Live from New York: Giants crush Raiders, 44-7
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – David Carr opened the final quarter with completions to Hakeem Nicks of 17 and 14 yards. Nicks beat Chris Johnson on the opening play of the quarter and then a few plays later, he won the battle versus Nnamdi Asomugha, escaped his grasp and set the Giants up for another score.
Lawrence Tynes nailed his third field goal of the day from 37-yards out to extend New York’s lead to 44-7.
JaMarcus Russell opened the next Raider drive with a 29-yard toss to Zach Miller. But on the next play, Miller was flagged for holding and Oakland faced a 1st and 20. Russell again found Miller, this time for 13-yards and after a unsuccessful Michael Bush run on 2nd down, the Raiders faced a 3rd and 11. Former Raider Dave Tollefson sacked Russell on third-down – the sixth in the afternoon for the Giants – ending the Oakland threat.
New York started running out the clock midway through the 4th quarter with running back Gartrell Johnson and a Carr scramble of 11-yards on 3rd and 11.
The Giants had piled up nearly 500-yards of total offense approaching the 2:00 warning.
