Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering Thursday evening's game, the New York Giants and also Dallas Cowboys shared last place in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philly Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half touchdowns and also restricted the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was actually a defensive battle the remainder of the means, as neither crew racked up a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its own 2nd succeed of the season along with an ultimate rating of 20-15, but celebrity side rush Micah Parsons was ferried off the field behind time in the video game along with a left ankle/foot accident. He claimed subsequently that X-rays were negative and he will definitely receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie receiver Malik Nabers also left the game in the fourth quarter after going through a concussion.Here are the best significant things to understand coming from Thursday night for each crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed certainly not talk to the media prior to Thursday's activity versus the Giants. He mentioned he will talk "article succeed." The Cowboys received the gain, but it wasn't a creative elegance. Nevertheless, after Dallas was shamed in next home losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only factor that mattered was actually receiving a gain on a brief week.Being 2-2 is a lot better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys shed, it would have noted the first time they lost three September games since 2001, as well as they would certainly have been in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, particularly in the very first half along with goal exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 yards) and Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The protection eventually stopped the run and also stabilized in the red zone, holding the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has now gained thirteen directly versus the Giants. His final loss came in 2016 as a novice. He tied the second-longest win touch by a quarterback versus a singular opponent because quarterback statistics were first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo grass Expenses 13 direct times from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful beat the Rams thirteen directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will receive a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Lamb possesses some side project problems, the greatest appears to come away from him. During the course of in 2015's reduction at San Francisco, Sheep always kept to themself on the sideline and afterwards followed with six games with a minimum of 11 catches as well as 7 games with more than 100 lawns. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Sheep had an altercation along with Prescott as well as did not talk to the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Lamb was apologetic and stated he will be much better. In the initial half alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 yards (both time highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 ready the Cowboys. He has three field goals of 60 gardens in his job, consisting of a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL report held by Brett Maher, that produced four along with the Cowboys over pair of various assignments. Aubrey created a 60-yarder recently against the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 gardens this time. The rest of the league is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys will have 10 times to prepare for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time will definitely aid because there is still a great deal that requires to be dealt with, even with the succeed. Over the last 3 video games, opposing quarterbacks have missed on merely 19 elapseds. Against the Saints as well as Ravens, that was actually understandable given that each crews were so prevalent on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had a lot of time to toss for a lot of the activity after earlier being tormented due to the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend eight video games just before Thursday. Oh, and they were actually punished 9 attend the 1st one-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 against the Cowboys, yet they still didn't happen away with a gain. After final time, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 conferences along with the Cowboys, this has to be deemed improvement, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical success in the NFL, yet this was the third organized action in the appropriate direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, at least relatively, has actually narrowed in between the division opponents. Dallas still has the Giants. It has won 14 of recent 15 matches, and also Prescott has beaten them thirteen direct opportunities. Nyc still isn't pretty certainly there as yet, yet this proved it's at least improving.QB malfunction: Jones was actually reliable, finishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% finalization) for 281 gardens with an interception on a Hail Mary in the last few seconds. However the Giants were actually shut out of completion zone, as well as Jones needed on a lot of his centered tosses. It is actually specifically notable considering this was actually an issue early in training school. There was a bunch of suitable for Jones, however it was actually not quite adequate. Jones is plainly playing better given that the opener. Possessing novice pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) undoubtedly helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the activity in the 4th one-fourth along with a blast, Nabers always kept contributing to his reports. He became the initial gamer in NFL background along with at least 25 celebrations and 3 goals in his initial 4 career video games when he got a 3-yard elapsed early in the 2nd quarter. He now possesses 35 events for 386 backyards and also 3 touchdowns in four games.Troubling pattern: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been the local protector on four touchdown passes currently this season, depending on to NFL Next Generation Stats. Banks was actually beat again on Thursday evening, this moment through Sheep for a 55-yard credit rating in the 2nd one-fourth. The Giants were hoping Financial institutions would certainly step into the CB1 function this period. Rather, it has actually been a battle therefore far.Biggest opening in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't capable to acquire everything going in the managing game versus the organization's worst operate protection. Dallas entered the contest enabling 185.7 gardens on the ground every game. The Giants entered into the game assuming they would have excellence yet had simply 29 gardens rushing in the 1st fifty percent-- as well as they do with 26 gardens on 24 brings.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
