Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering Thursday evening's video game, the The big apple Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed final location in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys scored 2 first-half touchdowns and restricted the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the half. It was a defensive struggle the remainder of the technique, as neither staff racked up a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas picked up its own second win of the period along with a final score of 20-15, however celebrity edge rusher Micah Parsons was brought off the area late in the game with a left ankle/foot accident. He mentioned subsequently that X-rays were actually negative as well as he will obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie recipient Malik Nabers additionally left the activity in the fourth quarter after going through a concussion.Here are one of the most vital factors to recognize coming from Thursday evening for each staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed certainly not speak with the media before Thursday's activity against the Giants. He stated he would speak "article succeed." The Cowboys obtained the succeed, however it wasn't an artistic elegance. However, after Dallas was humiliated in next home losses to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only trait that mattered was getting a succeed on a short week.Being 2-2 is so much better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys shed, it would possess noted the first time they shed three September games since 2001, and also they would certainly have been in last place in the NFC East.Prescott was actually sharp, especially in the initial fifty percent with goal passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 yards) and Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The protection finally ceased the operate and also stiffened in the hole area, keeping the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has actually now won thirteen straight versus the Giants. His final loss was available in 2016 as a novice. He connected the second-longest gain touch through a quarterback against a solitary opponent because quarterback statistics were first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo Expenses thirteen direct times from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Youthful defeated the Rams thirteen directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will certainly get an odds at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Sheep has some side project problems, the most ideal seems to follow away from him. During the course of in 2014's loss at San Francisco, Lamb maintained to himself on the subsidiary and then followed along with 6 video games along with at least 11 catches as well as seven video games with much more than one hundred yards. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Sheep had an altercation with Prescott and did not contact the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Lamb was regretful and mentioned he will be a lot better. In the 1st half alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 yards (both season highs) and also a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses three basket of 60 gardens in his occupation, consisting of a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL document held by Brett Maher, that created 4 along with the Cowboys over two various stints. Aubrey made a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 backyards 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 prepare for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will aid due to the fact that there is actually still a great deal that needs to be remedied, even with the succeed. In the past 3 games, opposing quarterbacks have missed on just 19 elapseds. Against the Saints and also Ravens, that was actually understandable considering that both crews were so prevalent on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed way too much time to throw for much of the video game after previously being tormented due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in 8 video games prior to Thursday. Oh, and they were actually punished 9 attend the first fifty percent alone.-- Todd ArcherNext 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, yet they still really did not happen away with a succeed. After last period, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 appointments along with the Cowboys, this must be actually deemed progress, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical victories in the NFL, yet this was actually the third straight action in the best path for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, a minimum of relatively, has limited between the department opponents. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually won 14 of recent 15 matchups, as well as Prescott has trumped them 13 direct opportunities. The big apple still isn't very there as yet, but this showed it's at least improving.QB break down: Jones was dependable, completing 29 of 40 passes (73% finalization) for 281 backyards along with an interception on a Hail Mary in the ultimate few seconds. However the Giants were actually stayed out of completion zone, as well as Jones needed on many of his deep throws. It is actually specifically notable considering this was actually a trouble early in training school. There was a considerable amount of suitable for Jones, but it was almost enough. Jones is precisely participating in much better considering that the opener. Having novice pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving the activity in the fourth quarter along with a blast, Nabers kept adding to his files. He came to be the initial player in NFL record with at least 25 celebrations and also 3 touchdowns in his very first 4 profession video games when he saw a 3-yard elapsed early in the second one-fourth. He right now has 35 receptions for 386 gardens and 3 touchdowns in four games.Troubling pattern: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the nearby protector on 4 goal passes presently this season, according to NFL Next Generation Stats. Banks was defeated once more on Thursday evening, this time through Lamb for a 55-yard credit rating in the second fourth. The Giants were actually wishing Banks would certainly step into the CB1 task this season. Rather, it has actually been a battle thus far.Biggest gap in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't able to acquire just about anything entering the operating activity against the organization's worst run protection. Dallas entered into the contest permitting 185.7 yards on the ground every game. The Giants entered into the game assuming they would possess effectiveness but had merely 29 backyards entering the initial one-half-- as well as they do with 26 yards on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
