Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Going into Thursday evening's video game, the Nyc Giants and Dallas Cowboys shared last area in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys scored 2 first-half touchdowns as well as confined the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a defensive battle the remainder of the way, as neither group racked up a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas got its 2nd succeed of the period with a last rating of 20-15, however superstar side rusher Micah Parsons was ferried off the field behind time in the video game along with a left ankle/foot personal injury. He stated subsequently that X-rays were damaging and also he is going to acquire an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers also left the video game in the 4th quarter after suffering a concussion.Here are actually the best important points to know coming from Thursday evening for each staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed not talk to the media before Thursday's video game against the Giants. He stated he would talk "blog post gain." The Cowboys received the succeed, yet it had not been an artistic charm. However, after Dallas was embarrassed in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only factor that mattered was getting a gain on a short week.Being 2-2 is a lot better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys shed, it would certainly possess noted the first time they dropped three September activities considering that 2001, and also they will possess remained in last spot in the NFC East.Prescott was actually sharp, specifically in the initial half along with goal passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 gardens) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 gardens). The defense finally stopped the operate as well as tensed in the red zone, holding the Giants to 5 industry goals.Prescott has actually now won thirteen straight versus the Giants. His final loss can be found in 2016 as a newbie. He linked the second-longest gain touch through a quarterback versus a solitary opponent considering that quarterback stats were first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo grass Costs 13 straight opportunities from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Young defeated the Rams 13 directly coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will get an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Lamb possesses some subsidiary problems, the most effective seems to be to come out of him. During in 2015's reduction at San Francisco, Sheep maintained to himself on the side project and after that adhered to along with six games with at the very least 11 catches and also seven games with more than 100 gardens. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb possessed a squabble with Prescott and also did not speak to the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Sheep was regretful and stated he will be actually better. In the very first one-half alone, he had six catches for 94 backyards (both period highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He has three field goals of 60 lawns in his career, consisting of a 60-yarder in the 3rd one-fourth versus the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL report kept by Brett Maher, who created 4 with the Cowboys over pair of various stints. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 backyards this season. The rest of the organization is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys are going to possess 10 times to prepare for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time will assist because there is actually still a great deal that needs to become dealt with, despite the succeed. Before three activities, opposing quarterbacks have missed on merely 19 successfully pases. Against the Saints as well as Ravens, that was logical since both staffs were therefore leading on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had excessive time to toss for a lot of the game after recently being tormented by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend 8 games prior to Thursday. Oh, as well as they were actually penalized 9 times in the first 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 failed to happen away along with a gain. After final period, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two meetings with the Cowboys, this must be actually deemed progression, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical success in the NFL, yet this was actually the 3rd straight action in the correct instructions for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The gap, a minimum of to some degree, has actually tightened between the division competitors. Dallas still has the Giants. It has gained 14 of the past 15 matchups, as well as Prescott has defeated all of them thirteen direct times. Nyc still isn't quite certainly there yet, but this verified it goes to minimum improving.QB breakdown: Jones was actually efficient, finishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% finalization) for 281 lawns along with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the ultimate secs. However the Giants were actually shut out of completion area, and also Jones needed on most of his deep throws. It is actually especially noteworthy considering this was actually a concern early in training school. There was actually a ton of helpful for Jones, however it was almost adequate. Jones is clearly participating in much better because the opener. Having newbie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the game in the fourth one-fourth along with a blast, Nabers always kept adding to his records. He ended up being the first player in NFL record with a minimum of 25 functions as well as 3 touchdowns in his very first 4 profession video games when he got a 3-yard successfully pass early in the 2nd quarter. He currently has 35 functions for 386 lawns and also 3 touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling pattern: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the closest defender on 4 touchdown passes presently this time, depending on to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Financial institutions was actually trumped once again on Thursday night, this moment through Lamb for a 55-yard rating in the second quarter. The Giants were wishing Banks would certainly step into the CB1 role this season. Rather, it has been actually a struggle thus far.Biggest gap in the game plan: The Giants weren't capable to receive everything using the operating video game versus the organization's worst operate protection. Dallas entered the contest permitting 185.7 lawns on the ground every activity. The Giants entered into the video game presuming they would have effectiveness however had simply 29 backyards rushing in the 1st half-- and also they finished with 26 backyards on 24 holds.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
