Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Going into Thursday evening's game, the Nyc Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed last location in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half touchdowns and limited the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the half. It was actually a protective struggle the remainder of the method, as neither group scored a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its own 2nd win of the season with a last credit rating of 20-15, but star edge rush Micah Parsons was ferried off the area late in the activity along with a nigh side ankle/foot personal injury. He stated later that X-rays were actually bad and also he will get an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie recipient Malik Nabers additionally left the video game in the 4th quarter after experiencing a concussion.Here are the best essential things to know coming from Thursday night for each crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did not talk to the media just before Thursday's activity against the Giants. He stated he would speak "blog post win." The Cowboys got the gain, yet it had not been an imaginative appeal. Nonetheless, after Dallas was actually shamed in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was obtaining a win on a short week.Being 2-2 is actually a lot better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys lost, it will possess noted the very first time they dropped 3 September video games because 2001, and also they would possess resided in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, specifically in the first one-half with goal passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 yards) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The defense lastly ceased the run and tensed in the hole region, keeping the Giants to five field goals.Prescott has actually currently gained thirteen straight against the Giants. His last reduction came in 2016 as a newbie. He linked the second-longest win touch by a quarterback against a single enemy considering that quarterback stats were 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo Costs thirteen straight times coming from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Youthful trumped the Rams thirteen directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely obtain an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Sheep has some subsidiary concerns, the best appears to find out of him. In the course of in 2014's reduction at San Francisco, Lamb always kept to themself on the side project and after that followed with six video games with at the very least 11 catches and also 7 activities with greater than one hundred lawns. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Sheep had an altercation with Prescott as well as performed certainly not talk to the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually apologetic as well as claimed he would certainly be actually a lot better. In the initial fifty percent alone, he had six catches for 94 yards (both time highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses 3 basket of 60 yards in his profession, including a 60-yarder in the 3rd one-fourth versus the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL document secured through Brett Maher, that created four along with the Cowboys over 2 different assignments. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 lawns this time. The remainder of the league is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys are going to possess 10 times to prepare for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time is going to assist due to the fact that there is still a great deal that needs to have to become dealt with, despite having the succeed. Before 3 activities, opposing quarterbacks have overlooked on only 19 passes. Versus the Saints and Ravens, that was actually understandable given that both groups were actually so leading on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed way too much time to toss for much of the game after previously being actually tortured by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend 8 video games before Thursday. Oh, as well as they were actually penalized 9 times in the initial fifty percent alone.-- Todd ArcherNext game: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants maintained it close against the Cowboys, but they still really did not come away along with a succeed. After final period, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two appointments along with the Cowboys, this has to be viewed as progression, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical victories in the NFL, however this was actually the third organized step in the right instructions for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The gap, at least to some degree, has limited between the division opponents. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has gained 14 of recent 15 matches, as well as Prescott has actually trumped them 13 direct times. New york city still isn't very there certainly as yet, yet this confirmed it goes to the very least improving.QB breakdown: Jones was efficient, accomplishing 29 of 40 passes (73% completion) for 281 yards with an interception on a Hail Mary in the ultimate few seconds. But the Giants were actually shut out of completion region, and Jones needed on a lot of his centered throws. It is actually especially remarkable considering this was an issue early in training school. There was a great deal of good for Jones, but it was actually not quite enough. Jones is plainly playing much better since the opener. Having rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving behind the activity in the fourth one-fourth with a trauma, Nabers always kept adding to his reports. He became the 1st gamer in NFL history with a minimum of 25 events as well as three touchdowns in his first 4 occupation games when he saw a 3-yard pass early in the 2nd quarter. He now has 35 receptions for 386 backyards as well as 3 touchdowns in four games.Troubling style: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the nearest defender on four goal passes presently this season, according to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Banks was beat once again on Thursday evening, this moment by Lamb for a 55-yard rating in the 2nd one-fourth. The Giants were actually wishing Banks will step into the CB1 function this period. Instead, it has actually been a battle so far.Biggest opening in the strategy: The Giants weren't capable to acquire anything using the running activity versus the organization's worst run self defense. Dallas entered into the competition making it possible for 185.7 yards on the ground per video game. The Giants entered into the game assuming they would certainly possess results yet had only 29 lawns entering the initial fifty percent-- as well as they do with 26 backyards on 24 brings.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
