Sep 27, 2024, 11:22 PM ETEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.-- Getting into Thursday night's video game, the The big apple Giants and Dallas Cowboys discussed last area in the NFC East at 1-2, a video game responsible for the 2-1 Washington Commanders and Philly Eagles.The Cowboys scored pair of first-half touchdowns and restricted the Giants to three basket to lead 14-9 at the half. It was actually a protective struggle the rest of the way, as neither team scored a touchdown in the 2nd half.Dallas got its second gain of the period along with a final rating of 20-15, however celebrity side rusher Micah Parsons was actually ferried off the area behind time in the game with a nigh side ankle/foot personal injury. He stated subsequently that X-rays were negative and he will definitely get an MRI on Friday.Giants' rookie recipient Malik Nabers likewise went out the activity in the 4th one-fourth after enduring a concussion.Here are actually the best important factors to know coming from Thursday evening for each groups: Robert Deutsch-Imagn ImagesDallas CowboysDak Prescott performed certainly not contact the media before Thursday's game against the Giants. He claimed he would certainly speak "post gain." The Cowboys obtained the succeed, yet it had not been a creative charm. Having said that, after Dallas was humiliated in next home losses to the New Orleans Saints as well as Baltimore Ravens, the only trait that mattered was actually acquiring a succeed on a quick week.Being 2-2 is actually a lot better than 1-3. Had the Cowboys dropped, it would have noted the very first time they shed 3 September video games considering that 2001, and they would have resided in final location in the NFC East.Prescott was actually alert, specifically in the initial fifty percent with goal exchanges CeeDee Sheep (55 gardens) as well as Rico Dowdle (15 lawns). The defense eventually ceased the run as well as stabilized at a loss area, holding the Giants to five field goals.Prescott has actually currently gained 13 right against the Giants. His final reduction can be found in 2016 as a novice. He tied the second-longest gain touch through a quarterback versus a solitary opponent considering that quarterback stats were very first tracked in 1950. Tom Brady trumped the Buffalo grass Expenses 13 direct times coming from 2003 to 2010, and Steve Youthful beat the Rams thirteen directly from 1987 to 1998. Prescott is going to acquire a possibility at No. 14 on Thanksgiving.Promising pattern: When Sheep has some subsidiary concerns, the most effective seems to be ahead out of him. During the course of in 2014's loss at San Francisco, Lamb kept to themself on the subsidiary and afterwards adhered to along with 6 games along with at the very least 11 catches as well as seven games along with more than one hundred gardens. In last week's loss to New Orleans, Sheep possessed a squabble with Prescott and also did not contact the media after the activity. On Tuesday, Lamb was actually regretful as well as mentioned he will be better. In the 1st fifty percent alone, he had six catches for 94 backyards (both season highs) and a touchdown.Eye-popping stat: Brandon Aubrey has actually participated in 21 games for the Cowboys. He has 3 field goals of 60 backyards in his job, consisting of a 60-yarder in the third quarter against the Giants. That's one off the NFL record kept by Brett Maher, who created 4 with the Cowboys over 2 different jobs. Aubrey helped make a 60-yarder last week versus the Ravens. He is actually 2-for-2 coming from 60 yards this season. The remainder of the league is 0-for-2, depending on to ESPN Research.Silver cellular lining: The Cowboys will possess 10 times to prepare yourself for the presently unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. The amount of time is going to help since there is actually still a whole lot that needs to have to be improved, despite having the gain. Before three video games, opposing quarterbacks have actually missed on merely 19 successfully pases. Against the Saints and also Ravens, that was logical because each groups were so dominant on the run. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had too much time to throw for much of the game after formerly being tormented due to the Cowboys, who sacked him 24 times in 8 games prior to Thursday. Oh, and they were actually penalized nine times in the first fifty percent 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 versus the Cowboys, but they still really did not happen away with a succeed. After last period, when the Giants were actually outscored 89-17 in their two conferences along with the Cowboys, this must be actually considered as improvement, right?Sure, there are no ethical success in the NFL, but this was actually the third straight intervene the ideal instructions for the Giants (1-3) after an ugly opener.The void, at the very least relatively, has actually tightened in between the branch competitors. Dallas still possesses the Giants. It has won 14 of recent 15 matchups, as well as Prescott has actually trumped them 13 direct times. Nyc still isn't quite there certainly as yet, but this confirmed it goes to least improving.QB breakdown: Jones was actually dependable, accomplishing 29 of 40 successfully pases (73% completion) for 281 yards with an interception on a Hail storm Mary in the final secs. Yet the Giants were actually kept out of completion area, and also Jones needed on many of his centered tosses. It's particularly distinctive considering this was a concern early in training camp. There was a ton of suitable for Jones, however it was actually almost sufficient. Jones is accurately playing far better due to the fact that the opener. Possessing rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (12 catches for 115 gardens) surely helps.Eye-popping stat: Before leaving behind the game in the fourth quarter with a blast, Nabers kept contributing to his files. He became the initial player in NFL past history with at least 25 celebrations as well as three goals in his very first 4 occupation activities when he got a 3-yard successfully pass early in the second fourth. He currently possesses 35 receptions for 386 backyards and three goals in four games.Troubling pattern: Best Giants cornerback Deonte Banks has actually been the local defender on 4 goal passes already this season, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. Financial institutions was actually beat once again on Thursday evening, this time around through Sheep for a 55-yard score in the second quarter. The Giants were actually hoping Financial institutions would step into the CB1 role this season. Rather, it has been actually a battle therefore far.Biggest opening in the strategic plan: The Giants weren't capable to get everything entering the operating game against the game's worst operate self defense. Dallas entered into the competition making it possible for 185.7 yards on the ground every game. The Giants came into the game thinking they would have excellence but had just 29 backyards entering the very first half-- and they do with 26 yards on 24 brings.-- Jordan RaananNext game: at Seat Seahawks (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 6).
