Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Going into Thursday evening's game, the Nyc Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys shared last spot in the NFC East at 1-2, a game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored 2 first-half goals and confined the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was a defensive struggle the remainder of the means, as neither group racked up a touchdown in the second half.Dallas picked up its second win of the time along with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, but celebrity side rush Micah Parsons was actually carted off the field late in the activity with a remaining ankle/foot trauma. He stated thereafter that X-rays were actually damaging and also he will certainly receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice receiver Malik Nabers likewise went out the game in the 4th quarter after enduring a concussion.Here are actually the absolute most crucial traits to know coming from Thursday night for each crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out not speak to the media just before Thursday's video game against the Giants. He claimed he will speak "article succeed." The Cowboys got the succeed, but it had not been an artistic elegance. However, after Dallas was embarrassed in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was getting a win on a short week.Being 2-2 is actually a great deal better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys dropped, it will have noted the first time they dropped three September activities due to the fact that 2001, and also they would certainly possess remained in last location in the NFC East.Prescott was actually sharp, especially in the very first half with touchdown passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 lawns) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The defense ultimately stopped the operate and stabilized at a loss region, storing the Giants to 5 industry goals.Prescott has actually right now won 13 straight against the Giants. His final loss was available in 2016 as a newbie. He connected the second-longest win touch by a quarterback against a single opponent considering that quarterback stats were actually 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Bills thirteen direct opportunities from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Youthful beat the Rams 13 straight from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will obtain a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Sheep has some sideline concerns, the greatest seems to find out of him. During last year's loss at San Francisco, Sheep always kept to himself on the subsidiary and after that adhered to with six games with at least 11 catches as well as seven games with greater than 100 backyards. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Sheep had a spat with Prescott as well as performed certainly not contact the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Lamb was apologetic and claimed he will be actually much better. In the very first fifty percent alone, he had six catches for 94 gardens (both season highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He has three field goals of 60 yards in his profession, consisting of a 60-yarder in the 3rd quarter versus the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file kept through Brett Maher, who created four with the Cowboys over pair of various stints. Aubrey made a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 gardens this time. The rest of the game is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will definitely have 10 days to get ready for the currently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will certainly help because there is actually still a great deal that requires to become dealt with, despite the succeed. Previously three games, opposing quarterbacks have skipped on merely 19 successfully pases. Versus the Saints as well as Ravens, that was easy to understand since both crews were actually so prevalent on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed way too much opportunity to throw for much of the game after recently being actually tormented due to the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 times in eight activities prior to Thursday. Oh, and they were imposed penalty on 9 times in the 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 against the Cowboys, but they still really did not happen away along with a gain. After last season, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their pair of conferences along with the Cowboys, this has to be actually considered as improvement, right?Sure, there are no ethical success in the NFL, however this was the 3rd organized action in the appropriate path for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The void, at least to some extent, has actually narrowed in between the department competitors. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually succeeded 14 of recent 15 matchups, and Prescott has defeated all of them 13 straight opportunities. New York still isn't very certainly there yet, but this showed it goes to the very least improving.QB breakdown: Jones was reliable, accomplishing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% completion) for 281 lawns along with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the ultimate seconds. However the Giants were kept out of the end zone, as well as Jones was short on most of his deep tosses. It is actually particularly distinctive considering this was a complication early in training school. There was actually a bunch of suitable for Jones, but it was almost adequate. Jones is clearly participating in far better because the opener. Possessing novice wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 backyards) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the game in the 4th quarter along with a blast, Nabers maintained adding to his reports. He became the 1st gamer in NFL record with a minimum of 25 receptions and 3 goals in his very first four occupation games when he saw a 3-yard elapsed early in the second quarter. He right now has 35 functions for 386 yards and three goals in four games.Troubling trend: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been the local protector on four goal passes currently this season, according to NFL Next Generation Stats. Financial institutions was trumped again on Thursday evening, this time by Lamb for a 55-yard credit rating in the second quarter. The Giants were hoping Financial institutions would certainly enter the CB1 task this period. Instead, it has been actually a problem so far.Biggest opening in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't capable to acquire just about anything entering the operating activity against the league's worst operate self defense. Dallas entered into the contest permitting 185.7 lawns on the ground every video game. The Giants entered into the game believing they will possess excellence however had simply 29 yards entering the 1st fifty percent-- as well as they do with 26 gardens on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
