For Second Straight Game, Giants Are Kept Out of the End Zone

After a dominant opening drive, Los Angeles struggled to get free from the Giants (0-4) until the speedy Kupp caught a pass behind the Giants’ linebackers and sprinted through the secondary, scoring the Rams’ first touchdown since their opening drive with six minutes and 56 seconds left. That was the only touchdown pass for Goff, who went 25 of 32 for 200 yards.

Daniel Jones passed for 190 yards and rushed for 45 for the Giants, who haven’t scored a touchdown in their last two games. They had two chances with the ball after Kupp’s touchdown, but the Giants turned it over on downs before Jones drove them deep into Rams territory.

Williams was whistled for a debatable pass interference penalty on fourth down in the final minute of the Rams’ 35-32 loss at Buffalo last week. This week, he came up with a big interception on a pass by Jones intended for Damion Ratley, diving to get both hands on the ball just above the turf.

The Giants’ defense gave an admirable effort against the N.F.L.’s third-ranked offense entering Week 4, but its offense stalled three times in the red zone before its late misadventures. Graham Gano kicked three field goals.
