In an intense matchup at MetLife Stadium, the Los Angeles Rams demonstrated resilience and strategic execution to clinch a win over the New York Giants.

Defensively, Los Angeles showed dominance as well by recording six sacks for a loss of 35 yards and nine tackles for loss totaling another negative yardage of -33 for New York's offense. The defense also managed four passes defended and forced two turnovers including one interception that halted potential scoring drives from their opponents.


Special teams played their part too; although there were no field goal attempts made or missed during this game by Los Angeles, they executed five kickoffs resulting in touchbacks each time — ensuring that New York started drives from deep within their own territory.
