of the game after formerly being agonized by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend eight games just before Thursday. Oh, and also they were actually imposed penalty on 9 times in the initial half 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 against the Cowboys, however they still failed to happen away with a win. After last season, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their pair of conferences with the Cowboys, this has to be actually considered as development, right?Sure, there are actually no moral triumphes in the NFL, however this was the 3rd organized come in the best path for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The void, a minimum of to some degree, has limited in between the division opponents. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has gained 14 of recent 15 matchups, and also Prescott has actually trumped them 13 straight times. Nyc still isn't very there certainly as yet, yet this proved it's at minimum improving.QB break down: Jones was effective, completing 29 of 40 passes (73% finalization) for 281 gardens with an interception on a Hail Mary in the final seconds. However the Giants were actually stayed out of completion region, and Jones was short on the majority of his centered throws. It's especially noteworthy considering this was actually a problem early in training camp. There was actually a bunch of suitable for Jones, but it was actually almost enough. Jones is clearly playing far better considering that the opener. Having novice wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 lawns) undoubtedly helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving the video game in the 4th one-fourth along with a trauma, Nabers maintained contributing to his reports. He became the initial gamer in NFL past along with a minimum of 25 receptions and also 3 touchdowns in his initial four profession video games when he caught a 3-yard pass early in the second quarter. He currently possesses 35 events for 386 gardens as well as three goals in four games.Troubling fad: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the closest protector on four goal passes actually this season, according to NFL Next Gen Statistics. Financial institutions was beat again on Thursday night, this moment through Sheep for a 55-yard credit rating in the second fourth. The Giants were hoping Banking companies would enter the CB1 role this time. Instead, it has actually been a problem thus far.Biggest gap in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to get just about anything entering the operating activity versus the game's worst run protection. Dallas entered the contest allowing 185.7 yards on the ground per game. The Giants entered the video game believing they will have results however had only 29 yards rushing in the 1st half-- and they do with 26 gardens on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
