Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Going into Thursday evening's game, the Nyc Giants and also Dallas Cowboys shared last place in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philly Eagles.The Cowboys racked up two first-half goals and confined the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was a defensive battle the rest of the technique, as neither group scored a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas picked up its second win of the period along with a final score of 20-15, however star side rush Micah Parsons was ferried off the field behind time in the activity with a remaining ankle/foot injury. He said later that X-rays were actually adverse and he will definitely acquire an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice recipient Malik Nabers likewise exited the activity in the fourth one-fourth after suffering a concussion.Here are actually one of the most essential traits to understand coming from Thursday evening for each staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did not talk with the media before Thursday's video game against the Giants. He said he would certainly talk "message gain." The Cowboys acquired the gain, however it had not been a creative appeal. Nevertheless, after Dallas was shamed in next home losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was obtaining a win on a short week.Being 2-2 is a great deal better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys lost, it will have noted the very first time they lost 3 September activities since 2001, and they will possess been in last spot in the NFC East.Prescott was actually sharp, especially in the initial one-half with goal exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 gardens) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 gardens). The self defense eventually ceased the run as well as stabilized in the hole zone, keeping the Giants to 5 industry goals.Prescott has actually now won 13 directly against the Giants. His final loss was available in 2016 as a newbie. He tied the second-longest win streak through a quarterback versus a single enemy since quarterback statistics were first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo Expenses thirteen straight opportunities coming from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Young trumped the Rams 13 directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will get a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Sheep has some subsidiary problems, the most ideal appears to find out of him. During in 2013's reduction at San Francisco, Lamb always kept to themself on the sideline and after that followed along with 6 activities with at least 11 catches and 7 activities with much more than one hundred backyards. In recently's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb possessed an altercation along with Prescott as well as did certainly not contact the media after the game. On Tuesday, Sheep was regretful as well as said he will be actually much better. In the 1st fifty percent alone, he possessed six catches for 94 yards (both season highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 ready the Cowboys. He has three basket of 60 backyards in his profession, including a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file held by Brett Maher, who produced four along with the Cowboys over 2 different stints. Aubrey created a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 gardens this period. The rest of the league is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will certainly have 10 times to get ready for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will certainly help given that there is still a whole lot that requires to be fixed, even with the gain. Previously three video games, opposing quarterbacks have overlooked on just 19 passes. Against the Saints and also Ravens, that was reasonable given that each crews were actually therefore leading on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had too much opportunity to throw for a lot of the video game after recently being tormented due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend eight activities prior to Thursday. Oh, as well as they were actually penalized nine attend the first half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext video game: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants maintained it close versus the Cowboys, yet they still really did not come away with a win. After final period, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their 2 appointments with the Cowboys, this has to be actually viewed as development, right?Sure, there are no moral triumphes in the NFL, but this was the 3rd organized step in the best path for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The void, at the very least to some extent, has actually limited between the branch competitors. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has actually gained 14 of recent 15 competitions, and also Prescott has actually trumped all of them thirteen straight times. New York still isn't pretty there certainly yet, however this proved it's at least improving.QB malfunction: Jones was actually efficient, finishing 29 of 40 passes (73% completion) for 281 backyards with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the last few seconds. However the Giants were shut out of completion area, as well as Jones was short on a lot of his centered throws. It is actually specifically notable considering this was actually a trouble early in training camp. There was actually a considerable amount of suitable for Jones, but it was almost sufficient. Jones is precisely playing far better considering that the opener. Possessing newbie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the video game in the 4th one-fourth along with a concussion, Nabers kept adding to his records. He became the 1st gamer in NFL past history with a minimum of 25 celebrations as well as three goals in his 1st four occupation video games when he saw a 3-yard elapsed early in the 2nd one-fourth. He currently possesses 35 events for 386 gardens and 3 goals in four games.Troubling fad: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the closest guardian on four touchdown passes presently this season, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. Banking companies was actually trumped once more on Thursday night, this moment by Lamb for a 55-yard credit rating in the second fourth. The Giants were actually really hoping Banks will enter the CB1 role this period. As an alternative, it has actually been actually a battle so far.Biggest hole in the game plan: The Giants weren't capable to receive just about anything using the operating activity against the league's worst run defense. Dallas entered into the competition permitting 185.7 gardens on the ground every game. The Giants entered into the video game assuming they would possess effectiveness but possessed just 29 lawns rushing in the 1st fifty percent-- as well as they finished with 26 lawns on 24 brings.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
