Overview
- New York beat Las Vegas 34-10 to move to 3-13, dropping the Raiders to 2-14 and into the current No. 1 slot for the 2026 NFL Draft.
- ESPN Analytics now gives the Raiders roughly an 80% chance at the top pick, while the Giants can only leapfrog them with a loss to Dallas and a Raiders win over Kansas City.
- Rookie Jaxson Dart accounted for two rushing touchdowns with 207 passing yards and 48 rushing yards, snapping New York’s nine-game skid and giving interim coach Mike Kafka his first win.
- The Raiders placed Maxx Crosby, Brock Bowers and Jeremy Chinn on season-ending IR before the game, and quarterback Geno Smith exited with an ankle injury after throwing two interceptions.
- With Las Vegas favored to draft first, attention turns to quarterback options such as Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza, while an earlier NFL Network report said the Giants would evaluate all options only if they landed the top pick.
