After a New York punt, the Raiders took over at their own 20-yard line with 1:02 remaining in the first half; George then hit consecutive passes to Jett for 25 yards to get into Giants territory. Two plays later, he found wide receiver Terry Mickens for a 10-yard gain, and then threw a screen pass to Kaufman for 12 yards; Kaufman fumbled on the play and linebacker Ryan Phillips recovered, but an inadvertent whistle by referee Dick Hantak negated the turnover. Soon after, a 41-yard Greg Davis field goal gave Oakland a 10-7 lead as the half expired.
