Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Entering into Thursday night's game, the New york city Giants and also Dallas Cowboys shared last spot in the NFC East at 1-2, a game behind the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored two first-half touchdowns and also restricted the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was actually a protective battle the remainder of the means, as neither staff scored a touchdown in the second half.Dallas grabbed its 2nd win of the period along with an ultimate rating of 20-15, but star edge rusher Micah Parsons was actually carted off the industry late in the game along with a nigh side ankle/foot injury. He mentioned later that X-rays were actually bad and he is going to acquire an MRI on Friday.Giants' newbie recipient Malik Nabers likewise went out the game in the 4th quarter after experiencing a concussion.Here are actually the most essential points to know from Thursday night for each teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott did not talk with the media before Thursday's game against the Giants. He said he will communicate "article gain." The Cowboys got the win, however it had not been a creative beauty. Having said that, after Dallas was humiliated in back-to-back home reductions to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually acquiring a win on a brief week.Being 2-2 is actually a lot far better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys lost, it would have noted the very first time they dropped three September video games since 2001, and also they will possess resided in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was sharp, specifically in the 1st one-half along with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Lamb (55 yards) and Rico Dowdle (15 backyards). The defense eventually stopped the operate and tensed in the hole region, keeping the Giants to 5 industry goals.Prescott has right now won thirteen straight versus the Giants. His final reduction came in 2016 as a rookie. He linked the second-longest gain streak through a quarterback against a singular challenger given that quarterback stats were first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady defeated the Buffalo grass Costs 13 direct times from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful trumped the Rams thirteen straight from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will acquire a chance at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising fad: When Sheep possesses some sideline concerns, the greatest seems to follow away from him. During the course of in 2015's reduction at San Francisco, Sheep maintained to themself on the sideline and then adhered to along with 6 games with at least 11 catches as well as 7 video games with more than 100 yards. In recently's loss to New Orleans, Lamb had a spat along with Prescott as well as carried out certainly not talk to the media after the video game. On Tuesday, Sheep was regretful and claimed he would certainly be actually a lot better. In the first one-half alone, he had six catches for 94 gardens (both time highs) as well as a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He has three basket of 60 lawns in his occupation, featuring a 60-yarder in the 3rd one-fourth against the Giants. That is actually one off the NFL record kept by Brett Maher, who made 4 with the Cowboys over pair of different stints. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder recently against the Ravens. He is 2-for-2 coming from 60 yards this season. The remainder of the league is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver coating: The Cowboys will certainly have 10 days to prepare yourself for the currently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The time will definitely help due to the fact that there is actually still a whole lot that requires to become corrected, despite having the win. Over the last three video games, opposing quarterbacks have overlooked on only 19 elapseds. Against the Saints as well as Ravens, that was understandable considering that both staffs were actually thus prevalent on the operate. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed a lot of opportunity to throw for much of the game after formerly being tortured by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend 8 games before Thursday. Oh, and they were actually imposed penalty on 9 attend the very first one-half alone.-- Todd ArcherNext activity: at Pittsburgh Steelers (8:20 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6.) Luke Hales/Getty ImagesNew York GiantsThe Giants kept it close against the Cowboys, however they still didn't come away along with a win. After final season, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two appointments along with the Cowboys, this must be actually considered as development, right?Sure, there are actually no moral victories in the NFL, however this was actually the third organized intervene the correct direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, at least to some extent, has tightened in between the division opponents. Dallas still has the Giants. It has actually succeeded 14 of the past 15 matchups, and also Prescott has actually beaten them 13 straight opportunities. The big apple still isn't pretty there certainly as yet, however this showed it goes to the very least improving.QB break down: Jones was actually efficient, completing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% completion) for 281 gardens along with an interception on a Hailstorm Mary in the ultimate seconds. However the Giants were actually shut out of the end area, as well as Jones needed on a lot of his deep throws. It's especially noteworthy considering this was a concern early in training camp. There was a lot of great for Jones, but it was actually almost sufficient. Jones is plainly playing better considering that the opener. Possessing newbie pass receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving behind the game in the 4th quarter with a concussion, Nabers maintained contributing to his documents. He came to be the first player in NFL record along with a minimum of 25 functions and three goals in his very first four profession activities when he saw a 3-yard successfully pass early in the 2nd quarter. He now possesses 35 receptions for 386 yards as well as 3 touchdowns in four games.Troubling fad: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the nearest protector on 4 touchdown passes already this time, depending on to NFL Next Generation Statistics. Banking companies was actually beat again on Thursday night, this time by Sheep for a 55-yard credit rating in the second one-fourth. The Giants were wishing Banking companies would certainly enter the CB1 duty this season. Instead, it has been a battle thus far.Biggest hole in the tactical plan: The Giants weren't capable to acquire anything using the operating game against the game's worst operate defense. Dallas entered the competition permitting 185.7 yards on the ground per activity. The Giants came into the video game presuming they would certainly have results but had only 29 lawns rushing in the initial half-- and they finished with 26 gardens on 24 lugs.-- Jordan RaananNext activity: at Seattle Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
