The Dallas Cowboys may not be taking home the trophy for beauty when it comes to Thursday Night Football Giants vs Dallas game, but they’ll take the ugly victory of 20-15 over the New York Giants, all right!
The Cowboys have lost two consecutive games, and therefore, they needed the victory, which they got by making 11 penalties out of 15. This gave Dallas the lead 14-6 after a first-half marquee of Rico Dowdle and CeeDee Lamb touchdowns. That is why the Giants just failed to grab the opportunity and consequently fell back.
GIANTS’ OFFENSE STALLED
Daniel Jones passed for 281 yards but could not find the end zone for his team. Rookie sensation Malik Nabers was exemplary, with twelve catches for 115 receiving yards, but was forced out by a head injury. The idea of Devin Singletary’s 24 yards on 14 carries? Not exactly impressive.
PRESOTTT’S GIANTS SLAYING goes right on!
Dak Prescott is now 13-0 in regular-season games against the New York Giants. He went 22-for-27 for 221 yards and two touchdowns. In the game of the week, CeeDee Lamb looked like a beast with seven catches, 98 yards receiving, and a touchdown.
The Cowboys enter the game on the back of a 13-game winning streak against the Giants, with whom they share the NFC East division.
On running, the New York Giants stunk up in week four against the Dallas Cowboys, running for a measly 27 yards on 23 designed runs. This led to a minus-49 yards on rush and, expected, the worst total RYOE for the Giants on their designed runs since 2016. In detail, Giant’s ball carriers average a minuscule -0.1 before being hit, and 48% of the time, they were hit before the line of scrimmage.
This poor performance was even though they were up against the Cowboy’s terrible run defense, which had given out 274 rushing yards the previous week. The Cowboy’s defense’s pressure rose significantly to get the Giants to only 1.1 yards per attempt, despite running back Devin Singletary only producing 24 yards off of 14 attempts.
The Giants’ failure to set up a good counterattack greatly contributed to a 20-15 defeat to the Cowboys. However, even though Daniel Jones threw 281 passing yards, the team could not get into the end zone and had to rely solely on five field goals, which ended the game.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The new york giants vs dallas cowboys match will be next on November 29, 2024, at 3. It will be at 12 am IST at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This will be their second meeting; the first game was scheduled for September 26, 2024, where the Cowboys beat the Giants 20-15 in Thursday Night Football.
Cowboys are now at 2-2 on the season and the Giants find themselves at 1-3, at the bottom of the NFC East.
What’s next for the Cowboys? Can they put it to further use?
