Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday night's activity, the New york city Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed final location in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philly Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half goals and also 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 team scored a touchdown in the second half.Dallas grabbed its own second gain of the season with a final score of 20-15, but star side rusher Micah Parsons was actually carted off the area behind time in the activity with a remaining ankle/foot trauma. He said afterward that X-rays were actually adverse and also he will certainly get an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers likewise went out the activity in the 4th one-fourth after going through a concussion.Here are the best important things to recognize from Thursday night for each teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed not speak to the media prior to Thursday's video game against the Giants. He stated he would communicate "message win." The Cowboys obtained the gain, however it wasn't an artistic elegance. However, after Dallas was actually embarrassed in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only trait that mattered was getting a gain on a brief week.Being 2-2 is actually so much far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it would certainly possess marked the first time they dropped 3 September video games due to the fact that 2001, and they will possess remained in last location in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, particularly in the 1st one-half with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 backyards) and also Rico Dowdle (15 gardens). The defense lastly quit the run as well as tensed in the red zone, storing the Giants to five industry goals.Prescott has actually right now won 13 straight versus the Giants. His final loss came in 2016 as a novice. He connected the second-longest win touch by a quarterback against a singular rival since quarterback statistics were first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo grass Bills thirteen straight opportunities from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful trumped the Rams 13 right from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely acquire a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Lamb possesses some subsidiary issues, the very best seems to be ahead out of him. In the course of in 2013's loss at San Francisco, Lamb kept to themself on the sideline and afterwards adhered to along with six activities with at the very least 11 catches as well as seven activities with much more than one hundred yards. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Lamb had a squabble along with Prescott as well as performed certainly not talk to the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Lamb was apologetic and also claimed he would certainly be much better. In the 1st one-half alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 lawns (both season highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses 3 basket of 60 lawns in his occupation, including a 60-yarder in the third fourth versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL file held through Brett Maher, who made four with the Cowboys over 2 different jobs. Aubrey created a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 yards this period. The rest of the organization is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys will possess 10 times to get ready for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will definitely help given that there is still a great deal that requires to be remedied, despite having the win. Over the last 3 activities, resisting quarterbacks have missed on just 19 elapseds. Versus the Saints as well as Ravens, that was reasonable considering that each staffs were actually so prevalent on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had way too much opportunity to throw for much of the game after previously being tortured due to the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend eight games just before Thursday. Oh, as well as they were imposed penalty on nine times in the first one-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, however they still didn't come away along with a win. After final season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their two meetings with the Cowboys, this must be actually viewed as progress, right?Sure, there are no ethical success in the NFL, yet this was actually the third organized come in the ideal direction for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The space, at the very least to some degree, has actually narrowed between the division competitors. Dallas still owns the Giants. It has actually gained 14 of the past 15 matchups, and also Prescott has actually defeated them thirteen straight times. New York still isn't quite there certainly yet, however this proved it goes to the very least improving.QB breakdown: Jones was actually dependable, completing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% finalization) for 281 gardens with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the final few seconds. However the Giants were kept out of completion region, and Jones was short on most of his deep tosses. It is actually particularly distinctive considering this was a trouble early in training camp. There was a ton of helpful for Jones, but it was actually not quite sufficient. Jones is actually clearly participating in better considering that the opener. Having newbie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 lawns) undoubtedly helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the video game in the 4th one-fourth along with a blast, Nabers always kept including in his records. He ended up being the very first player in NFL past along with at the very least 25 functions as well as three goals in his initial 4 career activities when he found a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second one-fourth. He currently possesses 35 functions for 386 lawns and also three touchdowns in four games.Troubling fad: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the nearby guardian on 4 goal passes presently this period, depending on to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Financial institutions was actually beat once more on Thursday night, this moment by Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the second quarter. The Giants were wishing Banks will enter the CB1 job this season. Rather, it has been a problem thus far.Biggest hole in the game plan: The Giants weren't able to acquire just about anything going in the operating game against the league's worst operate self defense. Dallas entered into the competition allowing 185.7 backyards on the ground per video game. The Giants entered the activity believing they would certainly have excellence but possessed merely 29 gardens rushing in the first one-half-- as well as they finished with 26 backyards on 24 holds.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
