Giants halt 9-game skid; Raiders in driver's seat for No. 1 pick
- Published Sunday, Dec. 28, 2025, the New York Giants defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 34-10 at Allegiant Stadium, ending a nine-game losing streak for both teams.
- Raiders coach Pete Carroll said the team was missing players after Las Vegas pared its roster and placed Brock Bowers, tight end, and Maxx Crosby, defensive end and Pro Bowler, on injured reserve; Crosby did not attend after reportedly leaving Raiders headquarters in anger Friday.
- New York used a balanced attack, rushing for 155 yards with Devin Singletary scoring a 1-yard TD and rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart adding two rushing touchdowns and 48 yards on nine carries.
- The defeat leaves the Raiders with an 80% chance per ESPN to land the No. 1 pick with one game remaining next week versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
- Giants gain hope with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, while Las Vegas' loss likely shapes top draft prospects like Fernando Mendoza or Dante Moore, recalling the 2007 JaMarcus Russell pick.
