Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday evening's activity, the Nyc Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys shared final area in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half goals and confined the Giants to three field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a defensive fight the rest of the technique, as neither group scored a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas picked up its own second succeed of the time with a last score of 20-15, yet superstar side rush Micah Parsons was brought off the field behind time in the activity with a remaining ankle/foot trauma. He pointed out thereafter that X-rays were bad and also he will get an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie receiver Malik Nabers likewise went out the video game in the fourth one-fourth after going through a concussion.Here are the most important points to know from Thursday evening for each teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed certainly not contact the media just before Thursday's game against the Giants. He mentioned he would talk "post win." The Cowboys received the gain, but it had not been a creative appeal. Nevertheless, after Dallas was embarrassed in next home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was obtaining a gain on a brief week.Being 2-2 is a great deal better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys dropped, it would certainly have denoted the very first time they lost 3 September games because 2001, and they would certainly have been in final area in the NFC East.Prescott was alert, specifically in the very first fifty percent with goal exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 lawns) and Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The protection lastly stopped the operate as well as stabilized in the red region, keeping the Giants to 5 industry goals.Prescott has now won 13 directly against the Giants. His final reduction can be found in 2016 as a rookie. He connected the second-longest gain streak by a quarterback against a solitary challenger since quarterback stats were first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo grass Costs 13 direct times coming from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Youthful trumped the Rams thirteen directly coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will receive an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Sheep has some subsidiary issues, the greatest seems to be ahead away from him. During the course of last year's loss at San Francisco, Lamb kept to himself on the sideline and then adhered to along with six games with a minimum of 11 catches and also 7 video games along with more than 100 yards. In last week's reduction to New Orleans, Lamb had a squabble with Prescott and also carried out certainly not speak to the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Sheep was actually regretful and also claimed he would be a lot better. In the very first one-half alone, he had six catches for 94 lawns (both season 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 profession, including a 60-yarder in the 3rd one-fourth versus the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL record held by Brett Maher, that made 4 with the Cowboys over pair of different jobs. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 gardens this time. The rest of the organization is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will have 10 times to prepare yourself for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time will aid due to the fact that there is still a lot that requires to be dealt with, even with the gain. Previously 3 games, opposing quarterbacks have missed on only 19 successfully pases. Against the Saints and Ravens, that was understandable since each groups were so prevalent on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had too much opportunity to throw for much of the activity after recently being tormented due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in 8 games before Thursday. Oh, and also they were actually punished 9 times in the initial 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 failed to come away with a succeed. After final season, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 appointments with the Cowboys, this needs to be deemed progress, right?Sure, there are actually no ethical success in the NFL, however this was actually the 3rd straight intervene the ideal path for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The void, at least to some degree, has actually tightened in between the division rivals. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has won 14 of the past 15 matchups, and also Prescott has actually trumped all of them 13 direct times. New york city still isn't very certainly there yet, but this confirmed it's at least improving.QB failure: Jones was dependable, finishing 29 of 40 passes (73% finalization) for 281 backyards along with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the last few seconds. However the Giants were shut out of the end region, and Jones was short on most of his centered tosses. It is actually specifically notable considering this was a trouble early in training camp. There was actually a great deal of great for Jones, however it was not quite adequate. Jones is actually plainly participating in much better since the opener. Having newbie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 backyards) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving the activity in the fourth quarter with a concussion, Nabers always kept contributing to his documents. He came to be the 1st player in NFL record along with at least 25 receptions as well as three touchdowns in his initial four career activities when he found a 3-yard elapsed early in the 2nd quarter. He right now possesses 35 functions for 386 gardens and also three goals in 4 games.Troubling fad: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the nearest protector on 4 touchdown passes presently this time, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. Financial institutions was actually beat again on Thursday night, this time around through Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the second one-fourth. The Giants were really hoping Financial institutions would certainly enter the CB1 part this period. Rather, it has actually been actually a battle thus far.Biggest gap in the game plan: The Giants weren't capable to receive anything entering the managing activity versus the league's worst operate defense. Dallas entered the competition enabling 185.7 lawns on the ground every activity. The Giants entered into the activity believing they would have excellence however possessed just 29 gardens entering the first fifty percent-- as well as they completed with 26 backyards on 24 holds.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
