Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering Thursday night's video game, the New york city Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed last place in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored pair of first-half touchdowns as well as restricted the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a protective fight the remainder of the technique, as neither team racked up a goal in the second half.Dallas picked up its own second win of the season with an ultimate rating of 20-15, yet superstar edge rusher Micah Parsons was carted off the industry late in the game along with a remaining ankle/foot personal injury. He claimed subsequently that X-rays were actually negative and he is going to receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie recipient Malik Nabers also went out the activity in the fourth one-fourth after suffering a concussion.Here are the best vital factors to know from Thursday evening for each crews: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott carried out not speak with the media before Thursday's game against the Giants. He claimed he would speak "article gain." The Cowboys got the succeed, yet it had not been an artistic charm. However, after Dallas was actually embarrassed in next home losses to the New Orleans Saints and also Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually getting a succeed on a brief week.Being 2-2 is actually a great deal better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys shed, it would certainly have noted the very first time they lost 3 September games considering that 2001, as well as they would certainly have been in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, especially in the initial one-half along with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 lawns) and Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The self defense eventually ceased the operate and stiffened at a loss zone, holding the Giants to five industry goals.Prescott has right now won 13 directly versus the Giants. His final loss can be found in 2016 as a novice. He connected the second-longest gain streak by a quarterback versus a single enemy because quarterback stats were actually 1st tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo Expenses 13 straight times coming from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Young defeated the Rams 13 straight coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to acquire an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Lamb possesses some subsidiary issues, the best seems to be to find away from him. Throughout last year's loss at San Francisco, Sheep maintained to themself on the subsidiary and after that observed with six games along with at least 11 catches and seven activities with much more than 100 yards. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Sheep had a spat along with Prescott and carried out not speak to the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Sheep was actually regretful and also stated he would be actually much better. In the first fifty percent alone, he possessed six catches for 94 lawns (both time highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually played 21 ready the Cowboys. He has 3 basket of 60 gardens in his profession, consisting of a 60-yarder in the 3rd quarter versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL file held by Brett Maher, who helped make four with the Cowboys over 2 different stints. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder last week against the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 coming from 60 lawns this period. The remainder of the league is 0-for-2, according to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will definitely have 10 times to get ready for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will definitely help because there is still a lot that needs to become corrected, even with the win. Before 3 video games, resisting quarterbacks have skipped on simply 19 elapseds. Against the Saints and Ravens, that was actually logical considering that both groups were actually so leading on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed excessive opportunity to throw for much of the game after recently being agonized by the Cowboys, that sacked him 24 attend 8 activities prior to Thursday. Oh, as well as they were punished 9 times in the very first 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 really did not come away with a gain. After last time, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their pair of meetings with the Cowboys, this needs to be viewed as progress, right?Sure, there are no ethical success in the NFL, however this was the third organized come in the right instructions for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The void, at least relatively, has tightened between the division competitors. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has gained 14 of recent 15 matchups, as well as Prescott has beaten all of them 13 direct opportunities. The big apple still isn't quite there as yet, but this showed it's at minimum improving.QB failure: Jones was effective, accomplishing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% conclusion) for 281 lawns with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the last secs. But the Giants were stayed out of the end area, as well as Jones was short on most of his centered throws. It is actually particularly notable considering this was a complication early in training school. There was a ton of helpful for Jones, but it was actually not quite enough. Jones is plainly participating in better due to the fact that the opener. Possessing rookie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) certainly helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving the video game in the 4th one-fourth along with a concussion, Nabers always kept including in his documents. He became the initial player in NFL history with a minimum of 25 receptions as well as three goals in his first four profession video games when he caught a 3-yard pass early in the 2nd one-fourth. He right now has 35 functions for 386 yards as well as three touchdowns in 4 games.Troubling trend: Leading Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has been actually the nearest defender on 4 goal passes presently this period, according to NFL Next Gen Statistics. Banking companies was beat once again on Thursday evening, this moment through Sheep for a 55-yard rating in the 2nd quarter. The Giants were actually hoping Financial institutions would certainly enter the CB1 part this time. As an alternative, it has been actually a struggle so far.Biggest gap in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't capable to receive everything going in the operating video game versus the league's worst run self defense. Dallas entered the competition permitting 185.7 backyards on the ground per game. The Giants entered the video game presuming they would have results but possessed simply 29 gardens rushing in the first fifty percent-- as well as they do with 26 backyards on 24 carries.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
