Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday night's video game, the The big apple Giants and also Dallas Cowboys discussed last location in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half goals and also limited the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the half. It was actually a defensive fight the rest of the way, as neither crew racked up a touchdown in the second half.Dallas grabbed its own 2nd gain of the season along with a last credit rating of 20-15, yet star side rush Micah Parsons was hauled off the area behind time in the video game along with a left ankle/foot personal injury. He claimed thereafter that X-rays were actually bad as well as he will obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice recipient Malik Nabers also left the video game in the 4th one-fourth after suffering a concussion.Here are the best significant things to understand coming from Thursday evening for each staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out not speak with the media just before Thursday's video game against the Giants. He stated he would talk "blog post succeed." The Cowboys received the succeed, however it had not been an imaginative elegance. Having said that, after Dallas was actually humiliated in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually getting a succeed on a quick week.Being 2-2 is so much far better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys shed, it will possess marked the first time they lost 3 September video games given that 2001, and they would certainly have remained in last place in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, specifically in the very first one-half along with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 gardens) and Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The self defense finally quit the operate and stabilized in the hole region, storing the Giants to five field goals.Prescott has currently gained 13 directly against the Giants. His last loss was available in 2016 as a novice. He linked the second-longest win touch by a quarterback versus a singular rival since quarterback statistics were actually 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Expenses thirteen straight times from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful trumped the Rams thirteen directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will certainly acquire an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Sheep has some sideline issues, the most effective seems to be to follow away from him. In the course of in 2015's loss at San Francisco, Sheep always kept to themself on the side project and then followed along with 6 games along with at least 11 catches as well as 7 activities along with greater than one hundred lawns. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Sheep possessed a spat with Prescott and also performed not speak with the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Lamb was apologetic as well as mentioned he would be actually a lot better. In the 1st half alone, he had six catches for 94 gardens (both season highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He has 3 field goals of 60 gardens in his job, consisting of a 60-yarder in the 3rd quarter versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL file kept through Brett Maher, who made four along with the Cowboys over 2 various assignments. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 coming from 60 yards this season. The remainder of the organization is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will possess 10 times to prepare for the currently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time will certainly assist due to the fact that there is still a lot that needs to have to be corrected, despite the succeed. Before three video games, opposing quarterbacks have actually missed on just 19 elapseds. Versus the Saints and Ravens, that was logical considering that both staffs were actually thus dominant on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had excessive opportunity to throw for much of the game after earlier being actually agonized by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in 8 video games before Thursday. Oh, and also they were penalized nine times in the very 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 kept it close versus the Cowboys, however they still didn't happen away along with a gain. After final period, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 appointments with the Cowboys, this needs to be actually considered as improvement, right?Sure, there are no moral victories in the NFL, but this was the 3rd straight step in the correct direction for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The space, at least relatively, has actually limited in between the department opponents. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually won 14 of recent 15 matchups, and also Prescott has defeated them 13 straight times. The big apple still isn't pretty there yet, yet this verified it's at minimum improving.QB breakdown: Jones was actually dependable, finishing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% fulfillment) for 281 yards with an interception on a Hail Mary in the final few seconds. However the Giants were actually shut out of the end zone, and Jones was short on many of his deep tosses. It is actually specifically noteworthy considering this was actually a complication early in training camp. There was a bunch of good for Jones, yet it was actually not quite sufficient. Jones is accurately playing much better since the opener. Possessing novice pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) absolutely helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the activity in the 4th quarter along with a concussion, Nabers maintained contributing to his reports. He came to be the first gamer in NFL background with a minimum of 25 celebrations as well as three goals in his first four career games when he caught a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second quarter. He right now possesses 35 receptions for 386 backyards as well as three goals in four games.Troubling pattern: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the nearby guardian on four touchdown passes already this season, depending on to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Banks was trumped once more on Thursday evening, this time through Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the second one-fourth. The Giants were really hoping Financial institutions would certainly step into the CB1 role this season. Instead, it has been a problem so far.Biggest opening in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't capable to get just about anything entering the operating activity against the league's worst run defense. Dallas came into the contest enabling 185.7 lawns on the ground every video game. The Giants entered into the activity believing they would certainly possess results but had simply 29 gardens rushing in the first fifty percent-- as well as they finished with 26 backyards on 24 holds.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
