The New York Giants, 1-0 after beating the Cowboys, head to Los Angeles for Monday Night Football to face a Rams team eager to rebound behind a Fangio-adjacent defense led by Chris Shula and potentially still-paced by Aaron Donald. The Rams’ scheme and personnel—plus new outside playmakers—will test a Giants offense that was efficient if not explosive in Week 1, while ball security remains a concern after some costly fumbles.

Five Bills Takeaways That Shape a Lions Week 2 Preview

After watching Buffalo’s Week 1 win over the Texans, the piece highlights five takeaways for the Lions: Buffalo’s run defense appears improved under Jim Leonhard; Jared Goff could have time in the pocket if the Bills’ pass rush stays quiet; Josh Allen and OC-turned-coach Joe Brady are aggressively pushy, which can pay off but also invite mistakes; Dalton Kincaid emerges as a major tight-end mismatch; and the Bills’ penalties are a concern even as their coverage remains sticky. Overall, Detroit could exploit the Bills’ run defense and matchup trouble with Kincaid, while watching for the risks of aggressive play and penalties.
