Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday night's game, the Nyc Giants and also Dallas Cowboys discussed last area in the NFC East at 1-2, a game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored two first-half goals as well as limited the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a protective war the rest of the way, as neither crew scored a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its second win of the time along with a last credit rating of 20-15, yet star side rusher Micah Parsons was brought off the industry behind time in the video game along with a left side ankle/foot personal injury. He said subsequently that X-rays were actually unfavorable and also he will certainly obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie recipient Malik Nabers also left the game in the fourth one-fourth after suffering a concussion.Here are one of the most important traits to understand coming from Thursday night for both teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did certainly not speak to the media prior to Thursday's video game versus the Giants. He claimed he will talk "article win." The Cowboys received the gain, yet it had not been a creative elegance. Having said that, after Dallas was actually humiliated in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was obtaining a win on a quick week.Being 2-2 is actually a great deal far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys lost, it would have denoted the first time they dropped three September video games because 2001, as well as they would certainly have been in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, especially in the first one-half with goal passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 backyards) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The self defense ultimately stopped the run and tensed at a loss area, storing the Giants to five industry goals.Prescott has right now won 13 right versus the Giants. His last loss can be found in 2016 as a rookie. He connected the second-longest win touch by a quarterback versus a solitary opponent considering that quarterback statistics were 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo Bills thirteen direct times from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Young beat the Rams 13 right coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to get a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Sheep has some side project issues, the very best seems to come away from him. During in 2014's loss at San Francisco, Sheep maintained to themself on the side project and afterwards observed with six activities with a minimum of 11 catches as well as seven video games with much more than one hundred lawns. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb had a spat along with Prescott and did not contact the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Sheep was actually apologetic and stated he would certainly be actually better. In the first fifty percent alone, he had six catches for 94 backyards (both season highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually played 21 games for the Cowboys. He has 3 field goals of 60 gardens in his career, featuring a 60-yarder in the 3rd quarter against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file held by Brett Maher, who created four along with the Cowboys over 2 various stints. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder recently against the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 coming from 60 lawns this period. The rest of the league is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will definitely have 10 times to prepare yourself for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will certainly help given that there is actually still a great deal that needs to have to become improved, despite having the gain. In the past three video games, resisting quarterbacks have actually skipped on only 19 passes. Versus the Saints and Ravens, that was understandable given that each teams were actually so leading on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed too much opportunity to toss for a lot of the game after earlier being agonized by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend eight games before Thursday. Oh, as well as they were actually penalized 9 times in the initial 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 kept it close against the Cowboys, however they still failed to happen away along with a gain. After last period, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two conferences with the Cowboys, this has to be viewed as development, right?Sure, there are actually no moral victories in the NFL, however this was actually the third straight intervene the best path for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The space, at least relatively, has actually narrowed between the branch opponents. Dallas still owns the Giants. It has actually gained 14 of the past 15 competitions, and also Prescott has actually defeated all of them 13 direct times. New York still isn't fairly there certainly yet, but this showed it goes to least improving.QB breakdown: Jones was dependable, finishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% completion) for 281 lawns along with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the final seconds. However the Giants were actually shut out of completion zone, and Jones needed on many of his deep throws. It's specifically notable considering this was actually an issue early in training school. There was actually a lot of helpful for Jones, however it was almost sufficient. Jones is actually precisely participating in far better due to the fact that the opener. Possessing rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) absolutely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the activity in the 4th quarter with a blast, Nabers kept adding to his files. He came to be the 1st gamer in NFL record with at least 25 events as well as three goals in his very first 4 occupation games when he caught a 3-yard elapsed early in the second one-fourth. He currently has 35 receptions for 386 backyards and three touchdowns in four games.Troubling trend: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been the closest guardian on 4 touchdown passes currently this period, depending on to NFL Next Generation Stats. Financial institutions was defeated once again on Thursday evening, this moment through Lamb for a 55-yard rating in the 2nd fourth. The Giants were actually really hoping Banks will enter the CB1 task this period. Rather, it has been a problem so far.Biggest gap in the strategy: The Giants weren't able to get everything going in the operating video game versus the league's worst run self defense. Dallas entered the contest permitting 185.7 yards on the ground every activity. The Giants entered into the video game presuming they would certainly have effectiveness however possessed just 29 lawns entering the 1st fifty percent-- and also they finished with 26 gardens on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
