Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday evening's activity, the The big apple Giants and also Dallas Cowboys shared final location in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored pair of first-half touchdowns and confined the Giants to 3 basket to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a defensive fight the remainder of the means, as neither staff scored a goal in the second half.Dallas picked up its second gain of the time with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, however celebrity edge rush Micah Parsons was hauled off the industry late in the activity along with a nigh side ankle/foot injury. He stated afterward that X-rays were damaging and also he is going to obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' novice recipient Malik Nabers additionally went out the activity in the 4th quarter after going through a concussion.Here are the most important factors to understand from Thursday night for both teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did certainly not speak to the media just before Thursday's activity versus the Giants. He stated he will communicate "message gain." The Cowboys received the succeed, but it wasn't a creative charm. However, after Dallas was actually embarrassed in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was getting a gain on a brief week.Being 2-2 is actually so much far better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys shed, it would have denoted the very first time they lost three September games since 2001, and also they will have been in final area in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, specifically in the initial fifty percent with goal passes to CeeDee Lamb (55 yards) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The protection ultimately ceased the operate as well as stiffened at a loss zone, keeping the Giants to 5 field goals.Prescott has actually right now gained 13 right against the Giants. His final reduction was available in 2016 as a rookie. He connected the second-longest gain touch through a quarterback against a single challenger because quarterback stats were actually very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo grass Bills 13 straight opportunities coming from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Youthful defeated the Rams thirteen right from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to obtain a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Sheep possesses some side project issues, the greatest seems to be to follow away from him. During the course of in 2014's reduction at San Francisco, Sheep always kept to himself on the subsidiary and afterwards adhered to along with six games along with at least 11 catches and 7 video games along with greater than 100 backyards. In recently's reduction to New Orleans, Sheep had a spat with Prescott as well as performed not speak with the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Lamb was apologetic and mentioned he will be actually much better. In the first one-half alone, he had 6 catches for 94 yards (both time highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has played 21 ready the Cowboys. He has 3 field goals of 60 lawns in his job, consisting of a 60-yarder in the 3rd fourth against the Giants. That's one off the NFL file secured through Brett Maher, who produced four along with the Cowboys over pair of various jobs. Aubrey created a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 backyards this season. The rest of the organization is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys are going to have 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 requires to become dealt with, despite having the succeed. Previously 3 video games, opposing quarterbacks have missed on just 19 elapseds. Against the Saints and Ravens, that was actually understandable considering that each staffs were so prevalent on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had too much opportunity to toss for a lot of the game after previously being tortured by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend 8 games prior to Thursday. Oh, and also they were imposed penalty on 9 attend the 1st 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 against the Cowboys, yet they still failed to come away along with a succeed. After final season, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two meetings along with the Cowboys, this has to be actually considered as improvement, right?Sure, there are no ethical triumphes in the NFL, but this was the third organized intervene the best path for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The gap, at the very least to some extent, has narrowed in between the division rivals. Dallas still has the Giants. It has gained 14 of recent 15 matches, as well as Prescott has defeated them thirteen straight times. The big apple still isn't pretty there certainly as yet, yet this confirmed it goes to least improving.QB breakdown: Jones was actually dependable, accomplishing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% completion) for 281 gardens along with an interception on a Hail Mary in the ultimate secs. Yet the Giants were actually stayed out of completion area, as well as Jones needed on many of his deep throws. It's especially distinctive considering this was actually a problem early in training camp. There was a considerable amount of helpful for Jones, but it was almost adequate. Jones is actually accurately participating in much better given that the opener. Having rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 lawns) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the video game in the fourth one-fourth with a blast, Nabers always kept including in his records. He became the initial player in NFL past history along with a minimum of 25 celebrations as well as 3 goals in his initial four job video games when he got a 3-yard elapsed early in the second one-fourth. He currently has 35 events for 386 gardens as well as 3 goals in four games.Troubling pattern: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the nearby guardian on four touchdown passes currently this time, according to NFL Next Generation Stats. Banking companies was defeated again on Thursday night, this time around by Lamb for a 55-yard credit rating in the second fourth. The Giants were wishing Banks would enter the CB1 role this time. Instead, it has actually been actually a problem therefore far.Biggest hole in the game plan: The Giants weren't able to obtain just about anything going in the managing video game against the league's worst run defense. Dallas entered into the contest permitting 185.7 yards on the ground per video game. The Giants entered the game believing they would certainly possess effectiveness however possessed only 29 gardens entering the first half-- as well as they completed with 26 gardens on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
