"With the win, which was Mike Kafka's first as interim head coach after losing his first five tries, Big Blue (3-13) lost its stronghold on the top selection at this spring's draft to the Raiders (2-14) in what was just the fourth meeting in NFL history (post-merger) that featured the two worst teams playing each other during the final two weeks of the season."
"Still, New York could come away with the top pick should it lose to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18 and the Raiders beat the Patrick Mahomes-less Kansas City Chiefs. Regardless, Sunday provided a much-needed sliver of good feeling for a franchise that has been mired in dysfunction. This was the largest margin of victory since a 38-10 triumph over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17 of the 2022 season."
The New York Giants ended a nine-game losing streak with a 34-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Interim coach Mike Kafka notched his first win after five straight losses. The result moved the Giants to 3-13 and dropped the Raiders to 2-14, altering control of the projected No. 1 overall draft pick while leaving Week 18 scenarios that could still change final draft position. Jaxson Dart threw for 207 yards and rushed for 48 with two touchdowns. Wan'Dale Robinson caught 11 passes for 113 yards and became the first receiver 5-foot-8 or shorter to reach 1,000 yards since 1989. The Giants defense intercepted Geno Smith twice; Smith left with an ankle injury and leads the league with 17 interceptions.
