Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday night's video game, the The big apple Giants and Dallas Cowboys shared last area in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored 2 first-half touchdowns and also confined the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was actually a defensive fight the rest of the method, as neither staff scored a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its 2nd succeed of the season along with a final score of 20-15, but celebrity side rush Micah Parsons was actually carted off the industry behind time in the activity with a left ankle/foot accident. He claimed thereafter that X-rays were actually adverse and also he is going to obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice recipient Malik Nabers likewise exited the video game in the fourth quarter after experiencing a concussion.Here are one of the most vital traits to understand coming from Thursday night for both groups: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out certainly not talk with the media just before Thursday's video game against the Giants. He stated he would certainly communicate "post succeed." The Cowboys received the win, yet it had not been an artistic elegance. Nonetheless, after Dallas was humiliated in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was obtaining a win on a quick week.Being 2-2 is actually so much better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys lost, it would have denoted the very first time they shed 3 September video games due to the fact that 2001, as well as they would certainly possess been in last spot in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, particularly in the very first half with goal exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 backyards) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The self defense ultimately stopped the run and tensed in the hole area, keeping the Giants to five area goals.Prescott has actually now gained 13 straight against the Giants. His last reduction was available in 2016 as a novice. He tied the second-longest gain touch by a quarterback versus a singular challenger since quarterback statistics were 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Expenses thirteen straight times coming from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful defeated the Rams thirteen right from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will certainly receive a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Lamb has some side project problems, the most effective seems to find out of him. During in 2014's loss at San Francisco, Lamb kept to himself on the subsidiary and after that followed with 6 video games along with a minimum of 11 catches and seven video games with much more than one hundred gardens. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Sheep had an altercation along with Prescott as well as performed not speak with the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually apologetic and stated he would certainly be better. In the very first one-half alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 backyards (both period highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He possesses 3 field goals of 60 yards in his profession, including a 60-yarder in the 3rd quarter versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL record secured through Brett Maher, that created four with the Cowboys over 2 different assignments. Aubrey created a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 lawns this period. The remainder of the game is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys will possess 10 days to prepare for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will definitely help given that there is actually still a whole lot that needs to have to be improved, despite having the succeed. In the past 3 video games, resisting quarterbacks have actually skipped on merely 19 elapseds. Versus the Saints as well as Ravens, that was actually reasonable given that both crews were actually thus dominant on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had a lot of opportunity to throw for much of the game after previously being tortured by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend eight video games before Thursday. Oh, and they were penalized nine attend the first half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext game: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants maintained it close versus the Cowboys, but they still didn't come away along with a gain. After final time, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their pair of conferences along with the Cowboys, this has to be viewed as development, right?Sure, there are no moral victories in the NFL, but this was actually the 3rd straight intervene the right instructions for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The space, a minimum of relatively, has tightened between the department rivals. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually succeeded 14 of the past 15 competitions, and Prescott has actually defeated them thirteen straight opportunities. Nyc still isn't very certainly there yet, yet this confirmed it goes to least improving.QB failure: Jones was actually efficient, finishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% completion) for 281 yards with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the last secs. However the Giants were shut out of the end zone, and Jones was short on most of his centered tosses. It's specifically significant considering this was actually an issue early in training camp. There was a ton of helpful for Jones, however it was actually not quite enough. Jones is accurately playing far better because the opener. Having newbie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 lawns) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving the game in the fourth quarter along with a trauma, Nabers kept contributing to his documents. He became the initial gamer in NFL record along with at least 25 functions as well as three goals in his initial 4 occupation activities when he got a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second quarter. He right now has 35 events for 386 lawns and three touchdowns in four games.Troubling style: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the nearby defender on 4 goal passes presently this season, depending on to NFL Next Generation Stats. Banking companies was actually trumped once again on Thursday night, this time around by Lamb for a 55-yard score in the second quarter. The Giants were hoping Banking companies will step into the CB1 part this time. Instead, it has been a problem thus far.Biggest hole in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't capable to obtain everything using the managing game versus the organization's worst operate self defense. Dallas entered the competition enabling 185.7 gardens on the ground every video game. The Giants came into the video game presuming they would certainly have success yet possessed only 29 yards entering the first half-- as well as they do with 26 backyards on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
