Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering Thursday night's activity, the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed last area in the NFC East at 1-2, a game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half touchdowns as well as confined the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a defensive struggle the rest of the method, as neither staff racked up a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas got its second succeed of the season with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, but star edge rusher Micah Parsons was brought off the industry behind time in the activity along with a left side ankle/foot accident. He stated afterward that X-rays were bad as well as he will certainly obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie recipient Malik Nabers likewise exited the video game in the 4th one-fourth after experiencing a concussion.Here are actually one of the most necessary factors to recognize from Thursday evening for both staffs: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did not speak to the media just before Thursday's activity versus the Giants. He said he would certainly speak "blog post succeed." The Cowboys got the win, but it wasn't an artistic appeal. Nonetheless, after Dallas was actually shamed in next home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually acquiring a win on a quick week.Being 2-2 is a lot better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys dropped, it would certainly possess marked the first time they shed 3 September video games due to the fact that 2001, as well as they would have remained in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, specifically in the 1st half with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 lawns) and also Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The defense lastly stopped the run as well as stiffened in the red zone, keeping the Giants to five industry goals.Prescott has actually right now won 13 directly against the Giants. His final reduction came in 2016 as a novice. He tied the second-longest win touch through a quarterback against a singular rival because quarterback statistics were actually very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo grass Expenses thirteen direct times from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Young defeated the Rams thirteen directly coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely receive a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Lamb has some sideline problems, the very best seems to be ahead away from him. During the course of in 2013's loss at San Francisco, Lamb always kept to himself on the subsidiary and then followed along with six video games with a minimum of 11 catches as well as seven video games along with much more than 100 lawns. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Lamb had an altercation along with Prescott and performed certainly not talk to the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Sheep was apologetic and said he would certainly be a lot better. In the initial half alone, he had 6 catches for 94 lawns (both period highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 ready the Cowboys. He possesses 3 basket of 60 lawns in his profession, featuring a 60-yarder in the third one-fourth versus the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL report held by Brett Maher, that made four along with the Cowboys over 2 different stints. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder recently against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 yards this period. The rest of the organization is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will certainly possess 10 times to prepare for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time will certainly assist because there is actually still a lot that needs to be dealt with, even with the gain. Before 3 games, opposing quarterbacks have actually skipped on merely 19 passes. Versus the Saints and also Ravens, that was actually logical because both groups were actually so leading on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed too much opportunity to toss for much of the video game after recently being agonized due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend eight games before Thursday. Oh, as well as they were imposed penalty on 9 times in the first one-half 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 versus the Cowboys, yet they still didn't happen away along with a win. After final period, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their two appointments along with the Cowboys, this needs to be actually deemed development, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical triumphes in the NFL, but this was the 3rd straight intervene the ideal direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The void, a minimum of to some degree, has actually limited in between the department competitors. Dallas still has the Giants. It has gained 14 of the past 15 matches, as well as Prescott has actually beaten all of them 13 straight opportunities. New york city still isn't quite there certainly as yet, yet this verified it goes to the very least improving.QB malfunction: Jones was effective, completing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% completion) for 281 gardens along with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the final few seconds. Yet the Giants were actually kept out of completion region, as well as Jones was short on most of his deep tosses. It is actually especially notable considering this was actually a problem early in training camp. There was a great deal of suitable for Jones, however it was almost adequate. Jones is precisely participating in far better considering that the opener. Having rookie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) absolutely helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving the video game in the 4th quarter along with a trauma, Nabers maintained adding to his files. He ended up being the 1st gamer in NFL past with at the very least 25 celebrations as well as three goals in his first four occupation activities when he saw a 3-yard elapsed early in the second quarter. He currently possesses 35 receptions for 386 gardens as well as three goals in four games.Troubling pattern: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the nearest guardian on 4 goal passes already this period, depending on to NFL Next Gen Stats. Financial institutions was defeated again on Thursday evening, this time by Lamb for a 55-yard credit rating in the second quarter. The Giants were wishing Banking companies will enter the CB1 duty this season. Instead, it has actually been a battle therefore far.Biggest hole in the strategy: The Giants weren't able to receive everything using the operating activity versus the organization's worst operate self defense. Dallas entered the contest enabling 185.7 lawns on the ground every game. The Giants entered into the game believing they would certainly possess success but had merely 29 lawns rushing in the very first fifty percent-- as well as they completed with 26 lawns on 24 holds.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
