Half-Time Report: Tracy Porter hands Oakland Raiders advantage

By Simon Sinclair, Reporter | 10 November 2013

A late interception returned for a touchdown by Tracy Porter hands the Oakland Raiders the lead at the break in their NFL clash with the New York Giants.

The Oakland Raiders lead the New York Giants by three points in their NFL clash at MetLife Stadium.

The Giants has the worst possible start to the game as Jernell Jernigan fumbled the ball on the kickoff and the Raiders recovered, giving themselves possession inside the five-yard line. Quarterback Terrelle Pryor ran in for the score to give his side the lead.

Tom Coughlin's team responded when Raiders' Marquette King's punt was blocked by Damontre Moore and Cooper Taylor picked up the loose ball and ran it in for a 21-yard touchdown.

The Raiders regained the advantage through the boot of Sebastian Janikowski with a 33-yard effort, but New York took the lead in the game when Eli Manning drove his side downfield and lofted a pass into the end zone that was brought in by Rueben Randle for a five-yard touchdown.

However, there was to be another lead change before the end of the half as Manning threw an interception right into the hands of Tracy Porter and he ran the ball back to the end zone for the 43-yard score.
