Four down territory: Takeaways from Rams first win of season
Aaron Donald’s first game back is biggest takeaway from Monday Night Football
In a 28-6 victory over the New York Giants, the Los Angeles Rams showcased a strong defensive performance led by legendary defensive tackle Aaron Donald. Donald, fresh off his two-year retirement, made an impressive return to the field and clearly made an impact on the game. The Rams' defense was at its best since their game against the Buccaneers last year, with standout performances from Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske.
When it comes to their running backs, the Rams have a clear choice going forward. Blake Corum exhibited more explosiveness on the field, outpacing Kyren Williams in yardage, while still committing both fumbles. Given the fact that Kyren lost his fumble, it's clear that Blake Corum would provide more value to the team's offense. Davante Adams, who had been missing due to Puka Nacua's injury, delivered a standout performance, catching eight passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns.
With Puka Nacua expected to return soon, Rams fans can be confident in their passing game's future. Lastly, Matthew Stafford had a strong game, throwing four touchdowns and proving that he's ready to take on the spotlight in the upcoming seven primetime games.
