BY THE NUMBERS 2: Touchdown passes caught by Randy Moss against the Giants, his first multiple-touchdown game of the season 8: Number of receptions made by Doug Gabriel against New York, setting a new career-high for the third-year receiver
5: Interceptions this season by the Raiders, the all-time low for an NFL franchise in a non-strike year
96.8: Quarterback rating for
Kerry Collins
, his highest mark since Oct. 30.
WHAT WENT RIGHT
X Robert Gallery's cracked fibula forced reserve offensive lineman
Chad Slaughter
into the lineup and the career back-up more than held his own against Giants defensive end
Michael Strahan
, though he did poke Strahan in the eye at one point.
X Just before halftime the Raiders drove 62 yards in 97 seconds to score a touchdown, getting into the end zone on Doug Gabriel's 8-yard catch from QB Kerry Collins. It was the most efficient two-minute drill Oakland's offense has run all season
X Defensive end
Derrick Burgess
recorded his team-record 16th sack of the season and forced a fumble on the same play. It was the third forced fumble this season for the Pro Bowl-bound veteran
X A
Chris Carr
fumble, on the ensuing kickoff following a Giants score, was overturned after the Raiders made their only successful challenge in three attempts
WHAT WENT WRONG
X The Giants were backed up deep near their own end zone when running back
Tiki Barber
took a handoff, juked two Oakland defenders then sprinted untouched for a 95-yard touchdown, the longest run from scrimmage by an opponent in Raiders' franchise history
X Down 20-14, Oakland appeared to get a break when Chris Carr fielded a punt deep in his own territory and returned it to midfield. But
Denard Walker
was called for holding on the play, negating Carr's big return and backing the Raiders up deep near their own end zone. They ultimately punted and Chad Morton's long return set up a short New York touchdown that put the game away
X A pass interference call against New York set Oakland up on the Giants' 1-yard line but four straight running plays -- the last of which was a quarterback sneak by Collins -- netted no gain
X Playing without 1,000-yard back
LaMont Jordan
for the second straight game Oakland's running game never got going.
Zack Crockett
gained just 27 yards total while the Raiders were held to 25 yards as a team
