New York entered this game with the league's worst record and a tough schedule. If they had lost to the Raiders, the Giants would have secured the No. 1 pick.
But of course, no team is trying to lose on game day, and the Giants showed that right in the first quarter after an interception by linebacker Bobby Okereke as Geno Smith and the Raiders offense were moving into the Giants' red zone.
Five plays later, the Giants turned the turnover into their first points of the game when Devin Singletary scored from one yard out to make it 7-0.
The Raiders would answer with a field goal on the ensuing drive, but Dart, a rookie who has shined despite the Giants' results this season, wanted to get back into the end zone. He rushed 12 yards up the middle for the first of his two rushing touchdowns in the game.
The Giants led 17-3 before halftime and secured a chance to snap a nine-game losing streak.

Smith, however, hoped his pass to Tyler Lockett would get the Raiders back in the game, but the ensuing kickoff proved otherwise.
Deonte Banks, the Giants' first-round pick who didn't live up to those expectations, showed off his skills on the return play, going 95 yards to the house to make the ball game 27-10.
The Giants sealed their victory with a 15-play, 75-yard drive that ended with Dart running into the end zone on fourth-and-1 near the goal line.
Wan'Dale Robinson may not have found the end zone for New York, but he led the game with 11 receptions for 113 yards in a stunning performance.
