Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday evening's game, the New York Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys shared last place in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up pair of first-half touchdowns and also limited the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the half. It was a defensive battle the rest of the way, as neither group racked up a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its second succeed of the season along with a last score of 20-15, but star edge rusher Micah Parsons was actually hauled off the field late in the video game along with a remaining ankle/foot injury. He stated thereafter that X-rays were damaging and also he is going to acquire an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice recipient Malik Nabers additionally went out the game in the fourth one-fourth after going through a concussion.Here are actually the best necessary things to recognize coming from Thursday night for each crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did not contact the media just before Thursday's video game versus the Giants. He stated he would certainly speak "message win." The Cowboys received the gain, however it had not been an artistic elegance. Having said that, after Dallas was embarrassed in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only trait that mattered was getting a succeed on a short week.Being 2-2 is so much better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys dropped, it would have marked the very first time they shed 3 September video games since 2001, and they would certainly have remained in final spot in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, particularly in the initial fifty percent with touchdown passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 yards) and also Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The defense eventually ceased the operate as well as stabilized in the red region, holding the Giants to 5 field goals.Prescott has now gained 13 right versus the Giants. His last loss came in 2016 as a rookie. He linked the second-longest win touch by a quarterback against a solitary challenger because quarterback stats were 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo Bills 13 direct opportunities coming from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful trumped the Rams thirteen straight coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will obtain a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Lamb possesses some subsidiary problems, the most effective appears to follow out of him. During the course of last year's loss at San Francisco, Lamb always kept to himself on the subsidiary and after that observed with 6 video games along with a minimum of 11 catches as well as seven activities along with greater than 100 gardens. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Sheep possessed a squabble along with Prescott as well as did not talk with the media after the game. On Tuesday, Sheep was actually regretful as well as said he will be actually better. In the 1st fifty percent alone, he possessed six catches for 94 lawns (both period highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually played 21 games for the Cowboys. He has three field goals of 60 backyards in his career, featuring a 60-yarder in the 3rd quarter against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL document kept through Brett Maher, that produced four with the Cowboys over 2 various jobs. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 yards this time. The rest of the game is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will certainly possess 10 days to prepare yourself for the currently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will certainly assist given that there is still a whole lot that requires to be remedied, despite the gain. Over the last 3 activities, resisting quarterbacks have missed on just 19 successfully pases. Versus the Saints as well as Ravens, that was actually logical because each groups were actually therefore prevalent on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had excessive time to throw for a lot of the activity after earlier being actually tormented due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in 8 games before Thursday. Oh, and also they were punished 9 attend the initial fifty percent alone.-- Todd ArcherNext game: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants maintained it close against the Cowboys, yet they still really did not happen away along with a gain. After last time, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 meetings with the Cowboys, this needs to be viewed as development, right?Sure, there are actually no moral triumphes in the NFL, but this was actually the 3rd organized action in the best path for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The gap, at least relatively, has actually narrowed in between the division competitors. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has succeeded 14 of recent 15 matchups, and Prescott has actually trumped all of them thirteen straight times. The big apple still isn't quite there as yet, but this showed it goes to minimum improving.QB breakdown: Jones was actually reliable, completing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% finalization) for 281 gardens with an interception on a Hail Mary in the last few seconds. But the Giants were actually stayed out of the end region, and Jones was short on the majority of his centered throws. It is actually particularly remarkable considering this was actually an issue early in training school. There was actually a considerable amount of suitable for Jones, however it was almost enough. Jones is accurately playing better given that the opener. Having newbie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 backyards) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving behind the game in the 4th one-fourth with a concussion, Nabers maintained including in his documents. He became the first gamer in NFL past history with at least 25 functions as well as three goals in his 1st four career video games when he saw a 3-yard pass early in the second fourth. He currently possesses 35 events for 386 gardens and also three goals in 4 games.Troubling style: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the closest guardian on four goal passes actually this period, depending on to NFL Next Gen Statistics. Financial institutions was actually trumped once more on Thursday night, this moment by Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the second fourth. The Giants were actually really hoping Banking companies will step into the CB1 role this season. Instead, it has actually been a problem therefore far.Biggest opening in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't able to receive anything using the operating video game against the organization's worst operate self defense. Dallas entered into the competition making it possible for 185.7 yards on the ground per video game. The Giants entered into the game presuming they would have effectiveness yet had just 29 lawns rushing in the first fifty percent-- and they finished with 26 gardens on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
