Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday evening's video game, the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys shared final area in the NFC East at 1-2, an activity responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and also Philadelphia Eagles.The Cowboys scored 2 first-half goals as well as limited the Giants to 3 field goals to lead 14-9 at the one-half. It was a protective war the remainder of the means, as neither crew racked up a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas grabbed its 2nd succeed of the time with a final score of 20-15, but star side rusher Micah Parsons was taken off the industry late in the video game with a left side ankle/foot personal injury. He mentioned thereafter that X-rays were actually adverse as well as he is going to receive an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie receiver Malik Nabers also went out the game in the fourth one-fourth after going through a concussion.Here are the best essential traits to know from Thursday evening for each teams: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed not contact the media before Thursday's video game against the Giants. He mentioned he would certainly communicate "blog post succeed." The Cowboys acquired the win, yet it wasn't an imaginative elegance. Having said that, after Dallas was actually humiliated in back-to-back home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only thing that mattered was actually obtaining a succeed on a short week.Being 2-2 is so much better than 1-3. Possessed the Cowboys shed, it would possess denoted the very first time they dropped three September video games due to the fact that 2001, and they will have remained in final area in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, specifically in the 1st half along with touchdown exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 lawns) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The self defense finally quit the operate and stiffened in the hole region, keeping the Giants to 5 field goals.Prescott has actually currently won thirteen directly versus the Giants. His final loss came in 2016 as a newbie. He tied the second-longest gain touch by a quarterback against a singular challenger because quarterback stats were actually first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo Costs 13 straight times from 2003 to 2010, and also Steve Youthful defeated the Rams thirteen right coming from 1987 to 1998. Prescott will definitely receive an opportunity at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising style: When Lamb has some side project issues, the greatest seems to find out of him. Throughout in 2015's reduction at San Francisco, Lamb kept to himself on the sideline and afterwards adhered to along with six games with at the very least 11 catches and seven activities with much more than 100 backyards. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Sheep had a spat along with Prescott and also carried out certainly not contact the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually regretful as well as stated he would certainly be a lot better. In the initial one-half alone, he possessed 6 catches for 94 backyards (both season highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He possesses three field goals of 60 yards in his career, featuring a 60-yarder in the 3rd fourth versus the Giants. That's one off the NFL report secured through Brett Maher, that produced four along with the Cowboys over two different jobs. Aubrey produced a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 from 60 backyards this season. The rest of the league is actually 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver lining: The Cowboys are going to have 10 times to prepare for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The moment will certainly help due to the fact that there is actually still a great deal that needs to be repaired, despite having the succeed. In the past three activities, resisting quarterbacks have missed on simply 19 elapseds. Against the Saints as well as Ravens, that was reasonable because both crews were so prevalent on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones possessed a lot of opportunity to throw for much of the video game after earlier being actually tortured by the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 attend 8 games before Thursday. Oh, and also they were actually imposed penalty on nine times in the initial 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 failed to happen away along with a win. After final time, when the Giants were outscored 89-17 in their two conferences along with the Cowboys, this needs to be actually considered as improvement, right?Sure, there are actually no moral triumphes in the NFL, but this was the 3rd straight come in the best direction for the Giants (1-3) after a rough opener.The space, at the very least to some degree, has limited between the division rivals. Dallas still owns the Giants. It has actually succeeded 14 of recent 15 competitions, and Prescott has beaten all of them 13 direct opportunities. The big apple still isn't fairly there certainly yet, however this showed it goes to least improving.QB breakdown: Jones was actually reliable, completing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% completion) for 281 gardens along with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the ultimate secs. But the Giants were actually stayed out of completion zone, and also Jones was short on many of his centered tosses. It's especially notable considering this was a concern early in training school. There was actually a ton of helpful for Jones, however it was almost adequate. Jones is actually plainly participating in better due to the fact that the opener. Having rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 yards) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Just before leaving the activity in the fourth one-fourth with a blast, Nabers kept contributing to his files. He became the very first player in NFL background with at least 25 functions and also 3 goals in his 1st 4 career activities when he saw a 3-yard elapsed early in the second fourth. He right now has 35 functions for 386 yards and 3 goals in four games.Troubling style: Top Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been actually the closest defender on 4 goal passes currently this season, depending on to NFL Next Generation Stats. Financial institutions was actually trumped once again on Thursday night, this time around through Sheep for a 55-yard credit rating in the 2nd fourth. The Giants were actually hoping Banking companies will step into the CB1 job this time. Instead, it has been a struggle thus far.Biggest gap in the strategy: The Giants weren't capable to obtain anything going in the running activity versus the league's worst operate defense. Dallas came into the contest enabling 185.7 backyards on the ground every game. The Giants came into the activity thinking they would possess results but had only 29 lawns entering the very first fifty percent-- and they finished with 26 lawns on 24 holds.-- Jordan RaananNext video game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
