EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Dec. 17 (UPI) -- Tiki Barber set a New York Giants single-game record with 220 rushing yards and scored twice in a 27-17 win over Kansas City Saturday night.
Barber broke the franchise's 55-year-old mark set by Gene Roberts against the Chicago Cardinals in 1950 and nearly single-handedly carried the Giants (10-4) to their third consecutive win and one step closer to a possible NFC East title.
New York holds a 1 1/2 game lead over Dallas, which will play at rival Washington Sunday, with two games left in the regular season.
Eli Manning went 17-of-32 for 186 yards, with one interception and a 31-yard touchdown pass to Amani Toomer.
Larry Johnson ran for 167 yards -- his seventh straight 100-yard game -- and a pair of scores for Kansas City (8-6), which entered Week 15 tied with Pittsburgh and San Diego in the battle for the AFC's final wild-card spot.
