Newcastle piled on 24 unanswered points to heap more misery on Canberra, the Knights coming from behind to beat the Raiders in their Wagga Wagga NRL clash.
In a much-needed return to the winner's circle, the Knights snatched a 24-16 win at McDonalds Park in the Riverina, in front of 6,642 fans.
Down by 16-nil at halftime, the Knights came out firing and scored four tries while the deflated Raiders once again failed to score in the second half.
The Green Machine have now slumped to five straight losses in the same season, a run unseen by the club since 2014.
Newcastle fullback Kalyn Ponga starred for the Knights with a try and four goals while star hooker Jayden Brailey was the hero of the match, consolidating the result with an impressive try in the 77th minute.
It was the first time in 29 matches where the Knights trailed at halftime and came back to win.
Young Knights halfback Phoenix Crossland scored just after the break and ignited their impressive comeback - while Ponga made a successful conversion taking the score to 16-6.
A 59th minute minute converted try by Ponga put them right back in the contest, second-rower Tyson Frizell's 67th minute solo effort helping his side get to an 18-16 advantage.
"We simplified (our game); we worked hard on the simple things," Ponga said following a 38-4 touch-up by the Roosters last week.
"The boys were good today - we were just happy to see some effort compared to last week."
It was a demoralising loss for the Raiders who had all the momentum and firepower in the first half.
Halfback George Williams starred for the Green Machine while forward Joseph Tapine, who injured his knee in the second half and Josh Papalii were strong early.
Caleb Aekins, Tapine and Bailey Simonsson all had first-half tries but again the Raiders fell apart when it mattered most.
Canberra lock Ryan Sutton was taken off the ground mid-way through the first half after hyper-extending his elbow.
He did not return for the rest of the match.
