EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – After going three years without winning on the road, the Detroit Lions are unbeatable away from the Motor City.

Joey Harrington threw two touchdown passes, and Chris Cash made a diving interception in the end zone late in the first half to lead the Lions to a 28-13 win over the New York Giants on Sunday.

Kevin Jones scored on a 2-yard run and Artose Pinner iced the game with an 8-yard TD run as the Lions (4-2) won their third straight away from home and snapped a four-game winning streak for the Giants (4-2).

The loss also showed that even new coach Tom Coughlin could not change the Giants’ woes after a bye week. New York has lost four straight, 8-of-9 and 13 of 16 since the NFL started giving teams weeks off in 1990.

Harrington, 18 for 22 for 230 yards, threw TD passes of 18 yards to rookie Roy Williams in the first quarter and a 2-yarder to Reggie Swinton late in the fourth for a 21-13 lead

After linebacker Alex Lewis batted away a fourth-down pass to Jeremy Shockey deep in New York territory, Pinner sealed the victory.

Kurt Warner and Tiki Barber combined on a 62-yard screen pass for a touchdown, and Steve Christie kicked field goals of 19 and 25 yards for the Giants, whose offense was horrible near the Detroit end zone.

The Giants, whose winning streak was based on getting turnovers, lost the takeaway battle 2-0, with no play hurting more than Cash’s interception in the final minute of the first half.

Cash, who started at left cornerback for Fernando Bryant, made a diving interception off a lazy pass by Warner with 39 seconds to play in the first half and New York ahead 10-7.

The pick came after Warner completed six passes to move the Giants from their 6-yard line to the Lions 11. Warner avoided a sack on the interception but he lobbed the ball to a wide open Amani Toomer. Cash closed quickly to make the interception.

The Lions took the lead early in the second half on Jones’ first TD run and they never lost it.

Detroit, limited to five first downs and 125 total yards in a loss to Green Bay last week, scored on a 10-play, 70-yard drive on the opening series of the game. Harrington connected on three third-down passes, capping the drive with an 18-yarder to Williams. It was the rookie’s fifth TD catch.

The Giants tied it in the closing seconds of the first quarter when Barber scored on the screen pass. Barber ran into center Shaun O’Hara after catching the ball and then found a big hole, getting an excellent downfield block from rookie receiver Jamaar Taylor.

Christie put New York ahead 10-7 seconds after Ron Dayne was stuffed on a third-and-goal from the Lions 1.

Jones gave the Lions a 14-10 lead on their opening series of the second half. He had runs of 22 and 20 yards before scoring to cap the five-play, 68-yard drive.

Christie got the Giants within a point with his 25-yarder with 8:18 to go. It capped a 14-play, 76 yard drive in which Warner drove New York to the Lions 13. Three plays netted six yards and that led to the field goal.
