Five takeaways from the Dallas Cowboys defeating the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football

Five takeaways from the Dallas Cowboys defeating the New York Giants on Thursday Night FootballGetty
Plenty to unpack in this NFC East division game.

After a two-game home skid, the Dallas Cowboys got back on track on Thursday Night Football by grinding out a 20-15 road win over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Here are five takeaways from the game:

Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb are in sync again

After a dismal Week 3 in which Lamb had 67 yards receiving, fumbled and was kept out the end zone, the star wideout more than made up for it in Week 4.

Against the Giants on Thursday night, Lamb hauled in seven catches for 98 yards and this touchdown, which came on a 55-yard hookup in single coverage that the wide receiver took to the house, making it look all too easy.

Just like that, the Cowboys snap their home skid and return to the win column with their quarterback and star wideout on the same page again.

Dak absolutely owns the Giants

How's this for absolute domination?

With Dallas defeating its NFC East division rival, Prescott now has 13 straight wins over the Giants — tied for the second-longest winning streak by a starting QB vs. one opponent in NFL history.

Prescott and the Cowboys will host the Giants in Dallas on November 28 with a chance to add to his streak.

The Cowboys' run defense can be smothering

The Cowboys' suffocating run defense was a major key in keeping the Giants out the end zone under the national spotlight.

They allowed just 26 rushing yards for a average of 1.1 yards per carry.

Having nothing doing on the ground paved the way for Daniel Jones to throw it out 40 times and although the Giants moved the ball passing, they couldn't muster a touchdown in the air either.

A dominant night for the Cowboys' defense.

Concern over Micah Parsons

Parsons, the Cowboys' Pro Bowl linebacker, was a terror on the pass rush once again.

But Dallas churning out a victory over the Giants came at a price as Parsons was carted off the field without a shoe on his left foot during the fourth quarter as he went to take an X-ray.

That's a huge cause of concern for the Cowboys who hope their star linebacker is OK.

Giants have a star in Malik Nabers

The Giants' loss drops them to 1-3 on the season.

However, a star emerged for Big Blue as rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers produced 12 receptions on 15 targets for 115 yards, flexing some major star potential as the No. 6 draft pick out of LSU before leaving the game late in the fourth quarter due to a concussion.

Despite that setback, the Giants have a great player in the 21-year-old when he gets back on the field.
