Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Going into Thursday evening's activity, the New York Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys shared last location in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys scored pair of first-half goals and also confined the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was a defensive war the rest of the means, as neither crew racked up a touchdown in the second half.Dallas got its own second win of the time with an ultimate score of 20-15, however star edge rusher Micah Parsons was taken off the field late in the activity along with a left ankle/foot personal injury. He pointed out subsequently that X-rays were actually unfavorable and also he is going to receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie receiver Malik Nabers also left the video game in the 4th one-fourth after going through a concussion.Here are actually the most significant traits to know coming from Thursday evening for both groups: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed not contact the media prior to Thursday's activity against the Giants. He claimed he will speak "post win." The Cowboys acquired the gain, yet it wasn't an imaginative charm. Nevertheless, after Dallas was shamed in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only point that mattered was actually obtaining a win on a quick week.Being 2-2 is actually a great deal far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys shed, it would certainly have marked the very first time they shed 3 September activities because 2001, as well as they will have been in final spot in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, specifically in the initial half along with goal exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 backyards) and Rico Dowdle (15 yards). The defense finally quit the operate and stiffened in the hole region, storing the Giants to five industry goals.Prescott has actually currently won 13 straight versus the Giants. His final reduction can be found in 2016 as a novice. He connected the second-longest gain streak by a quarterback versus a solitary rival since quarterback stats were actually very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady beat the Buffalo Bills 13 direct times from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Young trumped the Rams thirteen directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to receive an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Lamb possesses some subsidiary concerns, the best seems ahead out of him. During the course of last year's reduction at San Francisco, Lamb maintained to themself on the sideline and then followed with six activities along with a minimum of 11 catches and also seven video games with greater than one hundred gardens. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Sheep possessed a spat along with Prescott as well as carried out not contact the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Lamb was apologetic and also said he would be a lot better. In the first half alone, he possessed six catches for 94 lawns (both period highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He has three field goals of 60 gardens in his career, featuring a 60-yarder in the 3rd one-fourth versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL report kept by Brett Maher, that made four with the Cowboys over two various jobs. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 lawns this period. The remainder of the league is actually 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will certainly possess 10 days to get ready for the currently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time will certainly help because there is still a lot that needs to have to be improved, even with the succeed. In the past 3 games, resisting quarterbacks have actually overlooked on merely 19 successfully pases. Versus the Saints as well as Ravens, that was logical since both groups were thus prevalent on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had way too much opportunity to toss for much of the game after previously being actually tormented by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend eight games just before Thursday. Oh, and also they were actually imposed penalty on 9 times in the very first one-half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext video 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, but they still didn't happen away with a succeed. After last time, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their 2 conferences along with the Cowboys, this must be actually considered as development, right?Sure, there are no moral victories in the NFL, yet this was actually the 3rd organized intervene the right instructions for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The space, at least to some extent, has actually limited between the division rivals. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has actually won 14 of recent 15 matchups, and also Prescott has actually beaten all of them 13 direct opportunities. Nyc still isn't very there certainly yet, yet this verified it's at minimum improving.QB break down: Jones was actually effective, completing 29 of 40 elapseds (73% completion) for 281 backyards with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the last secs. However the Giants were actually stayed out of completion area, and also Jones needed on a lot of his centered throws. It's especially distinctive considering this was a trouble early in training camp. There was a considerable amount of helpful for Jones, however it was almost enough. Jones is accurately playing far better due to the fact that the opener. Possessing newbie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 backyards) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the activity in the 4th one-fourth with a concussion, Nabers always kept contributing to his documents. He came to be the 1st player in NFL history along with at the very least 25 functions and also three touchdowns in his 1st 4 occupation games when he found a 3-yard elapsed early in the second fourth. He right now has 35 celebrations for 386 gardens as well as three touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling pattern: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the nearest protector on four goal passes presently this season, according to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Banking companies was defeated once more on Thursday evening, this moment by Lamb for a 55-yard score in the 2nd fourth. The Giants were actually really hoping Banking companies will step into the CB1 task this season. Instead, it has actually been actually a struggle thus far.Biggest hole in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't capable to get everything going in the running video game versus the game's worst run self defense. Dallas entered into the competition permitting 185.7 yards on the ground per video game. The Giants entered into the game believing they will possess excellence but had just 29 backyards entering the initial one-half-- and also they finished with 26 lawns on 24 brings.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
