Rams, Giants looking to build on disparate Week 1 showings when they meet on Monday night
The Los Angeles Rams could not have looked worse, while the New York Giants could not have looked better in their respective season openers. “They understand, they understood going into the game that it was the first game of a 17-game season, no matter what the outcome is going to be, and that the Rams are going to be next up regardless of what the outcome is,” Giants coach John Harbaugh said.…
The Los Angeles Rams and New York Giants faced off in their respective Week 1 matchups with vastly different results. The Rams suffered a 27-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, while the Giants secured a 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Both teams are preparing for their Week 2 matchup on Monday night, with the Giants looking to build on their dominant performance and the Rams aiming to improve from their underwhelming start.
The Rams (0-1) will be addressing various concerns following their loss to the 49ers, such as their lackluster offensive performance and inconsistency. Their coach, Sean McVay, acknowledged the need to string together positive plays both in the run and the pass. Meanwhile, the Giants (1-0) showcased their ability to control the clock and eat up time on the field, a strategy they plan to implement regularly throughout the season.
The game will feature a key matchup between Jaxson Dart of the Giants and the Rams' edge rushers, Byron Young and Josaiah Stewart. Despite the Rams not having Myles Garrett for the next four weeks due to knee surgery, Stewart will be tasked with taking on Young and disrupting Dart's game plan.
