NFL Game Summary - Oakland at NY Giants

East Rutherford, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - Terrell Thomas' interception thwarted an Oakland drive and set up the go-ahead touchdown, as the New York Giants came from behind for a 24-20 victory over the Raiders at MetLife Stadium.

Andre Brown, in his first game of the season after recovering from a broken leg, scored from the one to put the Giants ahead late in the third quarter and finished the game with 115 yards on 30 carries.

The Giants (3-6) survived a multitude of mistakes, including a fumble on the opening kickoff that led to an Oakland touchdown and the third pick-six thrown by Eli Manning this season, to earn their third straight win after a disastrous 0-6 start.

Manning threw for 140 yards with a touchdown while completing only 12-of-22 passes in the victory, which was aided by a blocked punt return for a score. The Giants have now won six straight coming off a bye and snapped a five-game skid against AFC opponents.

Oakland (3-6) has lost two straight overall and eight in a row on the road dating back to last year.

Terrelle Pryor ran for the lone Raiders' lone offensive touchdown and completed only 11-of-26 passes for 122 yards with the crushing interception. He also lost a fumble to derail Oakland's last series.
