Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday night's video game, the New York Giants and also Dallas Cowboys discussed final area in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philly Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half goals and confined the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the half. It was a defensive war the remainder of the way, as neither group racked up a goal in the second half.Dallas picked up its 2nd succeed of the season along with an ultimate score of 20-15, yet star edge rush Micah Parsons was actually taken off the area behind time in the video game along with a nigh side ankle/foot injury. He said thereafter that X-rays were damaging as well as he will definitely get an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie recipient Malik Nabers likewise exited the video game in the 4th quarter after suffering a concussion.Here are actually one of the most vital points to recognize from Thursday night for each crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed not speak with the media just before Thursday's activity against the Giants. He stated he would talk "post win." The Cowboys received the win, yet it had not been an artistic beauty. Nonetheless, after Dallas was shamed in next home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was actually acquiring a win on a brief week.Being 2-2 is so much better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it would possess marked the very first time they dropped 3 September games due to the fact that 2001, as well as they will have resided in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, specifically in the very first fifty percent along with goal exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 yards) and also Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The defense eventually quit the operate and tensed at a loss region, keeping the Giants to five area goals.Prescott has right now gained thirteen directly versus the Giants. His last reduction was available in 2016 as a novice. He tied the second-longest win touch by a quarterback against a singular opponent due to the fact that quarterback stats were actually initial tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo grass Expenses thirteen straight times from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Young trumped the Rams 13 right coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely get an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Sheep possesses some sideline issues, the best seems ahead out of him. Throughout in 2014's loss at San Francisco, Sheep always kept to themself on the subsidiary and then adhered to along with 6 activities along with at least 11 catches and 7 activities with greater than 100 lawns. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Lamb possessed a spat along with Prescott and performed not talk with the media after the game. On Tuesday, Lamb was regretful as well as stated he will be actually a lot better. In the 1st half alone, he had six catches for 94 gardens (both period highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 games for the Cowboys. He possesses 3 basket of 60 gardens in his occupation, including a 60-yarder in the 3rd quarter against the Giants. That's one off the NFL document secured through Brett Maher, that made 4 with the Cowboys over two different jobs. Aubrey made a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 gardens this period. The remainder of the game is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys are going to have 10 days to prepare for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will help because there is still a lot that needs to become remedied, even with the win. In the past 3 games, resisting quarterbacks have overlooked on merely 19 successfully pases. Versus the Saints and Ravens, that was reasonable because each crews were actually thus prevalent on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had too much opportunity to toss for a lot of the activity after earlier being actually tormented due to the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend eight games prior to Thursday. Oh, as well as they were penalized nine times in the 1st half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext activity: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants kept it close versus the Cowboys, yet they still really did not happen away along with a win. After last season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their pair of conferences along with the Cowboys, this must be actually viewed as improvement, right?Sure, there are no ethical success in the NFL, yet this was actually the third organized step in the ideal direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, at least to some degree, has limited in between the department opponents. Dallas still has the Giants. It has succeeded 14 of the past 15 competitions, and Prescott has trumped them 13 straight times. The big apple still isn't fairly there yet, yet this showed it goes to least improving.QB breakdown: Jones was actually efficient, completing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% completion) for 281 lawns along with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the last seconds. However the Giants were shut out of completion area, and Jones was short on most of his deep throws. It's especially significant considering this was actually an issue early in training camp. There was actually a considerable amount of suitable for Jones, yet it was almost adequate. Jones is accurately participating in better considering that the opener. Having novice wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 backyards) absolutely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving behind the activity in the 4th one-fourth with a blast, Nabers maintained including in his documents. He came to be the initial player in NFL background with at least 25 celebrations as well as three goals in his very first 4 occupation games when he caught a 3-yard elapsed early in the 2nd fourth. He now possesses 35 functions for 386 lawns as well as three touchdowns in four games.Troubling pattern: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the local defender on four touchdown passes actually this period, according to NFL Next Gen Statistics. Banks was actually trumped once more on Thursday evening, this moment through Sheep for a 55-yard score in the second one-fourth. The Giants were wishing Banking companies would enter the CB1 duty this time. Rather, it has actually been actually a battle thus far.Biggest opening in the strategy: The Giants weren't capable to receive everything going in the operating video game against the league's worst run self defense. Dallas entered the contest allowing 185.7 backyards on the ground per video game. The Giants came into the activity thinking they would certainly possess results yet possessed only 29 gardens rushing in the initial half-- and also they do with 26 backyards on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
