Giants game, tweets, highlights, vids, articles

#Rams were done last week and had more people jumping off ship than you could possible imagine.

#Giants were bullies last week and ready to take a big leap to challenge in the East.

Now what …

Mina Kimes@minakimes
Davante Adams in a flow state where every target feels like a sure thing. Fade. Corner. Back shoulder. All automatic.

Mike Clay@MikeClayNFL
Davante Adams with Puka Nacua out:
8 rec, 195 yds, 2 TDs

Rams Bros.@RamsBrothers
Aaron Donald’s night is likely done. Don’t care about any of the stats or the PFF grades. Looked like the same dominant player to me, putting offensive lineman on skates, effecting the run game and generating pressure.

Perfect warm up game. 1-0 with 99 on the field.

HoldenCantor@HoldenCantor
McDuffie is the truth

Sosa Kremenjas@QBsMVP
Trent McDuffie in Week 2, per @SumerSports:
5 targets
0 receptions allowed
0 yards allowed
1 INT
4 PBUs

Nate Atkins@NateAtkins_
The non-Davante Adams pass catchers on the Rams tonight:

16 targets
9 catches
90 yards
1 TD
5.6 yards per target

The Rams are still searching for that third receiving option. Obviously, it helps that the top two are as good as they are.

Absolutely elite

How nice is it to have Davante Adams in man coverage & just say, “I’m throwing the advantage instead of handing it off”

One of the best route runners in the NFL. Sometimes it really is that simple. pic.twitter.com/J9iJHQV438

Intentional route running + no indicators = separation.

Davante Adams just understands leverage and route pacing at an elite level.

Young WR’s pay attention. You don’t need to make an extraordinary move to get open. Subtle manipulation works.☝🏾 pic.twitter.com/DXXjnCkiuj

Well, the Rams are fine after all. Sure the Giants lost Jaxson Dart early on, but LA didn’t want to hear injury excuses as it was without Myles Garrett and Puka Nacua. Imagine how good the Rams will look when they return.

Brett Kollmann@BrettKollmann
Per @NextGenStats the Rams had a pressure rate of 58.6% tonight.

The Giants, after all of their investment in the Edge group over the years, somehow ended up at 15.2%

Sarah Barshop@sarahbarshop
The Rams had a 66.7% Pass Rush Win Rate on Monday, according to ESPN Analytics/NFL NGS.

That is their highest rate in any game since Week 11 of the 2022 season. In Aaron Donald’s first game back, the Rams had a Pass Rush Win Rate higher than any game since he last played.

Next Gen Stats@NextGenStats
Trent McDuffie held Malik Nabers without a catch on three targets across 21 coverage matchups, which included a second-quarter interception.

McDuffie spent 32.8 seconds in tight coverage throughout the game, second-longest in a game in his career.

Sosa Kremenjas@QBsMVP
Rams defense this week, per @SumerSports:
-0.44 EPA/play (2nd-best)
44.1% man coverage
55.9% zone coverage

A LOT more balanced this week than the Week 1 gameplan. Looked a lot more like what we expected with the new CBs and personnel under Chris Shula.

Greg Beacham@gregbeacham
Wesley Bailey makes his first NFL sack. The undrafted free agent rookie Canadian is getting real defensive snaps, and he continues to make plays.

Tom Byrne@1TomByrne
Matthew Stafford is 38 years old and just casually carving up an NFL defense for 320 yards and 4 TDs.

We’ve gotten way too comfortable with how absurd this era of old quarterbacks is.

PFF@PFF
Most 4+ Pass TD games since 2021

Matthew Stafford 10
Dak Prescott 10
Joe Burrow 9
Lamar Jackson 9

PFF@PFF
Most games with 100+ receiving yards & 1+ receiving TD since 2020

Davante Adams 28
A.J. Brown 20
Tyreek Hill 19

Jourdan Rodrigue @jourdanrodrigue.bsky.social
This Davante Adams reel is going to be a favorite for people to study for a long long time after this game. Big plays, body control, all of the tiny details too. My goodness.

J.B. Long@JB_Long
With tonight’s MNF victory, Sean McVay passes Bill Walsh for sole possession of 50th on the list of regular season wins … his 93rd.

Also passes Walsh for combined wins – regular and postseason – with his 103rd.

Look at the pressure Young had on Jameis. Pressures can be just as effective as sacks. Pressure forced that turnover pic.twitter.com/22puiRv4s7

from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/rams/2026/09/21/rams-giants-best-worst-players-week-2-davante-adams/91883205007/?taid=6ab2277914be170001b91924&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

Stud: Trent McDuffie

How good has McDuffie been thus far? He’s been worth every penny (and pick) the Rams paid to get him, looking his best on Monday against New York. He had four total passes defensed, including his first interception as a member of the Rams. He was sticky in coverage, physical as a tackler and has looked every bit like the All-Pro the Rams thought he’d be in L.A.

Stud: Quentin Lake

Lake was peppered with targets in Week 1 and held up fairly well in coverage, despite giving up some completions. The Giants went after him early, too, but Lake responded with some excellent plays. He drove on the ball and nearly came away with an interception in the first quarter, broke up a pass intended for Isaiah Likely over the middle and also forced a fumble on Cam Skattebo that went out of bounds. He finished second on the team with six tackles, three passes defensed and the forced fumble.

Stud: Byron Young

Without Myles Garrett, Young had to step up as the Rams’ top edge rusher. And he delivered with a terrific performance. He had five tackles, including a sack, along with three quarterback hits and a tackle for a loss. He was constantly around the quarterback throughout the night, whether it was Jaxson Dart or Jameis Winston. And his speed was on full display when he chased down Jameis from behind for the sack.

Oddly, according to Nick Wright, the Rams are still favorites to win the super bowl — but both the 49ers and Seahawks are slightly favored over the rams to win the division.

That’s a conceivable scenario. In fact in 2021 the Rams were a wildcard team.

It’s conceivable because as things now stand, they have key injured players who will be coming back, and depth players (Stewart, Bailey, Ferguson) who could develop. They could be much stronger by the end of the year.
