New York Giants vs. Los Angeles Rams: 6 things to know about Week 2

The New York Giants will take on the Los Angeles Rams in an upcoming Monday Night Football matchup, marking the first time since 1970 that three teams will each play their first two games in primetime in the same season. The Giants, who opened their season on Sunday Night Football, defeated the Dallas Cowboys 28-20 in their Week 1 opener, never playing from behind.

In contrast, the Rams suffered a 27-7 loss to division rival San Francisco in a one-sided game in Melbourne, Australia. The Giants' quarterback Jaxson Dart has proven himself by becoming the first player ever with at least three touchdown passes, a passer rating of 130 or higher, and 50 or more rushing yards in a season-opening game.

The Rams, however, will be missing key players such as defensive end Myles Garrett, who underwent knee surgery and will be on short-term injured reserve for four weeks, and defensive tackle Aaron Donald, whose return is also uncertain. On the offensive side, the Rams' receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams have been dominant, with Nacua leading the team in receptions and yards this season.

The Rams and Giants have faced each other 46 times since 1938, with the Rams leading the all-time series 29-16. The Giants' recent victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17 of the 2023 season highlighted the competitive nature of this matchup.
