The Rams are playing without wide receiver Puka Nacua and pass rusher Myles Garrett. They haven’t missed them so far tonight, with the Giants having lost quarterback Jaxson Dart on the first possession.
Stafford has thrown for 184 yards and two touchdowns, with Davante Adams catching five for 145 and a touchdown.
The Rams lead 14-3.
Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald has three tackles, including one for loss, in his first game action in 981 days. Donald retired after the 2023 season but officially unretired Aug. 30.
Adams, 31, has not had a better game since Dec. 15, 2024, against the Jaguars when he caught nine passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns.
Stafford has completed 11 of 15 passes and has thrown a pick. His touchdowns covered 31 yards to Adams and 10 yards to running back Kyren Williams.
The Rams should have had three more points to end the half, but kicker Harrison Mevis missed a 43-yard try wide left on the final play of the half.
Giants safety Jevon Holland has done everything he can to keep his team in it. Holland, who had an interception of Dak Prescott last week, has an interception, a forced fumble and a recovered fumble.
At the end of a 5-yard Kyren Williams run late in the first half, Holland punched the ball out and recovered it at the Los Angeles 11. It was Williams’ eighth career fumble.
The Giants had six possessions in the first half and four times crossed midfield with drives to the Los Angeles 43, 43, 18 and 3 without a touchdown. After Holland’s fumble recovery, the Giants settled for Dominic Zvada’s chip-shot, 24-yard field goal with 25 seconds left in the half.
Dart went 3-of-5 for 20 yards before injuring his left knee. Jameis Winston replaced him and was 4-of-12 for 58 yards and an interception, a throw straight to Rams cornerback Trent McDuffie in the end zone.
Cam Skattebo has only 18 yards on seven carries.
