In the final game of Week 2, the Los Angeles Rams host the New York Giants on "Monday Night Football." The Rams were embarrassed in their season opener by the division rival San Francisco 49ers, falling 27-7 in Australia. The Rams, who led the NFL in both yards and points last season, managed just 290 yards of total offense against San Francisco and turned the ball over twice. Meanwhile, the defense allowed 5.9 yards per play and was repeatedly gashed on the ground.
Worse yet, the Rams saw Myles Garrett head to injured reserve after he ended up having knee surgery. L.A. gets Aaron Donald back on Monday night, but the so-called super team looks like anything but so far. And it may not have Puka Nacua on Monday night, either.
The Giants, meanwhile, got off to just about as good a start to the John Harbaugh era as one could imagine. New York did whatever it wanted offensively against the division rival Dallas Cowboys in Week 1, controlling both the ball and the clock all evening as it ground Dallas into dust. Jaxson Dart had arguably the single-best game of his career, Cam Skattebo rumbled through the defense all night, Malik Nabers made it through his return game unscathed and emerged with six receptions and Isaiah Likely lit up the second level of the Dallas defense for a pair of touchdowns.
Will the Rams bounce back, or will the Giants move to 2-0? We'll find out soon enough. Before we break down some key matchups on each side of the ball, here's a look at how you can watch the game.
The Giants did whatever they wanted against the Cowboys on "Sunday Night Football" last weekend. New York ran the ball 37 times for 165 yards and a touchdown. Jaxson Dart completed 23 of 29 passes for 230 yards and three scores.
The Giants controlled the ball for 36 minutes and 40 seconds of the 60-minute game. They had three second-half drives; they scored a touchdown on each of the first two and ran the clock out on the third. All three drives lasted 12-plus plays.
