Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering Thursday evening's game, the Nyc Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed final place in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored two first-half goals and confined the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was a defensive war the remainder of the means, as neither team scored a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas got its second succeed of the period with a last credit rating of 20-15, yet celebrity side rusher Micah Parsons was actually taken off the area late in the activity along with a remaining ankle/foot accident. He stated afterward that X-rays were actually adverse and also he will definitely receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie receiver Malik Nabers additionally went out the video game in the fourth quarter after experiencing a concussion.Here are actually the best essential factors to recognize coming from Thursday evening for each crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out not contact the media just before Thursday's activity versus the Giants. He stated he will talk "article win." The Cowboys got the succeed, but it had not been a creative elegance. Nonetheless, after Dallas was shamed in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only factor that mattered was acquiring a gain on a short week.Being 2-2 is a lot far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it will have noted 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 initial half with goal passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 lawns) and also Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The defense lastly ceased the run and also stabilized in the hole region, storing the Giants to 5 field goals.Prescott has actually right now gained thirteen directly against the Giants. His final loss was available in 2016 as a rookie. He linked the second-longest gain touch by a quarterback against a single challenger due to the fact that quarterback stats were actually 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo Bills thirteen direct opportunities coming from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Youthful trumped the Rams 13 directly coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to obtain a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Sheep possesses some sideline issues, the best seems to be to follow out of him. During last year's loss at San Francisco, Lamb kept to themself on the sideline and after that followed along with six games with at the very least 11 catches and 7 video games along with more than 100 yards. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Sheep possessed an altercation along with Prescott as well as did not speak to the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Lamb was apologetic as well as stated he will be much better. In the 1st fifty percent alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 backyards (both time highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually played 21 games for the Cowboys. He has three field goals of 60 backyards in his occupation, including a 60-yarder in the third quarter against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file held by Brett Maher, who produced 4 along with the Cowboys over pair of different jobs. Aubrey created a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 coming from 60 backyards this period. The remainder of the game is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will certainly possess 10 times to prepare yourself for the currently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The time is going to help because there is still a lot that requires to be improved, despite having the succeed. Before 3 activities, resisting quarterbacks have skipped on merely 19 successfully pases. Against the Saints as well as Ravens, that was actually reasonable given that each groups were actually thus prevalent on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had excessive opportunity to throw for much of the activity after previously being tortured due to the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 times in eight video games just before Thursday. Oh, and also they were actually imposed penalty on 9 attend the first fifty percent 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, but they still didn't happen away along with a succeed. After last season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 conferences with the Cowboys, this must be deemed development, right?Sure, there are actually no moral triumphes in the NFL, yet this was the 3rd straight intervene the appropriate path for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The void, at the very least relatively, has actually narrowed between the division competitors. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has succeeded 14 of recent 15 competitions, and Prescott has trumped them thirteen straight opportunities. The big apple still isn't quite there certainly as yet, yet this showed it goes to the very least improving.QB break down: Jones was effective, accomplishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% fulfillment) for 281 yards with an interception on a Hail Mary in the ultimate few seconds. However the Giants were actually stayed out of the end region, and also Jones needed on many of his deep throws. It is actually specifically remarkable considering this was a concern early in training camp. There was a ton of suitable for Jones, however it was actually not quite enough. Jones is actually clearly participating in far better due to the fact that the opener. Possessing novice pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving behind the activity in the fourth one-fourth along with a trauma, Nabers always kept adding to his records. He became the very first player in NFL background along with a minimum of 25 receptions as well as three touchdowns in his first four career games when he got a 3-yard elapsed early in the 2nd one-fourth. He currently has 35 celebrations for 386 yards as well as three touchdowns in four games.Troubling fad: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the local defender on four goal passes presently this season, depending on to NFL Next Gen Statistics. Banks was trumped again on Thursday evening, this moment by Lamb for a 55-yard rating in the second fourth. The Giants were actually wishing Banks will step into the CB1 part this period. As an alternative, it has actually been a problem so far.Biggest gap in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't capable to acquire everything going in the managing game versus the organization's worst operate defense. Dallas entered into the competition permitting 185.7 lawns on the ground per video game. The Giants entered into the activity believing they would certainly possess success yet had just 29 yards rushing in the very first one-half-- and they finished with 26 backyards on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
