Game Recap: Rams stay undefeated on road with 38-11 victory over Giants

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – A complementary effort in all three phases paved the way for a 38-11 Rams victory over the New York Giants (1-5) on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Three of the four takeaways created by the Rams defense – a sack-fumble by outside linebacker Ogbo Okoronkwo and an interception by safety Taylor Rapp – directly led to 21 of their 38 points. The Rams scored 28 of their 38 points and secured three of their four takeaways by halftime.

Rapp finished with two interceptions overall, snagging another late in the third quarter that led to a 13-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Matthew Stafford to wide receiver Cooper Kupp. Rookie Robert Rochell also notched the first interception of his NFL career.

Kupp caught his 30th and 31st career touchdowns, surpassing Rams legend Isaac Bruce's 29 for most such scores through a player's first 60 games in franchise history. Kupp finished with a team-high nine receptions for 130 yards overall in addition to the pair of touchdowns.

Running back Darrell Henderson Jr. tallied 107 yards from scrimmage and two total touchdowns in the win, while quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 22 of 28 passes for 251 yards and four touchdowns with one interception.

Additionally, all four of punter Johnny Hekker's punts landed inside the 20, while Matt Gay made his lone field goal attempt and all five of his extra point attempts.

The Giants got on the board first with a 27-yard field goal by kicker Graham Gano for a 3-0 lead with 9:21 left in the first quarter.

Twice the Rams got into Giants territory on each of their first two drives, but each time they were forced to punt. The second punt attempt was initially a successful conversion on a 15-yard pass from punter Johnny Hekker to wide receiver Ben Skowronek, but offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties negated the play and forced the Rams to punt anyway.

Nonetheless, the Rams broke through on their third possession with a 15-yard touchdown pass from Stafford to wide receiver Robert Woods to take a 7-3 lead early in the second quarter. The scoring drive was set up by a 28-yard completion from Stafford to Kupp.
