During Thursday Night Football's primetime matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, there were some unruly fans in the crowd at MetLife Stadium, who also wanted to get on some action.
In view of a fight that broke out, a fan wearing a Lawrence Taylor jersey was seen catching blows from a guy wearing a Troy Aikman jersey.
To point out, it was just the beginning of the game and the home team fan was repeatedly getting punched in the head (at least 10 times), with his jersey coming off. That is to say, usually Giants fans don't feel this much pain until later in the game.

As it turned out, the Cowboys were winning on and off the field, as quarterback Dak Prescott picked up his 13th straight victory over the Giants, with a final score of 20-15.
In view of the game, it's never usually a good thing when your kicker is your leading scorer, as Greg Joseph hit five field goals (5/5, longest FG- 52 yards), while no one else on the team scored.
Daniel Jones passed for 281 yards (29/40 completions) but had 0 touchdowns and one interception. Then about the only bright spot for the team was rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, who had 12 catches for 115 yards, a week after he had two touchdowns (youngest in NFL history).
As the No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Nabers now has an astonishing 35 catches for 386 yards and three touchdowns through his first four NFL games.
Unfortunately, the 21-year-old rookie phenom had to leave late in the game after suffering a concussion, but appears to be okay, his status for Week 5 (October 6 @ Seattle Seahawks) is "Questionable."

To note, in the last 12 years the NFC East rivals have met in primetime matchups 10 different times, and the Giants have won only one of those games (1-9).
The two teams will face-off again Week 13 when the Cowboys host the Giants at AT&T Stadium on November 28 (4:30 pm ET).
