Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering into Thursday evening's activity, the New York Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys shared final area in the NFC East at 1-2, a game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up two first-half touchdowns as well as restricted the Giants to 3 basket to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a protective fight the remainder of the means, as neither group racked up a touchdown in the second half.Dallas grabbed its 2nd succeed of the season with a last rating of 20-15, yet star side rusher Micah Parsons was actually ferried off the field late in the activity along with a left side ankle/foot injury. He stated thereafter that X-rays were actually damaging and also he is going to receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie recipient Malik Nabers also went out the game in the fourth quarter after going through a concussion.Here are the most essential points to understand coming from Thursday evening for both staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out not talk with the media before Thursday's game versus the Giants. He claimed he would certainly communicate "article gain." The Cowboys acquired the succeed, yet it had not been an artistic charm. Having said that, after Dallas was humiliated in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually acquiring a win on a brief week.Being 2-2 is a great deal better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys shed, it will possess marked the very first time they dropped 3 September activities because 2001, and they would have remained in final spot in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, specifically in the 1st fifty percent with goal passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 lawns) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 gardens). The defense ultimately ceased the run as well as stiffened in the hole zone, storing the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has actually now gained 13 right versus the Giants. His final reduction came in 2016 as a novice. He tied the second-longest gain touch through a quarterback versus a solitary opponent considering that quarterback stats were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo grass Bills thirteen straight opportunities from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Young defeated the Rams thirteen right coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to acquire a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Sheep has some subsidiary issues, the greatest seems ahead away from him. During the course of in 2013's reduction at San Francisco, Sheep maintained to himself on the sideline and after that observed with 6 games with a minimum of 11 catches and also seven activities along with greater than 100 backyards. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Sheep possessed a spat along with Prescott and performed certainly not speak to the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually apologetic as well as stated he will be actually a lot better. In the initial half alone, he possessed six catches for 94 lawns (both season highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually played 21 games for the Cowboys. He has three field goals of 60 lawns in his job, consisting of a 60-yarder in the 3rd quarter versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL document secured through Brett Maher, that helped make four along with the Cowboys over pair of different assignments. Aubrey created a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 yards this season. The rest of the league is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will definitely have 10 days to prepare yourself for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time will certainly assist given that there is still a lot that requires to become repaired, despite the succeed. In the past three activities, resisting quarterbacks have missed on only 19 passes. Versus the Saints and also Ravens, that was logical given that each teams were actually thus prevalent on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed a lot of opportunity to toss for a lot of the video game after earlier being tormented by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 times in eight video games before Thursday. Oh, and also they were actually punished 9 times in the very first half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext game: 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 come away along with a succeed. After last period, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their pair of conferences along with the Cowboys, this has to be considered as improvement, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical success in the NFL, yet this was actually the 3rd straight step in the best instructions for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The void, at the very least to some extent, has actually tightened between the division opponents. Dallas still owns the Giants. It has won 14 of the past 15 matchups, and also Prescott has defeated all of them thirteen direct times. New York still isn't fairly certainly there as yet, however this proved it's at the very least improving.QB malfunction: Jones was actually reliable, accomplishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% finalization) for 281 gardens with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the ultimate secs. Yet the Giants were actually stayed out of the end area, as well as Jones was short on most of his centered throws. It is actually specifically noteworthy considering this was actually a concern early in training school. There was a lot of great for Jones, but it was not quite sufficient. Jones is actually clearly playing better since the opener. Having novice wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 lawns) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the game in the fourth one-fourth along with a concussion, Nabers always kept contributing to his records. He came to be the initial gamer in NFL history with at the very least 25 events as well as 3 touchdowns in his first four occupation games when he saw a 3-yard elapsed early in the second quarter. He right now possesses 35 events for 386 backyards and 3 touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling pattern: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the local guardian on four goal passes currently this time, according to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Banking companies was beat again on Thursday evening, this time around by Sheep for a 55-yard credit rating in the 2nd one-fourth. The Giants were really hoping Banking companies will enter the CB1 task this time. As an alternative, it has actually been actually a struggle therefore far.Biggest hole in the strategy: The Giants weren't able to receive everything entering the operating video game against the league's worst run protection. Dallas came into the competition allowing 185.7 lawns on the ground every video game. The Giants entered into the game thinking they will have results yet had just 29 yards entering the first one-half-- as well as they do with 26 lawns on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
