The New York Giants started the season 0-6 mostly due to being the worst team in the NFL in terms of turnovers. That didn't change on Sunday against the Raiders, with the Giants turning it over on the opening kickoff and finding themselves down 7-0 less than a minute into the game, but New York managed to comeback and beat Oakland, 24-20.

The Giants turned it over three times, but the Raiders couldn’t hold onto their second half lead.
Overall, the Giants turned it over three times, with Eli Manning throwing a pick-six in the third quarter that gave the Raiders a temporary 17-14 lead. Manning rallied the offense for a touchdown before the end of the third quarter, though, and the defense held out from there.
