Summary
Los Angeles rolled past New York 28-6 in Week 2, with Adams torching the Giants for eight catches, 195 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' home opener.
New York's night unraveled on its first offensive drive when quarterback Jaxson Dart injured his knee; Jameis Winston replaced him and finished 11 of 27 for 111 yards with an interception.
Injuries and absences compounded the Giants' problems: top cornerbacks Deonte Banks and Paulson Adebo were out, Malik Nabers was held to one catch for 1 yard, and Andrew Thomas and Brian Burns also left hurt.
The Rams controlled the game beyond Adams, getting 164 rushing yards from Kyren Williams and Blake Corum, while Aaron Donald returned from retirement with three tackles and Trent McDuffie broke up four passes.
The result sharpened two early-season storylines: Los Angeles looked far stronger than in its Australia opener, while the Giants now face a short-term quarterback question pending Dart's MRI.
