Rams, Giants 6

Aaron Donald’s return sparked a dominant victory as the Rams improved to 2-0 after their Week 1 loss. The 22-point rout at SoFi Stadium was led by a productive Rams offense and a defense that held New York to 6 points, while the crowd’s enthusiastic response to Donald helped set the tone.

Rams Offense

Matthew Stafford moved to sixth on the NFL’s career touchdown list after throwing for 2 touchdowns against the Giants. He passed Philip Rivers in the ranking, extending his all-time passing-touchdown total and reinforcing his role as the league’s most productive veteran quarterbacks.

Giants Injuries

Jaxson Dart is believed to have sprained his MCL, though further tests are still to come. The injury compounded New York’s struggles in the 28-6 loss, and the Giants will seek additional medical evaluations before confirming the severity of Dart’s condition.

NFC Standings Watch

Caleb Williams remains week-to-week with a right hamstring injury, but the Bears have not ruled him out for Monday night’s game. Meanwhile, Jayden Daniels has no established timeline, leaving the Commanders to prepare Jacoby Brissett for Sunday against the Seahawks.

Falcons and Colts Updates

Michael Penix Jr. will make his season debut on Thursday night against the Packers, while the Colts expect Alec Pierce to miss several weeks after a heel injury. Atlanta’s decision to start Penix adds urgency to its early-season schedule, and Indianapolis plans to add Pierce back for wide receiver depth.
