Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday evening's activity, the The big apple Giants as well as Dallas Cowboys shared last location in the NFC East at 1-2, a game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders as well as Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys racked up 2 first-half goals and also limited the Giants to 3 basket to lead 14-9 at the fifty percent. It was a defensive fight the remainder of the technique, as neither staff racked up a goal in the 2nd half.Dallas picked up its own 2nd gain of the period along with an ultimate credit rating of 20-15, however celebrity edge rush Micah Parsons was taken off the area late in the activity with a nigh side ankle/foot trauma. He stated subsequently that X-rays were unfavorable as well as he will obtain an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie recipient Malik Nabers likewise left the game in the 4th one-fourth after going through a concussion.Here are actually the absolute most vital factors to understand coming from Thursday evening for both crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did certainly not talk with the media just before Thursday's video game against the Giants. He claimed he would communicate "message win." The Cowboys got the win, yet it had not been an artistic beauty. Nevertheless, after Dallas was actually shamed in next home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only factor that mattered was actually obtaining a gain on a short week.Being 2-2 is so much better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys lost, it would have noted the first time they lost three September video games given that 2001, and they would have been in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, especially in the first one-half along with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 gardens) and also Rico Dowdle (15 gardens). The self defense lastly stopped the run and tensed in the hole area, storing the Giants to 5 field goals.Prescott has actually right now gained thirteen right against the Giants. His final reduction came in 2016 as a newbie. He linked the second-longest gain streak through a quarterback versus a single rival given that quarterback stats were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo grass Bills 13 straight times coming from 2003 to 2010, as well as Steve Young trumped the Rams 13 directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will certainly get an odds at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Lamb has some side project concerns, the most ideal seems to be ahead out of him. In the course of in 2015's loss at San Francisco, Lamb maintained to himself on the sideline and then adhered to with six games with at least 11 catches and also 7 games along with much more than 100 yards. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Sheep possessed a squabble with Prescott and also did not speak to the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually apologetic and also said he will be better. In the 1st half alone, he had 6 catches for 94 lawns (both season highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually played 21 ready the Cowboys. He has 3 basket of 60 yards in his job, including a 60-yarder in the 3rd fourth against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL file held through Brett Maher, that helped make four along with the Cowboys over 2 various assignments. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder recently versus the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 from 60 backyards this period. The rest of the game is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys will certainly have 10 times to get ready for the currently undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment is going to aid due to the fact that there is actually still a great deal that needs to have to be improved, despite the gain. Over the last three games, resisting quarterbacks have overlooked on only 19 successfully pases. Versus the Saints as well as Ravens, that was actually reasonable because both groups were therefore leading on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed way too much time to throw for a lot of the video game after recently being actually tormented due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend eight activities before Thursday. Oh, and also they were actually punished nine times in the 1st half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext 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 come away along with a succeed. After last season, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two conferences along with the Cowboys, this has to be actually viewed as development, right?Sure, there are no ethical triumphes in the NFL, however this was the 3rd straight step in the best direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The gap, at least to some degree, has narrowed between the department competitors. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually succeeded 14 of recent 15 competitions, as well as Prescott has trumped them 13 direct times. New york city still isn't quite certainly there as yet, yet this showed it's at least improving.QB break down: Jones was actually dependable, accomplishing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% completion) for 281 backyards along with an interception on a Hail Mary in the last few seconds. But the Giants were actually kept out of the end zone, and Jones needed on a lot of his centered tosses. It's specifically remarkable considering this was a complication early in training school. There was actually a bunch of good for Jones, but it was actually almost enough. Jones is actually accurately participating in far better due to the fact that the opener. Possessing newbie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 lawns) definitely helps.Eye-popping stat: Prior to leaving the video game in the fourth one-fourth with a concussion, Nabers always kept contributing to his reports. He came to be the initial player in NFL past with a minimum of 25 events as well as 3 goals in his first four career games when he found a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second one-fourth. He currently possesses 35 celebrations for 386 lawns and also three touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling trend: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been the nearby guardian on 4 goal passes presently this time, depending on to NFL Next Generation Stats. Banks was trumped again on Thursday night, this moment through Sheep for a 55-yard credit rating in the 2nd one-fourth. The Giants were actually hoping Banks would certainly enter the CB1 function this period. Rather, it has been a struggle so far.Biggest hole in the strategy: The Giants weren't capable to receive anything going in the running video game against the organization's worst run defense. Dallas entered into the contest making it possible for 185.7 lawns on the ground per video game. The Giants entered the activity believing they will have excellence however possessed simply 29 lawns rushing in the first half-- and also they do with 26 yards on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
