Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Going into Thursday night's activity, the The big apple Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys discussed final place in the NFC East at 1-2, a game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys scored pair of first-half touchdowns and restricted the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the half. It was a protective war the rest of the method, as neither group racked up a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas picked up its own 2nd gain of the period with a last rating of 20-15, yet celebrity side rusher Micah Parsons was actually hauled off the industry late in the game along with a nigh side ankle/foot trauma. He pointed out afterward that X-rays were damaging and he will obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie receiver Malik Nabers also went out the activity in the fourth quarter after enduring a concussion.Here are actually one of the most crucial traits to know from Thursday night for both crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did certainly not speak with the media just before Thursday's activity versus the Giants. He mentioned he would certainly talk "article win." The Cowboys acquired the gain, however it wasn't an imaginative charm. However, after Dallas was embarrassed in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was receiving a succeed on a quick week.Being 2-2 is a lot far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys shed, it will have noted the first time they lost three September video games since 2001, and they would possess resided in final place in the NFC East.Prescott was actually sharp, particularly in the initial one-half with goal passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 backyards) and Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The self defense lastly ceased the operate and also stabilized at a loss region, holding the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has right now gained 13 right versus the Giants. His last reduction came in 2016 as a rookie. He connected the second-longest gain streak through a quarterback against a solitary opponent considering that quarterback stats were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo grass Bills thirteen direct times from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Youthful trumped the Rams thirteen directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to obtain an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Lamb has some sideline problems, the most ideal seems to be to follow out of him. During in 2013's loss at San Francisco, Sheep kept to themself on the subsidiary and after that observed along with 6 video games with at the very least 11 catches as well as seven activities along with more than one hundred yards. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Sheep possessed a squabble along with Prescott and also performed not speak to the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Sheep was apologetic and also claimed he would certainly be a lot better. In the 1st one-half alone, he had 6 catches for 94 yards (both time highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He has 3 field goals of 60 yards in his job, including a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL report kept by Brett Maher, who produced 4 along with the Cowboys over two different jobs. Aubrey made a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 yards this season. The rest of the organization is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys are going to have 10 times to prepare for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will help due to the fact that there is still a great deal that needs to have to become corrected, despite having the succeed. Over the last three games, opposing quarterbacks have skipped on merely 19 elapseds. Versus the Saints as well as Ravens, that was easy to understand given that both teams were actually therefore leading on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed a lot of opportunity to toss for a lot of the activity after earlier being agonized due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in 8 games prior to Thursday. Oh, as well as they were imposed penalty on 9 times in the initial one-half 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 versus the Cowboys, but they still didn't come away with a gain. After last season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their two appointments along with the Cowboys, this has to be actually viewed as progress, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical success in the NFL, but this was actually the 3rd straight step in the ideal instructions for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The void, a minimum of relatively, has actually limited between the division opponents. Dallas still owns the Giants. It has gained 14 of recent 15 matchups, and Prescott has actually trumped them 13 direct times. New York still isn't rather certainly there yet, however this confirmed it goes to least improving.QB break down: Jones was actually dependable, completing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% finalization) for 281 yards with an interception on a Hail Mary in the ultimate secs. But the Giants were stayed out of completion area, and also Jones needed on the majority of his centered tosses. It is actually specifically remarkable considering this was a problem early in training camp. There was a ton of good for Jones, but it was actually not quite adequate. Jones is plainly playing better because the opener. Having newbie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 lawns) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving behind the video game in the fourth quarter along with a concussion, Nabers maintained adding to his records. He ended up being the first player in NFL past history with at the very least 25 receptions and also 3 goals in his very first four profession video games when he found a 3-yard pass early in the second fourth. He now possesses 35 celebrations for 386 lawns as well as three touchdowns in four games.Troubling pattern: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the nearby protector on four touchdown passes already this time, depending on to NFL Next Gen Stats. Banks was actually defeated again on Thursday night, this time around through Sheep for a 55-yard credit rating in the 2nd one-fourth. The Giants were really hoping Banks would step into the CB1 job this period. As an alternative, it has been actually a struggle thus far.Biggest gap in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't capable to acquire just about anything going in the managing activity against the game's worst operate self defense. Dallas entered into the competition making it possible for 185.7 gardens on the ground per game. The Giants came into the video game assuming they would certainly have results but possessed simply 29 yards rushing in the very first fifty percent-- as well as they do with 26 backyards on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
