Rams crush Giants 28-6: Stafford shines with four touchdown passes, Adams turns SoFi into his own stage

Matthew Stafford threw for 327 yards and four touchdowns as the Los Angeles Rams bounced back from their season-opening loss with a dominant 28-6 victory over the New York Giants on Monday Night Football at SoFi Stadium. Davante Adams caught eight passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns, stepping up in the absence of Puka Nacua. He scored on receptions of 31 and 11 yards and also broke loose for a 64-yard connection that highlighted his impact. Stafford completed 22 of 31 passes with one interception. Kyren Williams and Terrance Ferguson also caught touchdown passes. The Giants lost quarterback Jaxson Dart to a left knee injury on their opening possession. Jameis Winston took over but could not spark a comeback. The win snapped the Rams' five-game losing streak on Monday Night Football. Their last victory in that slot came in 2026 against the Arizona Cardinals, 30-23. The Giants have now lost five consecutive games to the Rams. Los Angeles will visit the Denver Broncos on Sunday, September 27, 2026. The Giants will host the Tennessee Titans that same day. For the Rams, this was more than a simple win. It was a statement about their offensive identity, Stafford's leadership, and Adams' ability to be the focal point of the attack. For the Giants, the injury to Dart and the defensive breakdowns raise serious questions about their short-term direction.
