The Los Angeles Rams defeated the New York Giants 28-6 on Monday Night Football, with Matthew Stafford throwing four touchdown passes in the blowout win. Two of those scoring passes went to Davante Adams, who finished with 195 receiving yards.
The game was defined by New York's offensive troubles and injuries. Most outlets highlighted that Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart departed early in the contest, leaving the team without its primary option at the position. Yahoo Sports reported that injuries were as much a story as the final score, with one outlet noting that Jameis Winston's performance was particularly poor for New York after Dart went down.
For Los Angeles, the win represented more than just a lopsided victory. Yahoo Sports reported that the game marked Aaron Donald's return, with one outlet describing it as the defensive star's "much-anticipated return" that helped the Rams "rediscover their swagger." However, another Yahoo Sports outlet noted that while the Rams' victory was dominant, the team still displayed sloppiness underneath the surface.
