Overview
- New York snapped a nine-game skid with a 34-10 road win, improving to 3-13 and dropping Las Vegas to an NFL-worst 2-14.
- The draft order now has the Raiders at No. 1 and the Giants at No. 2, with New York only reclaiming the top slot if it loses to Dallas and Las Vegas beats Kansas City.
- Las Vegas placed Maxx Crosby, Brock Bowers and Jeremy Chinn on season-ending injured reserve before the game, a sequence that fueled outside tanking allegations.
- Raiders quarterback Geno Smith left with an ankle injury after two interceptions and was ruled out, further spotlighting the team’s quarterback uncertainty.
- Giants rookie Jaxson Dart passed for 207 yards and ran for two touchdowns, as Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza is widely projected as a leading No. 1 candidate tied to Las Vegas’ likely quarterback search.
