Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Going into Thursday night's video game, the Nyc Giants and also Dallas Cowboys discussed last spot in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up two first-half goals and also confined the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was a protective struggle the rest of the means, as neither team scored a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas got its second gain of the season along with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, but star edge rush Micah Parsons was taken off the area behind time in the activity with a nigh side ankle/foot injury. He pointed out afterward that X-rays were negative as well as he will certainly obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie receiver Malik Nabers additionally exited the game in the fourth one-fourth after going through a concussion.Here are the most significant traits to know coming from Thursday evening for each crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed certainly not talk with the media before Thursday's game against the Giants. He stated he would certainly speak "article gain." The Cowboys got the succeed, yet it had not been a creative elegance. Nevertheless, after Dallas was embarrassed in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was actually getting a gain on a quick week.Being 2-2 is so much better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys shed, it would certainly have denoted the very first time they dropped 3 September activities since 2001, as well as they will have resided in last place in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, especially in the first one-half with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 backyards) and Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The self defense lastly stopped the operate as well as stabilized at a loss area, holding the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has actually right now gained 13 right versus the Giants. His final loss came in 2016 as a rookie. He linked the second-longest win touch through a quarterback versus a single enemy due to the fact that quarterback stats were initial tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Expenses 13 direct times coming from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Young defeated the Rams thirteen right from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will get an odds at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Lamb possesses some subsidiary problems, the most ideal seems to be to follow away from him. Throughout in 2013's reduction at San Francisco, Lamb maintained to himself on the side project and afterwards adhered to with six activities along with at the very least 11 catches and 7 activities with more than one hundred yards. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Lamb had a spat with Prescott and performed not talk to the media after the game. On Tuesday, Lamb was regretful and said he would certainly be actually a lot better. In the initial one-half alone, he had 6 catches for 94 backyards (both time highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually played 21 ready the Cowboys. He has three field goals of 60 gardens in his career, featuring a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL report kept by Brett Maher, who produced 4 with the Cowboys over two various assignments. Aubrey made a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 coming from 60 yards this time. The rest of the organization is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys will certainly possess 10 days to prepare yourself for the currently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The time is going to assist given that there is still a lot that needs to be remedied, despite the succeed. Before three video games, resisting quarterbacks have missed on merely 19 passes. Versus the Saints and also Ravens, that was actually logical given that both staffs were so prevalent on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed excessive opportunity to toss for a lot of the video game after earlier being actually agonized by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 times in eight activities prior to Thursday. Oh, as well as they were penalized 9 attend the first fifty percent 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, but they still failed to come away along with a win. After final period, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their pair of appointments with the Cowboys, this must be viewed as progress, right?Sure, there are no moral triumphes in the NFL, however this was actually the third organized intervene the ideal direction for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The void, at the very least to some extent, has actually limited in between the branch rivals. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually won 14 of recent 15 matchups, as well as Prescott has actually beaten them thirteen direct opportunities. The big apple still isn't fairly certainly there yet, however this showed it goes to least improving.QB failure: Jones was actually dependable, finishing 29 of 40 passes (73% fulfillment) for 281 lawns with an interception on a Hail Mary in the ultimate secs. But the Giants were actually shut out of the end zone, and also Jones needed on the majority of his centered tosses. It is actually particularly significant considering this was actually an issue early in training school. There was a lot of suitable for Jones, but it was almost enough. Jones is plainly playing better considering that the opener. Having newbie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the activity in the 4th one-fourth along with a trauma, Nabers kept including in his files. He became the 1st player in NFL history along with at the very least 25 celebrations and 3 goals in his very first 4 profession games when he saw a 3-yard elapsed early in the 2nd quarter. He now possesses 35 celebrations for 386 backyards as well as three touchdowns in four games.Troubling trend: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the closest protector on four goal passes presently this time, depending on to NFL Next Gen Stats. Financial institutions was defeated once more on Thursday evening, this time around through Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the second one-fourth. The Giants were wishing Banking companies would certainly enter the CB1 function this season. As an alternative, it has been a struggle therefore far.Biggest gap in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to acquire anything entering the managing game against the league's worst operate protection. Dallas came into the competition enabling 185.7 backyards on the ground per game. The Giants entered the video game assuming they will possess excellence however had just 29 lawns entering the 1st fifty percent-- and also they finished with 26 backyards on 24 brings.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
