The New York Giants fell to the Los Angeles Rams 28-6 on September 21, 2026, impacting their standing in NFL Week 3 power rankings. The loss, marked by the early departure of quarterback Jaxson Dart due to a knee injury, left the team's offense struggling. Backup Jameis Winston, who faced accuracy issues, could not compensate for Dart's absence. Despite showing promise in Week 1 against the Cowboys, the Giants' performance against the Rams raised concerns about their season. Initial exams suggest Dart may have a sprained MCL, potentially sidelining him for an extended period.
