The New York Giants faced off against the Rams in Los Angeles with backup quarterback Jameis Winston taking over for an injured Jaxson Dart. With the ball inside the Rams’ 10-yard line and a strong rushing attack needed, the Giants chose not to use running back Cam Skattebo in crucial short-yardage situations, opting for Najee Harris instead. This decision backfired as Harris was stuffed at the line, forcing a field goal. The Giants struggled to maximize scoring opportunities despite a competitive defense forcing turnovers.
