Wayne Gallman scored a touchdown and rushed for a career-high 94 yards, Graham Gano kicked four field goals and the visiting New York Giants beat the Cincinnati Bengals 19-17 Sunday afternoon to move into first place in the NFC East.

The Giants won their third straight game but also lost quarterback Daniel Jones to a hamstring injury in the third quarter. Jones was injured after getting tackled on a scramble with 10:45 remaining in the quarter, tried to play through it and was replaced by Colt McCoy after two plays on New York’s next series.

Gallman scored his sixth rushing touchdown since Week 7 on New York’s first series when he plunged in from 1 yard out. Jones completed 16-of-27 passes for 213 yards and produced a turnover-free performance before exiting. McCoy completed 6-of-10 passes for 31 yards. The Bengals lost their third straight and mustered only 155 yards of offense. Cincinnati’s first touchdown came on Brandon Wilson’s 103-yard kickoff return with 9:50 left in the first quarter and it was the longest play in team history.
