Thursday Night Football preview

One team entered the season with playoff aspirations and good vibes after negotiating contract extensions with its biggest offensive stars. The other entered with plenty of uncertainty after losing its star running back and forcing its starting quarterback into a final "prove it" year.

Both the Cowboys and the Giants are 1-2. Each team's win was against the Browns.

The Cowboys enter Week 4 coming off of a 28-25 loss to the Ravens at home. After scoring six points in the first three quarters combined, Dallas scored 19 unanswered in the fourth quarter and came up just short of completing a massive comeback.

Ultimately, the Cowboys' defense could not stop Baltimore's rushing attack. Running back Derrick Henry tallied 151 yards on 25 carries (6.0 yards per carry) with two touchdowns. Quarterback Lamar Jackson had 87 rushing yards on 14 attempts (6.2 YPC) and a rushing touchdown of his own.

Quarterback Dak Prescott finished 28-of-51 on pass attempts for 379 yards and two touchdowns.

New York enters with more momentum after getting its first win of the year against Cleveland with a 21-15 victory in Week 3. The Giants bounced back after fumbling the opening kickoff and allowing a touchdown on the first play of the ensuing drive to score 21 unanswered points. It proved to be enough to hold on in the end.

New York's pass rush feasted on a banged-up Browns offensive line. The group sacked quarterback Deshaun Watson eight times on the day, the highest total by a Giants pass-rush group since 2014. Nine players recorded at least half a sack.

Quarterback Daniel Jones was 24-of-34 for 236 yards and two touchdowns. Rookie wideout Malik Nabers was responsible for 78 of those yards and both touchdowns with his eight catches.

Both the Giants and Cowboys have a chance to reach .500 in their "Thursday Night Football" clash. Dallas has won the last six games against New York, dating back to 2021.
