EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A couple of comeback kids helped the New York Giants continue their winning streak. Terrell Thomas returned an interception 65 yards to set up a go-ahead 1-yard touchdown run by Andre Brown, and the New York Giants won their third straight game, 24-20 Sunday over Oakland. It was appropriate that Thomas and Brown combined to maintain the Giants hopes of overcoming an 0-6 start. Thomas missed the past two seasons with major knee injuries. Brown missed the first eight games this season after breaking his left leg in the last preseason game for the second time in nine months. "When I scored off his interception return, I went back over there and I said: Good job" said Brown, who ran for 115 yards on 30 carries. "Hes another guy that showed perseverance. He knows how to deal with adversity. Guys like that, you feed off of. I want to make sure Im a guy that they can feed off me." The error-prone Giants (3-6) did. They also fed off their defence, which limited a banged up Terrelle Pryor and the Raiders to 213 yards in total offence. Even more importantly they forced Oakland (3-6) to settle for a field goal on the opening possession of the second half after getting a first-and-goal at the 1. Instead of a 24-14 lead, the margin was 20-14. "That was huge," middle linebacker Jon Beason said. "Anytime you can go out there with your backs against the wall, its a good thing." Thomas interception was even bigger, and it turned the momentum a final time. After a three-and-out by New York, Oakland got the ball back at the New York 48 following a 27-yard punt by Steve Weatherford into a stiff breeze. On a third-and-9 from the 33, Pryor tried to hit Denarius Moore on a slant. Thomas, who was the NFC defensive player of the week two weeks ago, was waiting in the slant route. "It was a route they have run a lot and I was waiting on it the whole game," Thomas said. "They run two-by-two slants and coach put us in a great position and I was happy to make a play for the defence." Thomas ran toward the gaping end zone, avoiding a tackle by Pryor inside the 20 before being tackled by Andre Holmes. The ball came loose, and officials said Thomas was down. Brown gave the Giants the lead from the 1-yard line following a pass interference call, taking time to kneel in the end zone and stretch his hands to the sky. "Its great to have Dre back," Thomas said. "To run for 100 yards after sitting out and missing eight games and to come back in the fashion he did, and run like he did, its very refreshing for our team. It was great to see him return to his old self. I wish I would have scored but it was great to see him get in." Despite throwing another pick-6, Eli Manning threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Rueben Randle, and Cooper Taylor scored on a 21-yard return with a blocked punt. Josh Brown added a field goal. Pryor scored on a 1-yard run and Tracy Porter on a 43-yard interception return for Oakland. Sebastian Janikowski kicked two field goals. "We just to go back to work and stick with each other," said Pryor, who was 11 of 26 for 122 yards playing with a sore hamstring. "A lot of fingers can be pointed at me. Thats all right, I understand that. The next time we get in this situation we have to know how to react." Coming off a 49-20 loss to the Eagles, the Raiders were in a position to win this game. Porters interception return put them ahead 17-14 at the half and Janikowskis 24-yard field goal that capped an eight-minute drive stretched the lead to 20-14. But Thomas and Brown stepped in to save New York. Josh Brown added a 23-yard field goal in the fourth quarter and New York clinched the game when Mathias Kiwanuka had a sack-forced fumble on Oaklands final possession. Pryor scored from 1 yard on the second play from scrimmage after a fumble by Jerrel Jernigan on the opening kickoff. New York, which had given up special teams touchdowns in the two previous games got one back. Damontre Moore blocked Marquette Kings punt and Taylor scored. Oakland took a 10-7 lead on a 33-yard field goal by Janikowski. A fumble by running back Peyton Hillis on a short pass set up the score. Manning got the Giants going in the second quarter with a TD pass to Randle. However, Mannings third pick-6 of the season allowed Porter to skip into the end zone. NOTES: The previous time the Giants returned a blocked punt for a TD was by Tom Flynn in 1988. ...Weatherford had a miserable day, averaging 30.4 yards on four punts. Linebacker Sio Moore had nine tackles and a sack to lead Oakland. Safety Antrel Rolle had a game-high 12 tackles and a sack, one of four by New York. Lance Dunbar Womens Jersey .

DETROIT -- Tigers manager Jim Leyland had nothing to say about Monday nights most memorable scene. He was happy to talk about Detroits 4-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. With Leyland in the clubhouse after being ejected for an argument that lasted several minutes and included three of the four umpires, Jhonny Peralta hit a tiebreaking triple in the eighth inning and the Tigers held on to win. "Dont ask me about the play, whatever you do," Leyland said at the start of his post-game remarks after initially saying he wouldnt speak to reporters. Leyland was angry after first base umpire Ed Rapuano changed a call at first base, calling Detroits Andy Dirks out after conferring with plate umpire Alfonso Marquez. During his lengthy tirade, in which he also argued with crew chief Brian ONora, Leyland mockingly imitated Rapuano changing his call. "Hes got some experience at that, and it was fun to watch," Dirks said. "At the same time, weve got to stay focused on the game." Max Scherzer struck out nine over seven strong innings and the AL Central leaders won their third straight, snapping Torontos three-game winning streak. Victor Martinez drove in two runs for the Tigers. In the makeup of a May 17 rainout, the game was tied 2-2 when Leyland was ejected in the seventh. Detroit scored twice in the next inning to win it. "That was a good win in a tough game," Leyland said. "Were playing a lot of games in a short stretch, and Im proud of these guys." Adam Lind hit his 16th homer for the Blue Jays. With one out in the eighth, Magglio Ordonez singled off Marc Rzepczynski (2-2). Austin Jackson entered as a pinch-runner, and Shawn Camp came in to relieve Rzepczynski. Peralta sliced a liner into the right-centre gap and Jose Bautista missed an attempt at a sliding catch. The ball rolled to the wall before centre-fielder Rajai Davis could retrieve it, giving Peralta a standup triple.dddddddddddd "Jose was in position and he was going to make the catch," Toronto manager John Farrell said. "The ball just passed through the lights at the last second and he lost it." Jackson, who had stolen second, scored easily once the ball got past Bautista. "We know that everyone in this lineup has the chance to get us that big hit," Jackson said. "Weve got strong hitters at one through nine." After the Blue Jays intentionally walked Alex Avila, Ryan Raburn beat out a double-play ball to drive in the fourth run. Joaquin Benoit (2-3) picked up the win with a scoreless inning. Jose Valverde pitched the ninth for his 18th save in as many attempts. Toronto put two on against Valverde, but pinch-hitter Juan Rivera hit into a game-ending double play. Neither starter was involved in the decision. Scherzer allowed two runs in seven innings, while Torontos Zach Stewart gave up two runs in six innings. Detroit went ahead with single runs in the second and third before Toronto tied it with a pair in the fourth. In the second, Martinez doubled to drive in Miguel Cabrera. In the next inning, Martinezs single brought home Brennan Boesch. Blue Jays rookie Eric Thames led off the fourth with a double, went to third on Scherzers wild pitch and scored on Bautistas groundout. Lind followed with a home run to make it 2-2. NOTES: The Blue Jays used an unusual defensive shift against Martinez in the sixth. Instead of shifting all the infielders to the right, Farrell left shortstop Yunel Escobar in his normal position and placed third baseman Jayson Nix to the right of second base. The move worked, as Martinez grounded to Nix for a 5-3 putout. ... Bautista took grounders at third base and is expected to start there Tuesday against Pittsburgh. ... Valverde extended his shutout streak to 11 1-3 innings over 12 games. cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
