Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday night's game, the Nyc Giants and also Dallas Cowboys shared final location in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored 2 first-half goals as well as limited the Giants to 3 basket to lead 14-9 at the half. It was actually a protective battle the rest of the method, as neither team scored a touchdown in the second half.Dallas grabbed its own 2nd succeed of the season along with a final rating of 20-15, however star edge rusher Micah Parsons was actually brought off the field behind time in the activity along with a nigh side ankle/foot accident. He said later that X-rays were actually adverse and he will definitely receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie receiver Malik Nabers also left the activity in the fourth quarter after going through a concussion.Here are the absolute most essential things to know from Thursday evening for both teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did certainly not talk with the media prior to Thursday's activity against the Giants. He said he would communicate "message gain." The Cowboys got the succeed, but it had not been an artistic elegance. However, after Dallas was actually embarrassed in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was receiving a gain on a short week.Being 2-2 is a lot better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it would have denoted the very first time they shed 3 September activities given that 2001, and they will possess been in final spot in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, specifically in the first one-half along with goal exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 yards) and Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The protection ultimately ceased the run and stabilized in the red region, keeping the Giants to 5 area goals.Prescott has actually now won thirteen straight versus the Giants. His last reduction can be found in 2016 as a novice. He connected the second-longest win streak by a quarterback against a single rival considering that quarterback stats were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo grass Costs thirteen direct opportunities from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful beat the Rams 13 straight coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely acquire a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Lamb possesses some sideline problems, the best appears to follow out of him. During the course of in 2013's reduction at San Francisco, Sheep kept to himself on the sideline and then observed with six activities along with a minimum of 11 catches and also 7 activities along with much more than 100 backyards. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Lamb possessed an altercation along with Prescott as well as carried out certainly not speak to the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Sheep was apologetic as well as said he would certainly be a lot better. In the initial one-half alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 lawns (both season highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually played 21 games for the Cowboys. He has 3 field goals of 60 lawns in his profession, including a 60-yarder in the third fourth versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL file kept by Brett Maher, that helped make 4 along with the Cowboys over two various stints. Aubrey created a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 backyards this period. The rest of the organization is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will definitely have 10 days to prepare yourself for the presently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment is going to help because there is actually still a lot that requires to become corrected, despite having the succeed. In the past three activities, resisting quarterbacks have overlooked on simply 19 successfully pases. Against the Saints and also Ravens, that was actually easy to understand considering that each groups were thus leading on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had way too much opportunity to toss for much of the video game after recently being actually tortured due to the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend eight video games prior to Thursday. Oh, and they were actually punished 9 times in the first fifty percent 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, however they still didn't happen away with a succeed. After last period, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their two meetings along with the Cowboys, this has to be viewed as progress, right?Sure, there are no ethical victories in the NFL, however this was the 3rd straight come in the ideal direction for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The void, at the very least relatively, has tightened between the branch competitors. Dallas still owns the Giants. It has gained 14 of recent 15 matchups, and Prescott has actually defeated all of them 13 straight opportunities. New york city still isn't very certainly there yet, however this proved it goes to minimum improving.QB malfunction: Jones was dependable, completing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% completion) for 281 lawns with an interception on a Hail Mary in the last secs. But the Giants were kept out of completion area, as well as Jones needed on the majority of his deep throws. It's especially significant considering this was an issue early in training school. There was actually a lot of helpful for Jones, yet it was not quite adequate. Jones is actually precisely playing far better due to the fact that the opener. Possessing novice wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving behind the video game in the 4th one-fourth along with a trauma, Nabers maintained contributing to his records. He ended up being the very first gamer in NFL history along with at the very least 25 receptions as well as 3 touchdowns in his very first 4 occupation activities when he saw a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second quarter. He currently has 35 functions for 386 lawns as well as 3 goals in four games.Troubling fad: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the local defender on 4 goal passes already this time, according to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Financial institutions was defeated again on Thursday evening, this time around by Sheep for a 55-yard score in the second one-fourth. The Giants were wishing Financial institutions will step into the CB1 job this period. Rather, it has actually been a struggle so far.Biggest opening in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't able to get anything entering the operating game against the league's worst run self defense. Dallas entered the competition making it possible for 185.7 backyards on the ground per video game. The Giants came into the game presuming they would certainly possess effectiveness but had only 29 yards rushing in the very first fifty percent-- and also they finished with 26 gardens on 24 holds.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
