Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering Thursday night's game, the The big apple Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed final area in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored pair of first-half touchdowns and restricted the Giants to 3 basket to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a protective struggle the rest of the way, as neither group racked up a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas picked up its own 2nd succeed of the period along with a final rating of 20-15, however star side rush Micah Parsons was actually brought off the field behind time in the video game along with a left side ankle/foot injury. He said thereafter that X-rays were actually negative and he will definitely receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie receiver Malik Nabers likewise left the game in the 4th one-fourth after suffering a concussion.Here are the best significant points to understand coming from Thursday night for each teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did certainly not talk with the media prior to Thursday's video game against the Giants. He said he would communicate "message win." The Cowboys received the win, but it had not been an imaginative elegance. Nonetheless, after Dallas was actually shamed in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually obtaining a gain on a brief week.Being 2-2 is a great deal better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys lost, it would possess denoted the very first time they lost three September activities due to the fact that 2001, and also they would have been in final place in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, particularly in the very first one-half with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 yards) and Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The defense ultimately quit the operate and also stiffened at a loss area, storing the Giants to five area goals.Prescott has actually now won thirteen right against the Giants. His final loss was available in 2016 as a novice. He tied the second-longest gain streak by a quarterback against a singular rival considering that quarterback stats were actually very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo grass Costs thirteen straight opportunities from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Young beat the Rams thirteen straight from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely receive a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Lamb has some side project problems, the very best seems to follow away from him. During the course of in 2015's loss at San Francisco, Sheep kept to themself on the sideline and afterwards observed with six activities along with at least 11 catches and seven games along with more than one hundred lawns. In recently's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb had a squabble along with Prescott and also carried out certainly not speak with the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Sheep was actually apologetic and stated he would certainly be a lot better. In the very first one-half alone, he had 6 catches for 94 lawns (both season highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He possesses three basket of 60 backyards in his profession, featuring a 60-yarder in the third quarter against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file held through Brett Maher, that produced four along with the Cowboys over pair of various assignments. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 yards this time. The rest of the league is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys are going to have 10 times to get ready for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The time is going to assist because there is still a lot that needs to have to be repaired, despite the win. Over the last 3 video games, opposing quarterbacks have actually skipped on just 19 passes. Against the Saints and Ravens, that was actually easy to understand given that each crews were thus prevalent on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed too much opportunity to toss for much of the game after earlier being agonized by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend eight games just before Thursday. Oh, and they were actually penalized nine times in the very first one-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 against the Cowboys, yet they still failed to come away with a win. After final time, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two conferences along with the Cowboys, this must be considered as progression, right?Sure, there are no moral victories in the NFL, but this was the third organized step in the ideal direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The gap, a minimum of to some extent, has actually tightened between the department opponents. Dallas still owns the Giants. It has gained 14 of the past 15 matches, and Prescott has actually trumped all of them thirteen direct opportunities. New york city still isn't pretty there yet, but this verified it's at the very least improving.QB breakdown: Jones was reliable, finishing 29 of 40 passes (73% fulfillment) for 281 yards along with an interception on a Hail Mary in the final secs. Yet the Giants were kept out of completion zone, and also Jones was short on the majority of his deep throws. It's particularly noteworthy considering this was a complication early in training camp. There was actually a considerable amount of suitable for Jones, but it was actually not quite adequate. Jones is accurately playing much better since the opener. Having newbie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 lawns) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving behind the video game in the fourth quarter along with a trauma, Nabers maintained including in his documents. He became the initial player in NFL past along with at the very least 25 celebrations and also 3 goals in his initial 4 occupation games when he saw a 3-yard successfully pass early in the 2nd one-fourth. He right now possesses 35 functions for 386 yards as well as 3 touchdowns in four games.Troubling style: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the closest protector on 4 touchdown passes currently this period, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. Banking companies was actually trumped once more on Thursday night, this time around through Sheep for a 55-yard score in the second quarter. The Giants were actually hoping Banks will enter the CB1 task this season. As an alternative, it has been a problem so far.Biggest hole in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't able to receive everything going in the managing activity against the organization's worst run self defense. Dallas entered into the contest making it possible for 185.7 gardens on the ground per game. The Giants came into the activity believing they would possess results yet had just 29 yards rushing in the first fifty percent-- and also they completed with 26 gardens on 24 brings.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
