    ### NFL Week 4 Recap: Key Highlights and Insights

    #### Cowboys vs. Giants
    In a tightly contested NFC East matchup, the Dallas Cowboys edged out the New York Giants 20-15 on Thursday night. Despite the win, the Cowboys' performance was marred by penalties and struggles on both sides of the ball. Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb were instrumental in the early stages, but the team's run game was lackluster, managing only 80 yards and averaging 3.5 yards per carry.

    The Giants, led by Daniel Jones, had a strong passing game, with Jones connecting on 29 of 40 passes for 281 yards. However, the absence of a viable run game and key injuries, including a concussion to rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, hindered their ability to score touchdowns. The Giants' secondary was also a concern, with starting cornerback Caelen Carson inactive and Andrew Booth benched at halftime.

    #### Injury Concerns
    The Cowboys' defense is facing significant injury worries, particularly with edge-rusher Micah Parsons being carted off the field in the fourth quarter.

    #### League News
    - The NFL has partnered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to transform select NFL stadiums into disaster response and recovery centers. This initiative includes stadiums like Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, and MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

    #### Player Performances and Trends
    - Daniel Jones of the Giants has shown improvement since his poor Week 1 performance but still faces criticism for his inability to convert drives into touchdowns. Jones relied heavily on Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson, who combined for 23 of his 29 completions.
    - The Cowboys' defense, despite its struggles, managed to hold the Giants to 5 for 16 on third downs and completely erased their run game early in the game.

    #### Upcoming Matchups
    - Week 4 features several intriguing matchups, including an NFC North showdown between the undefeated Vikings and the Green Bay Packers, a playoff rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and a Sunday night battle between the Buffalo Bills and the Baltimore Ravens.
