Game Notes:
"The Rams defense has been hard to score on and they're very proud of that. Odell Beckham Jr. ruined their whole day right from the start in the first quarter. Rookie running back Orleans Darkwa joined in, and then Rueben Randle and Beckham once again, scoring a total of four touchdowns against a defense that hadn't allowed any in the last three games.
The traveling Giants were the underdogs, but they didn't play that way at all. The Giants took the lead from the start and had it for the whole game. The Rams seemed to get their thrills by targeting Beckham, but they were never able to stop him or Rueben Randle. I'd say Beckham got the last laugh with his 148 yards and two touchdowns.
It was great to see the team play this way so late at the end of a season and you have to give credit to Tom Coughlin and his coaching staff, getting the group of young players and rookies to do so well. The Eagles are up next and it would be a really nice way to wrap up the season with a win over a division team so many thought was the best of our group just a few weeks ago."

Game Notes:
"The Giants won and both teams certainly gave it their all. It was maybe too much 'all' as to how their head coaches might see things. The Rams certainly were out of line in the way they went after Odell Beckham Jr. Later head coach Jeff Fisher acknowledged that some of his players were displeased with Beckham and some of the things he said about breaking records against his defense.
Beckham did so and later pushing and shoving led to fights. The bottom line though is that the Giants won this game. Does it really matter at this point in the season when both teams are going nowhere? Sure it does. Neither team can grab back those losses they maybe could have won, but both played hard and wanted to make a statement as to what might have been if only they had done better all along the way.
It was the Rams final home game, fan appreciation day, and emotions ran high as their 'dream' of possibly finishing .500 for the first time since 2006 went out the window with this loss to the Giants. The Rams now end up with yet another losing season and can be no better than 7-9, matching their record the past two seasons. To even achieve that would require a win next week in Seattle, which is unlikely to happen.
The Giants were hardly calm spirits in a game where they had two players ejected. They did however stay disciplined and focused enough for Eli Manning to throw for almost 400 yards (391), had a 100-yard rusher (Andre Williams), and two 100-yard receivers (Beckham and Rueben Randle), who both pulled in at least one touchdown.
Next Sunday the Giants will face the Eagles at MetLife Stadium. Once again there are no playoff hopes for either team. The Giants have been living with that reality for awhile now and the Eagles just today, after losing to the Redskins on Saturday, and then seeing the Dallas Cowboys destroy the Indianapolis Colts. Still, expect to see the best from these NFC East teams in the final game of the season."
