RAMS 38 - GIANTS 11
It was a contrast of two different franchises in two completely different directions.
The New York Giants (1-5) were totally outclassed by the Los Angeles Rams (5-1), who rolled over the Giants 38-11 in a game that was over by the half.
Daniel Jones, who made his return to Big Blue after suffering a concussion last week in Dallas was putrid, tossing three interceptions, and getting sacked four times. Jones was even stripped twice, losing one fumble.
For an organization that honored the 2011 Giants' team that won the Super Bowl that year against New England, Sunday's smackdown at the hands of the Rams was a harsh reminder of how far the Giants have fallen.
With the defeat, Big Blue is a league worst 19-51 since 2017. The only reason they are alone in that category is because the Jets had a bye week.
On the flip side, the Rams looked like a juggernaut. Matthew Stafford was pinpoint accurate, completing 22 of 29 passes for 251 yards and four touchdowns. Three of those four scores came in the second quarter, including a 25-yard bomb to Darrell Henderson Jr. that made it 28-3.
Things were so bad for Big Blue that fans were leaving in droves at the half.
One has to wonder how much worse it could get for the Giants. Change is definitely on the horizon again for this franchise. Fans have been calling for the job of David Gettleman for years; another abysmal season, and Gettlman could be joined by head coach Joe Judge on the proverbial hot seat. It doesn't help matters that the Giants put up two stinkers while honoring its past. Three ago they blew a game to Atlanta on the day Eli Manning had his number retired.
