Giants-Raiders final score: Giants lose to Raiders, 30-6; lose QB Daniel Jones to knee injury

Any hope for a comeback this season was lost for the New York Giants after quarterback Daniel Jones knee buckled on the first play of the second quarter as the team lost to the Las Vegas Raiders 30-6 on Sunday.

The Giants are 2-7.

Jones appeared to have injured the knee on the last play of the first quarter as he tried to escape the Raiders’ pass rush. The fifth-year pro, just returning from a neck injury that sidelined him for the last three weeks, dropped back to pass to start the second quarter but fell to the ground with out being touched. Jones would be replaced by rookie Tommy DeVito, who was mostly ineffective in replacing the Giants starting quarterback.

Las Vegas ran out to a 24-0 lead at the half as the defense was unable to muster the effort they provided the week before against the New York Jets. Vegas, providing former Giant Antonio Pierce with his first win as an NFL head coach, was led by a ground attack spearheaded by Josh Jacobs, who had 98 yards on 26 carriers and two touchdowns.
