Sixteen points, covering a safety and two TD passes by Fran Tarkenton within a span of a minute and one-half, enabled the Giants to defeat the Jets in the long-awaited New York neighborhood rivalry before the largest sports crowd in Shea Stadium history. Ron Johnson's 69 yards on 25 carries lent authority to the Giants' passing game. Don Maynard caught three passes from Al Woodall to pass Lionel Taylor for second place among lifetime receivers, 570 to Taylor's 567.
