Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday night's activity, the New York Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys discussed last spot in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up pair of first-half touchdowns as well as limited the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the half. It was a protective struggle the rest of the technique, as neither team scored a goal in the second half.Dallas picked up its second succeed of the time along with a final rating of 20-15, however star side rusher Micah Parsons was actually carted off the area behind time in the activity along with a nigh side ankle/foot personal injury. He said subsequently that X-rays were unfavorable and also he is going to acquire an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie receiver Malik Nabers additionally went out the activity in the fourth quarter after experiencing a concussion.Here are actually one of the most crucial traits to recognize coming from Thursday evening for both staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did certainly not speak with the media before Thursday's game against the Giants. He mentioned he would certainly speak "article gain." The Cowboys obtained the gain, however it had not been an imaginative appeal. Having said that, after Dallas was actually embarrassed in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only trait that mattered was actually acquiring a win on a short week.Being 2-2 is actually a great deal far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it would certainly possess denoted the very first time they lost 3 September activities given that 2001, and they would have remained in final spot in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, specifically in the 1st fifty percent along with goal passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 backyards) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The defense ultimately quit the operate and stiffened in the red zone, storing the Giants to five area goals.Prescott has actually currently gained thirteen directly against the Giants. His final loss can be found in 2016 as a newbie. He connected the second-longest gain streak through a quarterback versus a single challenger given that quarterback statistics were 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Bills thirteen direct times coming from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Young beat the Rams thirteen right coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to get a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Lamb possesses some sideline issues, the very best appears ahead away from him. During in 2014's loss at San Francisco, Sheep always kept to himself on the side project and afterwards followed with six video games along with a minimum of 11 catches and also 7 games along with more than one hundred backyards. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Lamb possessed a squabble with Prescott as well as carried out not talk with the media after the game. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually apologetic as well as said he will be much better. In the very first fifty percent alone, he had 6 catches for 94 gardens (both season highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses three field goals of 60 backyards in his job, featuring a 60-yarder in the third quarter versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL record held through Brett Maher, that made four with the Cowboys over 2 various assignments. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 gardens this period. The remainder of the game is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys will certainly possess 10 days to get ready for the currently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time will help considering that there is actually still a whole lot that needs to become remedied, despite the win. In the past 3 games, resisting quarterbacks have actually overlooked on simply 19 passes. Against the Saints as well as Ravens, that was actually reasonable because both crews were therefore leading on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had way too much time to toss for much of the video game after recently being actually agonized due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend eight activities prior to Thursday. Oh, as well as they were imposed penalty on nine times in the initial half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext activity: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants maintained it close against the Cowboys, however they still really did not happen away with a succeed. After last season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 appointments with the Cowboys, this must be actually deemed improvement, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical success in the NFL, yet this was actually the 3rd straight step in the correct instructions for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The gap, at the very least relatively, has tightened in between the division opponents. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually gained 14 of the past 15 matches, as well as Prescott has actually beaten them thirteen straight times. New york city still isn't quite there yet, but this verified it goes to minimum improving.QB malfunction: Jones was actually efficient, finishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% finalization) for 281 backyards with an interception on a Hail Mary in the final seconds. But the Giants were shut out of completion region, and also Jones needed on a lot of his centered tosses. It's specifically noteworthy considering this was a complication early in training camp. There was actually a bunch of good for Jones, however it was actually almost enough. Jones is plainly playing far better since the opener. Possessing newbie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the activity in the fourth quarter along with a concussion, Nabers maintained contributing to his documents. He became the first gamer in NFL record with a minimum of 25 events as well as three goals in his very first 4 career activities when he saw a 3-yard pass early in the second one-fourth. He now possesses 35 events for 386 gardens and also three goals in 4 games.Troubling fad: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been the nearby guardian on 4 touchdown passes presently this time, according to NFL Next Generation Stats. Banks was actually trumped once more on Thursday night, this time around by Sheep for a 55-yard credit rating in the 2nd one-fourth. The Giants were hoping Banking companies would certainly step into the CB1 task this season. Rather, it has actually been a problem thus far.Biggest opening in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't capable to obtain just about anything using the operating video game versus the organization's worst operate self defense. Dallas entered into the competition making it possible for 185.7 lawns on the ground per game. The Giants entered into the video game assuming they would certainly possess success however had simply 29 gardens rushing in the very first one-half-- and they finished with 26 lawns on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
