Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Going into Thursday evening's activity, the New york city Giants and Dallas Cowboys shared last location in the NFC East at 1-2, a game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philly Eagles.The Cowboys racked up pair of first-half touchdowns as well as confined the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was a defensive war the remainder of the method, as neither crew racked up a touchdown in the second half.Dallas picked up its own 2nd win of the season along with an ultimate score of 20-15, but celebrity side rush Micah Parsons was actually taken off the industry behind time in the activity along with a remaining ankle/foot trauma. He mentioned subsequently that X-rays were actually bad as well as he will receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice recipient Malik Nabers additionally exited the video game in the 4th one-fourth after going through a concussion.Here are the absolute most important things to recognize from Thursday evening for each teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did certainly not talk to the media just before Thursday's video game versus the Giants. He stated he will communicate "message win." The Cowboys got the succeed, yet it wasn't an imaginative appeal. However, after Dallas was embarrassed in next home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was actually obtaining a succeed on a short week.Being 2-2 is a lot better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it would certainly have noted the very first time they dropped 3 September activities since 2001, and also they would have been in last place in the NFC East.Prescott was actually sharp, specifically in the 1st one-half along with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 gardens) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 gardens). The self defense eventually ceased the operate and stabilized at a loss zone, holding the Giants to five area goals.Prescott has actually right now gained 13 right versus the Giants. His final reduction can be found in 2016 as a rookie. He linked the second-longest gain touch through a quarterback against a single enemy considering that quarterback stats were initial tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo grass Costs 13 direct opportunities coming from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Young beat the Rams thirteen straight coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to receive an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising trend: When Lamb possesses some side project problems, the most effective appears to follow away from him. During the course of in 2015's reduction at San Francisco, Sheep maintained to himself on the subsidiary and after that observed along with 6 activities with at the very least 11 catches as well as 7 video games with much more than one hundred backyards. In recently's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb had a spat with Prescott as well as did certainly not speak to the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Sheep was regretful and mentioned he would be actually much better. In the initial half alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 gardens (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 backyards in his job, featuring a 60-yarder in the third quarter against the Giants. That's one off the NFL file secured by Brett Maher, that created 4 with the Cowboys over 2 various stints. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 coming from 60 yards this time. The remainder of the league is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will certainly possess 10 times to prepare yourself for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will certainly assist since there is actually still a lot that needs to become repaired, despite having the win. Before three video games, opposing quarterbacks have missed on only 19 successfully pases. Versus the Saints as well as Ravens, that was logical since each groups were thus dominant on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed too much time to throw for a lot of the activity after previously being tortured due to the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 times in eight activities before Thursday. Oh, and they were imposed penalty on 9 attend the very 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 against the Cowboys, yet they still didn't come away with a succeed. After final season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 appointments along with the Cowboys, this has to be actually viewed as improvement, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical success in the NFL, but this was actually the third organized come in the ideal instructions for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The void, at least to some degree, has narrowed in between the division opponents. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has succeeded 14 of recent 15 matchups, and also Prescott has trumped all of them thirteen direct opportunities. New York still isn't rather certainly there as yet, but this verified it goes to minimum improving.QB malfunction: Jones was actually efficient, completing 29 of 40 passes (73% finalization) for 281 backyards along with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the last seconds. Yet the Giants were actually shut out of the end zone, and also Jones needed on most of his deep throws. It's especially remarkable considering this was actually a trouble early in training school. There was a great deal of good for Jones, yet it was almost enough. Jones is actually clearly playing better since the opener. Having rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 backyards) undoubtedly helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving behind the activity in the fourth quarter with a trauma, Nabers kept adding to his reports. He became the very first player in NFL history with a minimum of 25 events and also three touchdowns in his very first 4 job video games when he found a 3-yard successfully pass early in the 2nd quarter. He currently possesses 35 celebrations for 386 gardens and three touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling fad: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the nearby protector on 4 goal passes actually this season, depending on to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Financial institutions was trumped once more on Thursday night, this moment by Lamb for a 55-yard score in the 2nd quarter. The Giants were wishing Banks would enter the CB1 role this time. Rather, it has been a battle so far.Biggest opening in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't able to obtain everything using the operating video game versus the game's worst run self defense. Dallas came into the contest making it possible for 185.7 backyards on the ground per activity. The Giants came into the game thinking they would certainly possess excellence but possessed simply 29 yards entering the 1st one-half-- as well as they do with 26 backyards on 24 holds.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
