Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday evening's activity, the New york city Giants and Dallas Cowboys shared last area in the NFC East at 1-2, a game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored two first-half goals and restricted the Giants to 3 basket to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was a protective battle the rest of the method, as neither group scored a touchdown in the second half.Dallas got its second gain of the time along with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, yet star side rush Micah Parsons was actually brought off the industry behind time in the video game along with a remaining ankle/foot injury. He mentioned afterward that X-rays were damaging and he will certainly acquire an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers likewise left the video game in the 4th quarter after experiencing a concussion.Here are the absolute most necessary traits to know from Thursday evening for both groups: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out certainly not talk to the media just before Thursday's activity versus the Giants. He mentioned he would communicate "post win." The Cowboys got the succeed, but it wasn't an artistic elegance. However, after Dallas was embarrassed in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually acquiring a succeed on a short week.Being 2-2 is actually a great deal better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys shed, it would certainly possess marked the very first time they shed three September games given that 2001, and they would certainly have resided in final place in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, particularly in the 1st half with goal exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 gardens) and also Rico Dowdle (15 gardens). The defense lastly stopped the run as well as tensed in the red zone, storing the Giants to five area goals.Prescott has now gained thirteen straight versus the Giants. His last reduction came in 2016 as a novice. He tied the second-longest win streak through a quarterback versus a singular opponent because quarterback stats were first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo Costs thirteen straight opportunities coming from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Young defeated the Rams thirteen directly coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will obtain a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Sheep possesses some side project problems, the most effective seems to be ahead away from him. In the course of last year's loss at San Francisco, Lamb always kept to themself on the sideline and afterwards followed with 6 video games with at the very least 11 catches and also seven games with much more than one hundred backyards. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb possessed an altercation along with Prescott as well as carried out not contact the media after the game. On Tuesday, Sheep was actually apologetic and said he will be much better. In the very first fifty percent alone, he had 6 catches for 94 backyards (both season highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 ready the Cowboys. He has 3 basket of 60 lawns in his occupation, featuring a 60-yarder in the third quarter against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file kept through Brett Maher, who made 4 with the Cowboys over two different jobs. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 yards this time. The remainder of the league is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys are going to have 10 times to prepare yourself for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will certainly aid given that there is still a whole lot that needs to become fixed, despite having the win. Previously 3 games, opposing quarterbacks have actually skipped on merely 19 successfully pases. Against the Saints and also Ravens, that was easy to understand since each crews were actually thus leading on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had too much time to toss for much of the video game after formerly being actually tortured by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 times in eight activities prior to Thursday. Oh, as well as they were punished 9 attend the very first one-half 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, yet they still didn't come away with a win. After final season, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their 2 meetings along with the Cowboys, this must be considered as progress, right?Sure, there are no ethical victories in the NFL, but this was actually the third organized intervene the correct path for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The gap, at least to some extent, has actually narrowed in between the division rivals. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has succeeded 14 of the past 15 matchups, and also Prescott has defeated all of them 13 straight opportunities. Nyc still isn't rather there yet, however this showed it goes to minimum improving.QB failure: Jones was actually effective, completing 29 of 40 passes (73% conclusion) for 281 lawns along with an interception on a Hail Mary in the last secs. Yet the Giants were shut out of the end area, and Jones needed on a lot of his centered throws. It's specifically notable considering this was actually a concern early in training camp. There was a bunch of suitable for Jones, but it was actually almost enough. Jones is accurately participating in better due to the fact that the opener. Having rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving behind the activity in the fourth one-fourth with a blast, Nabers kept contributing to his reports. He became the very first gamer in NFL history with at the very least 25 events and also three goals in his 1st 4 occupation games when he got a 3-yard successfully pass early in the 2nd one-fourth. He right now possesses 35 functions for 386 backyards and also three touchdowns in four games.Troubling fad: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the nearby protector on 4 touchdown passes actually this period, depending on to NFL Next Gen Stats. Banking companies was beat once more on Thursday evening, this moment by Lamb for a 55-yard rating in the 2nd one-fourth. The Giants were hoping Banks would step into the CB1 function this season. Instead, it has been actually a struggle thus far.Biggest gap in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to receive everything going in the running activity versus the league's worst operate self defense. Dallas came into the competition enabling 185.7 gardens on the ground per activity. The Giants entered into the activity assuming they would certainly possess excellence but had simply 29 gardens rushing in the first fifty percent-- and they do with 26 lawns on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
