Rams Roll Past Giants 28-6 in Return Home After Australia Trip

Los Angeles rebounded from its sluggish loss in Australia, routing New York behind a big night from Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams.

The Los Angeles Rams defeated the New York Giants 28-6 on Monday night at SoFi Stadium, a sharp reversal from their performance the previous week in Australia. Quarterback Matthew Stafford completed a turnaround of his own, throwing for 320 yards and four touchdowns with one interception after managing 155 yards, no touchdowns and an interception a week earlier.

Stafford connected with receiver Davante Adams for 195 yards and two touchdowns, even with Adams drawing extra defensive attention while Puka Nacua sat out injured. The Rams' ground game also improved, rising from 122 rushing yards the week before to 163.

Defensively, Los Angeles kept the Giants out of the end zone entirely and recorded two sacks plus an interception. The return of Aaron Donald coincided with the stronger defensive showing. Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart left the game with an apparent knee injury after being hit by two pass rushers, and Jameis Winston handled most of the snaps the rest of the way.

The Rams had traveled to Australia on a short schedule, arriving shortly before that game, while their opponent that week, the 49ers, had arrived days earlier. Back in their own time zone, Los Angeles looked like a different team. The Rams visit the Denver Broncos on Sunday night in their next game.
