Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting in Thursday evening's activity, the The big apple Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys discussed last place in the NFC East at 1-2, a game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up two first-half goals and confined the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the half. It was a protective battle the rest of the method, as neither crew racked up a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas got its own second win of the season along with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, but star side rush Micah Parsons was brought off the area behind time in the video game along with a nigh side ankle/foot accident. He said later that X-rays were actually bad and also he will obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie receiver Malik Nabers also exited the activity in the fourth one-fourth after experiencing a concussion.Here are actually the best necessary factors to understand from Thursday night for both groups: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed not speak with the media just before Thursday's game against the Giants. He claimed he will talk "article gain." The Cowboys received the succeed, but it wasn't an imaginative elegance. Nonetheless, after Dallas was humiliated in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually obtaining a gain on a brief week.Being 2-2 is so much far better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys shed, it would have marked the first time they lost 3 September video games because 2001, and also they will have been in last spot in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, particularly in the very first one-half with goal passes to CeeDee Sheep (55 lawns) and Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The protection ultimately ceased the operate and also stabilized at a loss region, keeping the Giants to 5 industry goals.Prescott has now gained thirteen straight against the Giants. His last loss can be found in 2016 as a novice. He tied the second-longest gain streak by a quarterback versus a singular opponent given that quarterback statistics were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo Costs thirteen straight times coming from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Young trumped the Rams 13 directly coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to receive an odds at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Lamb possesses some side project concerns, the very best seems to be to come out of him. During last year's loss at San Francisco, Sheep kept to themself on the subsidiary and afterwards followed with 6 video games along with a minimum of 11 catches and seven video games with greater than one hundred yards. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Lamb possessed a squabble with Prescott and also did not talk to the media after the game. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually regretful and also stated he would certainly be actually much better. In the very first fifty percent alone, he had six catches for 94 yards (both time highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 games for the Cowboys. He has 3 field goals of 60 yards in his career, including a 60-yarder in the 3rd fourth against the Giants. That's one off the NFL document kept by Brett Maher, that helped make four with the Cowboys over 2 various stints. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 yards this season. The remainder of the league is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will certainly possess 10 days to get ready for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will aid considering that there is actually still a lot that needs to have to be corrected, even with the win. Before 3 video games, opposing quarterbacks have actually skipped on simply 19 successfully pases. Against the Saints and also Ravens, that was actually easy to understand given that both staffs were therefore dominant on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had excessive time to toss for a lot of the video game after earlier being actually tormented due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in 8 activities prior to Thursday. Oh, and they were actually penalized 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 win. After last time, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 appointments with the Cowboys, this has to be viewed as progression, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical victories in the NFL, however this was actually the third organized intervene the ideal instructions for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The void, a minimum of to some extent, has actually narrowed in between the branch opponents. Dallas still owns the Giants. It has succeeded 14 of the past 15 competitions, and Prescott has trumped all of them thirteen straight opportunities. New York still isn't very there yet, but this confirmed it goes to least improving.QB break down: Jones was actually efficient, accomplishing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% conclusion) for 281 yards with an interception on a Hail Mary in the last seconds. But the Giants were actually stayed out of completion zone, and Jones was short on most of his deep throws. It is actually particularly significant considering this was actually a trouble early in training school. There was actually a considerable amount of suitable for Jones, however it was not quite sufficient. Jones is actually plainly participating in far better because the opener. Having novice pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 lawns) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving behind the activity in the 4th one-fourth along with a blast, Nabers maintained contributing to his files. He came to be the very first gamer in NFL record along with at the very least 25 receptions and also three touchdowns in his initial 4 job games when he caught a 3-yard elapsed early in the second fourth. He right now possesses 35 functions for 386 lawns and three goals in 4 games.Troubling pattern: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the local protector on four goal passes currently this period, according to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Banks was actually defeated again on Thursday night, this time by Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the second one-fourth. The Giants were hoping Financial institutions will step into the CB1 role this time. Rather, it has been actually a struggle thus far.Biggest gap in the strategy: The Giants weren't capable to receive everything using the operating video game against the league's worst run defense. Dallas entered the competition making it possible for 185.7 gardens on the ground every video game. The Giants entered into the video game assuming they will possess excellence yet possessed just 29 yards rushing in the initial half-- as well as they completed with 26 backyards on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
