Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday evening's activity, the Nyc Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed final area in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys scored two first-half goals and limited the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the half. It was actually a protective battle the rest of the way, as neither staff scored a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas picked up its own second win of the season along with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, yet superstar edge rush Micah Parsons was taken off the area behind time in the activity with a nigh side ankle/foot injury. He said later that X-rays were actually unfavorable and also he is going to obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers also exited the game in the fourth one-fourth after experiencing a concussion.Here are actually the most vital traits to know coming from Thursday evening for each staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out not speak to the media before Thursday's game against the Giants. He mentioned he would communicate "blog post gain." The Cowboys obtained the gain, yet it wasn't an artistic beauty. However, after Dallas was humiliated in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only factor that mattered was obtaining a win on a short week.Being 2-2 is a lot better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys lost, it would have marked the first time they shed 3 September games since 2001, and also they would have resided in final spot in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, particularly in the very first half along with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 gardens) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 gardens). The protection ultimately quit the operate and stiffened at a loss zone, holding the Giants to five industry goals.Prescott has currently gained thirteen right against the Giants. His last reduction was available in 2016 as a novice. He tied the second-longest gain touch by a quarterback versus a singular rival given that quarterback statistics were first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo Bills 13 straight opportunities coming from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Young beat the Rams thirteen straight coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to acquire a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Lamb possesses some side project concerns, the most ideal seems to come out of him. Throughout last year's loss at San Francisco, Lamb kept to himself on the side project and afterwards adhered to with six video games with a minimum of 11 catches and also seven activities with much more than 100 lawns. In recently's reduction to New Orleans, Sheep possessed a spat with Prescott and carried out not talk with the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Sheep was actually regretful as well as stated he would be actually a lot better. In the very first half alone, he had six catches for 94 yards (both period highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 games for the Cowboys. He possesses three basket of 60 lawns in his occupation, consisting of a 60-yarder in the 3rd one-fourth against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL report kept through Brett Maher, who created four with the Cowboys over 2 various stints. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 yards this time. The rest of the organization is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will certainly have 10 days to get ready for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will definitely help since there is actually still a great deal that needs to become corrected, even with the succeed. Previously three video games, opposing quarterbacks have actually missed on only 19 elapseds. Versus the Saints and Ravens, that was reasonable since each groups were actually therefore 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 due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend 8 video games before Thursday. Oh, and also they were penalized nine times in the first one-half 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, yet they still didn't happen away with a win. After last period, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their pair of meetings along with the Cowboys, this needs to be deemed progression, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical success in the NFL, but this was the third organized action in the appropriate path for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, at least to some degree, has actually tightened in between the division competitors. Dallas still has the Giants. It has succeeded 14 of recent 15 competitions, and Prescott has actually beaten them 13 direct times. New York still isn't rather there yet, but this proved it goes to the very least improving.QB break down: Jones was actually reliable, accomplishing 29 of 40 passes (73% conclusion) for 281 lawns along with an interception on a Hail Mary in the final secs. However the Giants were kept out of completion zone, as well as Jones needed on the majority of his centered throws. It's specifically distinctive considering this was actually a trouble early in training camp. There was a bunch of great for Jones, but it was almost sufficient. Jones is actually clearly playing far better because the opener. Having novice wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving behind the activity in the 4th quarter along with a trauma, Nabers always kept contributing to his documents. He came to be the initial gamer in NFL background along with a minimum of 25 events and three touchdowns in his initial 4 profession video games when he found a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second fourth. He now possesses 35 receptions for 386 gardens and 3 touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling pattern: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the nearby guardian on 4 touchdown passes currently this time, according to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Financial institutions was actually beat once more on Thursday night, this time through Sheep for a 55-yard score in the second fourth. The Giants were wishing Financial institutions would step into the CB1 job this season. As an alternative, it has been actually a battle therefore far.Biggest hole in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't capable to obtain just about anything going in the managing activity versus the organization's worst run protection. Dallas entered into the competition permitting 185.7 gardens on the ground per game. The Giants entered the game believing they will possess excellence but had simply 29 lawns rushing in the first fifty percent-- and they do with 26 yards on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
