Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday night's activity, the The big apple Giants and Dallas Cowboys shared final area in the NFC East at 1-2, a game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up two first-half touchdowns as well as restricted the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was a defensive fight the remainder of the technique, as neither staff scored a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas picked up its 2nd win of the time with an ultimate rating of 20-15, yet celebrity side rusher Micah Parsons was carted off the area behind time in the video game with a left side ankle/foot accident. He claimed later that X-rays were actually damaging and he will obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice recipient Malik Nabers likewise exited the activity in the 4th one-fourth after enduring a concussion.Here are actually the absolute most significant factors to know from Thursday evening for both staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed not contact the media just before Thursday's video game versus the Giants. He stated he would speak "post succeed." The Cowboys acquired the win, yet it had not been a creative elegance. However, after Dallas was shamed in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was obtaining a succeed on a brief week.Being 2-2 is so much better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys shed, it will possess noted the very first time they lost 3 September activities since 2001, and also they would have remained in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, specifically in the first one-half along with touchdown passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 backyards) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The defense ultimately quit the operate and also stabilized in the hole region, holding the Giants to 5 field goals.Prescott has currently won 13 directly versus the Giants. His last reduction came in 2016 as a rookie. He connected the second-longest win touch by a quarterback versus a single enemy since quarterback stats were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Expenses thirteen straight opportunities from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Young trumped the Rams 13 directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will obtain a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Sheep has some side project problems, the most ideal seems to come out of him. During the course of last year's reduction at San Francisco, Lamb kept to himself on the side project and then adhered to along with 6 games with at the very least 11 catches and also 7 video games along with more than 100 lawns. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb had a spat with Prescott as well as did certainly not talk to the media after the game. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually apologetic as well as said he would certainly be better. In the 1st one-half alone, he had six catches for 94 lawns (both time highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses 3 basket of 60 backyards in his profession, consisting of a 60-yarder in the 3rd fourth against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file held through Brett Maher, who made four along with the Cowboys over two various assignments. Aubrey made a 60-yarder recently against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 yards this period. The remainder of the organization is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will definitely possess 10 times to get ready for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time will definitely assist due to the fact that there is actually still a lot that needs to have to become repaired, despite having the gain. Before 3 video games, opposing quarterbacks have skipped on simply 19 successfully pases. Against the Saints and Ravens, that was easy to understand given that each crews were actually thus dominant on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had a lot of opportunity to throw for much of the activity after formerly being actually tortured due to the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 times in eight video games just before Thursday. Oh, as well as they were penalized 9 times in the first half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext video 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 really did not come away with a succeed. After last period, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 meetings with the Cowboys, this needs to be considered as development, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical triumphes in the NFL, however this was the 3rd organized step in the correct direction for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The gap, at the very least relatively, has limited between the division rivals. Dallas still owns the Giants. It has actually succeeded 14 of recent 15 matches, and also Prescott has actually defeated them thirteen straight opportunities. New York still isn't pretty certainly there yet, but this proved it's at minimum improving.QB failure: Jones was actually effective, accomplishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% conclusion) for 281 yards along with an interception on a Hail Mary in the final seconds. Yet the Giants were stayed out of the end zone, as well as Jones was short on many of his deep throws. It is actually especially distinctive considering this was a problem early in training school. There was actually a lot of great for Jones, yet it was actually not quite adequate. Jones is plainly playing far better given that the opener. Having novice wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the video game in the fourth quarter along with a concussion, Nabers maintained adding to his files. He ended up being the initial player in NFL history with at the very least 25 functions and three goals in his 1st four career activities when he caught a 3-yard elapsed early in the 2nd fourth. He currently has 35 celebrations for 386 backyards as well as 3 touchdowns in four games.Troubling pattern: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been the local guardian on four touchdown passes already this season, depending on to NFL Next Generation Stats. Banking companies was beat once again on Thursday night, this moment through Sheep for a 55-yard score in the 2nd quarter. The Giants were actually really hoping Banking companies would enter the CB1 part this season. Rather, it has actually been actually a struggle thus far.Biggest opening in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to acquire just about anything entering the operating activity versus the organization's worst run protection. Dallas entered into the contest making it possible for 185.7 gardens on the ground every game. The Giants came into the video game thinking they will possess success yet possessed just 29 yards entering the first half-- and they do with 26 lawns on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
