The New York Giants<\/a> flipped the “Tank Bowl” script dominantly, routing the Las Vegas Raiders, 34-10, at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday to snap several ugly skids.<\/p>\n

Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart bounced back in a big way, completing 22 of 30 passes for 207 yards while rushing for two touchdowns. Wan’Dale Robinson delivered with 11 catches for 113 yards, officially surpassing 1,000 receiving yards on the season.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Deonte Banks ignited momentum with a thrilling 95-yard kickoff return score in the third quarter. Linebacker Brian Burns added 1.5 sacks.<\/p>\n

Big Blue controlled the game, ending a nine-game losing streak and franchise-record 13-game road drought at 3-13 — draft position be damned.<\/p>\n
