Rams vs. Giants Preview: Near Must-Win Monday Night

Erin Coscarelli and Rob Havenstein dig into the Rams' uncharacteristic 27-7 Week 1 loss to the 49ers in Melbourne, debating whether Sean McVay's short-turnaround travel plan actually backfired. They break down a shaky game from Matthew Stafford and a defense under new coordinator Chris Shula that couldn't slow down Brock Purdy, then dive into the news that reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett will miss at least four games after knee surgery. Havenstein, drawing on his own knee-surgery history, breaks down what type of arthroscopic procedure Garrett might be getting and what it could mean for his path back. The two turn more optimistic on Aaron Donald's chances of returning as soon as Week 2, and preview a home Monday Night Football opener they call a near must-win against a red-hot Jaxson Dart and the Giants. They close by flagging the Giants' pass-rush trio of Abdul Carter, Brian Burns, and Kayvon Thibodeaux as the matchup to watch in the trenches.
