STAR OF THE GAME
Marshawn Lynch rushes for a season-high 101 yards and a TD to help Oakland (6-6) defeat New York (2-10). His 51-yard scoring run on the team's third offensive play gives the Raiders a 7-0 lead. He averages a season-high 5.9 yards on 17 carries as Oakland has 119 rushing yards on 29 attempts. His 51-yard TD run is also a season best. Lynch's 21-yard catch on third-and-7 helps set up DeAndre Washington's 9-yard scoring early early in the fourth quarter.

KEY STATS
Raiders linebacker Bruce Irvin contributes a sack, two tackles for loss, a forced fumble and eight combined tackles. Defensive end Khalil Mack has a sack, forced fumble and fumble recovery.
The Oakland defense has its second straight strong game, limiting New York to 265 total yards, forcing two Geno Smith lost fumbles and getting three sacks. The Giants have only 65 rushing yards and convert just five of 14 third-down tries.
The Raiders' Derek Carr is 22 of 36 passing for 287 yards and a TD and a 95.5 rating. The Giants' Geno Smith is 21 of 34 passing for 212 yards and a TD and an 89.3 rating.

The Raiders' Cordarrelle Patterson has a season-high 97 receiving yards on four catches. His 59-yard play on a catch-and-run helps set up Johnny Holton's 9-yard TD reception with under 5 minutes remaining.
