Monday night in Los Angeles showed how fast an NFL week can turn.
The New York Giants walked into SoFi Stadium still carrying the physical edge and complementary look that beat Dallas. They left with a 28-6 loss, several key players hurt, and a very different feel around the organization.
Jaxson Dart was gone after seven snaps with a knee injury. Malik Nabers popped a shoulder back into place and stayed in. Andrew Thomas and Brian Burns did not finish. Jameis Winston never found a rhythm. The Rams piled up 481 yards. The Giants managed 182.
Pro Football Focus has now graded the tape. The numbers will not change the scoreboard, but they will show who won their snaps on a night when health, vibe, and results all shifted at once.
