## Resource

The Giants arrive at Week 2 riding high after dominating the Cowboys, while the Rams try to recover from an embarrassing Australia performance against the 49ers. Patricia Traina breaks down New York’s impressive debut under John Harbaugh and how it positions Big Blue for a promising Week 2 clash against the Los Angeles Rams. Meanwhile, Locked On Rams co-host Gavin Carlson examines whether Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and Davante Adams can exploit a Giants secondary that remains vulnerable despite a strong defensive-front performance. The discussion covers Malik Nabers’ pitch count, Isaiah Likely’s matchup with Quentin Lake, the Rams’ soft zone coverage, and New York’s creative “no defensive line” NASCAR package featuring Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns. Can the Rams’ run game keep Stafford away from pressure, or will the Giants move to 2-0?
