Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering into Thursday night's activity, the The big apple Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys shared last location in the NFC East at 1-2, a game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys scored pair of 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 way, as neither team scored a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its own 2nd succeed of the time along with an ultimate score of 20-15, yet star side rush Micah Parsons was ferried off the area late in the video game along with a nigh side ankle/foot personal injury. He mentioned later that X-rays were actually adverse as well as he is going to get an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice recipient Malik Nabers likewise exited the activity in the 4th one-fourth after experiencing a concussion.Here are one of the most crucial things to recognize from Thursday night for both staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed certainly not talk with the media before Thursday's video game against the Giants. He stated he will speak "blog post succeed." The Cowboys got the succeed, yet it had not been a creative appeal. However, after Dallas was embarrassed in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was getting a gain on a quick week.Being 2-2 is actually a great deal better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys shed, it will possess denoted the very first time they shed 3 September activities due to the fact that 2001, and they would certainly possess remained in final place in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, especially in the 1st one-half along with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 backyards) and also Rico Dowdle (15 gardens). The defense ultimately quit the run and also stiffened in the red zone, storing the Giants to 5 industry goals.Prescott has right now won thirteen right against the Giants. His last reduction was available in 2016 as a rookie. He linked the second-longest win streak by a quarterback versus a solitary opponent since quarterback statistics were 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo Expenses 13 straight opportunities from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Young beat the Rams 13 right from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely acquire a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Sheep possesses some sideline problems, the greatest appears to come out of him. During the course of in 2014's loss at San Francisco, Lamb always kept to themself on the subsidiary and after that adhered to with six video games along with a minimum of 11 catches as well as seven games with greater than 100 yards. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Sheep possessed a spat along with Prescott and also carried out not speak with the media after the game. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually apologetic and also mentioned he will be actually better. In the very first half alone, he had six catches for 94 gardens (both time highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He has three basket of 60 backyards in his job, including a 60-yarder in the third quarter against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL report held by Brett Maher, who created 4 along with the Cowboys over 2 different jobs. Aubrey created a 60-yarder recently against the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 backyards this time. The remainder of the organization is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys are going to have 10 times to prepare yourself for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment is going to help due to the fact that there is still a whole lot that needs to be dealt with, even with the gain. Over the last 3 games, resisting quarterbacks have skipped on only 19 elapseds. Against the Saints and also Ravens, that was actually logical given that each teams were actually thus dominant on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had too much time to throw for a lot of the game after earlier being actually tortured by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 times in 8 activities prior to Thursday. Oh, and they were punished nine times in the very first 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, but they still failed to come away along with a succeed. After final time, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their pair of conferences with the Cowboys, this has to be actually considered as development, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical success in the NFL, but this was the third organized come in the ideal path for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The void, at least to some extent, has actually limited in between the department rivals. Dallas still has the Giants. It has gained 14 of recent 15 matchups, and also Prescott has defeated all of them thirteen direct opportunities. The big apple still isn't fairly there certainly yet, however this verified it's at minimum improving.QB malfunction: Jones was actually reliable, finishing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% finalization) for 281 gardens with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the last secs. Yet the Giants were stayed out of completion zone, and also Jones needed on many of his deep tosses. It is actually specifically significant considering this was a concern early in training school. There was a great deal of helpful for Jones, but it was not quite sufficient. Jones is plainly playing far better due to the fact that the opener. Having newbie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving behind the game in the fourth quarter with a concussion, Nabers kept contributing to his files. He came to be the initial gamer in NFL past along with at least 25 events and 3 goals in his 1st four profession activities when he caught a 3-yard pass early in the 2nd one-fourth. He right now has 35 events for 386 backyards and three goals in four games.Troubling fad: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the closest guardian on four goal passes already this season, according to NFL Next Gen Statistics. Financial institutions was beat once again on Thursday evening, this moment through Lamb for a 55-yard score in the 2nd fourth. The Giants were hoping Banks will enter the CB1 task this season. Instead, it has actually been a struggle therefore far.Biggest hole in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to receive everything going in the running video game versus the league's worst operate self defense. Dallas entered into the contest making it possible for 185.7 yards on the ground per activity. The Giants came into the game presuming they will have results however had merely 29 gardens entering the 1st half-- as well as they completed with 26 backyards on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
