Jaxson Dart and Brian Burns continued their climbs up the franchise record books as the Giants rolled to a convincing 34–10 victory over the Raiders.
The Giants struck first late in the opening quarter when running back Devin Singletary capped a short field with a 1-yard touchdown run following a 47-yard interception return by Bobby Okereke. Las Vegas answered with a Daniel Carlson field goal, but Dart quickly responded, scoring on a 12-yard quarterback keeper to extend the lead.
New York carried a 17–3 advantage into halftime after kicker Ben Sauls connected on a 32-yard field goal, then opened the second half with another Sauls kick to push the margin to 20–3. The Raiders briefly gained momentum on a 4-yard touchdown pass from Geno Smith to Tyler Lockett, but Deonte Banks immediately silenced it by returning the ensuing kickoff 95 yards for a score — the first kickoff return touchdown by the Giants since 2024 and the first of Banks’ career.
Dart sealed the outcome with a 2-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter, giving the Giants their largest lead of the afternoon.
Dart finished 22-of-30 passing for 207 yards while adding 48 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground. His ninth rushing touchdown of the season set a new franchise record for quarterbacks, surpassing Daniel Jones, and ranks third all-time among rookie quarterbacks in NFL history.
Wan’Dale Robinson delivered a standout performance, hauling in 11 catches for 113 yards to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career. His 92 receptions rank sixth in single-season franchise history and place him alongside Odell Beckham Jr. as the only Giants with multiple 90-catch seasons.
Defensively, Brian Burns continued his dominant season with 1.5 sacks, three quarterback hits, and four tackles. His 16.5 sacks now tie Jason Pierre-Paul for the fourth-most in a single season in franchise history, while his 30 quarterback hits are the most by a Giant since the stat began being tracked in 2006.
Abdul Carter and Bobby Okereke also played key roles, with Carter extending his streak of games with a sack contribution to four and Okereke posting seven tackles and a momentum-swinging interception return.
With the victory, the Giants’ offense reached 21 rushing touchdowns on the season, tying for the third-most in franchise history and underscoring a balanced, physical approach that continues to produce results.
