Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering Thursday night's video game, the New york city Giants and also Dallas Cowboys shared last spot in the NFC East at 1-2, a game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half goals and also limited the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was a protective struggle the rest of the way, as neither group racked up a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas picked up its own second win of the time along with a last rating of 20-15, however celebrity side rusher Micah Parsons was carted off the industry late in the video game along with a remaining ankle/foot personal injury. He pointed out thereafter that X-rays were negative and he will receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie recipient Malik Nabers also exited the game in the 4th one-fourth after enduring a concussion.Here are actually the best significant points to understand from Thursday evening for both staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did not speak to the media before Thursday's activity against the Giants. He stated he would certainly speak "post gain." The Cowboys received the win, but it had not been a creative appeal. However, after Dallas was embarrassed in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only trait that mattered was receiving a win on a short week.Being 2-2 is actually a lot better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys shed, it would certainly have noted the very first time they dropped 3 September games because 2001, and they would certainly possess resided in last place in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, particularly in the initial one-half with goal passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 yards) and also Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The self defense eventually ceased the run and tensed in the hole area, storing the Giants to five industry goals.Prescott has now won thirteen directly versus the Giants. His final loss can be found in 2016 as a novice. He connected the second-longest gain streak by a quarterback versus a solitary opponent because quarterback statistics were actually first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo grass Costs thirteen straight times coming from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Youthful trumped the Rams 13 right coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to receive a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Sheep has some sideline problems, the most ideal seems to come out of him. Throughout last year's loss at San Francisco, Sheep maintained to themself on the subsidiary and then adhered to with six games along with at least 11 catches and 7 games along with greater than one hundred lawns. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Sheep possessed an altercation with Prescott and did not contact the media after the game. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually regretful and claimed he would be much better. In the very first half alone, he possessed six catches for 94 yards (both season highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He has 3 field goals of 60 gardens in his profession, featuring a 60-yarder in the 3rd quarter against the Giants. That's one off the NFL document secured through Brett Maher, who helped make four with the Cowboys over pair of different jobs. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder recently against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 gardens this period. The rest of the league is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will possess 10 times to get ready for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time will definitely help because there is still a great deal that needs to have to be fixed, even with the win. Over the last three activities, resisting quarterbacks have missed on only 19 elapseds. Against the Saints and Ravens, that was understandable because each staffs were thus leading on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had way too much time to toss for a lot of the video game after previously being tormented by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 times in eight activities just before Thursday. Oh, and they were actually punished nine attend the very 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 maintained it close versus the Cowboys, but they still didn't happen away with a gain. After final time, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their two appointments with the Cowboys, this has to be considered as development, right?Sure, there are actually no moral success in the NFL, but this was the 3rd organized intervene the right direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The void, a minimum of to some extent, has tightened between the division rivals. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually won 14 of the past 15 matches, and Prescott has defeated all of them thirteen straight opportunities. New york city still isn't rather certainly there as yet, however this showed it goes to least improving.QB break down: Jones was effective, finishing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% conclusion) for 281 gardens with an interception on a Hail Mary in the ultimate seconds. Yet the Giants were shut out of the end zone, and Jones was short on many of his centered tosses. It's specifically significant considering this was a problem early in training camp. There was a ton of helpful for Jones, but it was actually not quite adequate. Jones is precisely playing much better because the opener. Possessing rookie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) absolutely helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the game in the fourth one-fourth with a trauma, Nabers maintained contributing to his reports. He came to be the 1st player in NFL record along with at least 25 receptions as well as three touchdowns in his initial four career games when he caught a 3-yard elapsed early in the 2nd quarter. He currently possesses 35 receptions for 386 gardens and also 3 goals in four games.Troubling fad: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the local protector on four goal passes actually this season, depending on to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Banking companies was defeated again on Thursday night, this moment by Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the 2nd one-fourth. The Giants were wishing Financial institutions would certainly step into the CB1 task this time. As an alternative, it has been a struggle so far.Biggest opening in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to acquire just about anything going in the operating video game versus the organization's worst run protection. Dallas entered into the competition enabling 185.7 yards on the ground every video game. The Giants entered into the activity believing they will possess effectiveness however had only 29 backyards rushing in the initial half-- and they finished with 26 gardens on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
