Game Notes:
"The way the schedule has worked out, it's been a good long time since Giants fans have been able to attend a Monday Night Football Game, and it was a beautiful night. As an extra treat, it also included a halftime ceremony where members of the Giants Super Bowl XXI team were honored.
The offense started off looking real good, moving the ball downfield until Rams Quintin Mikell came up with a real big play. Cutting across the field, he snared a pass from Eli Manning meant for Mario Manningham. Rams quarterback Sam Bradford quickly showed off his skills under the Monday Night Football Lights. Starting at the Rams 14 yard line, he got his team down to the Giants 1 yard line using a no-huddle offense that nailed our defense with a 68-yard pass. Luckily they were able to dig in and hold the Rams to a fieldgoal.
The Giants offense went three-and-out, but got lucky when the Rams muffed a punt, and they got the ball back at the Rams 38 yard line. The Giants were able to convert on a fourth down and four and they soon cashed in with a 3 yard touchdown pass to Hakeem Nicks to put the score 7-3 in their favor.
The Rams came back with another fieldgoal, but the Giants stayed out in front with two more touchdowns to close out the half leading 21-6. That last touchdown came from a spectacular one handed catch by Domenik Hixon in the endzone. Unfortunately he seemed to be hurt on the play and Aaron Ross was returning punts after that. It was great seeing Justin Tuck back on the field this game. His mere presence fires up the other players and he was in the thick of things participating in 2 sacks. He was assisted on one by Jason Pierre Paul."

Game Notes:
"Not losing kept the Giants from being an overall 0-2 and 0-2 in the conference. The Rams own that distinction now. Coming into this game they were pretty beat up after playing the Eagles. Gone was their top cornerback Ron Bartell, out for the season with a broken neck, and their top running back, Steven Jackson, wasn't able to play. Cadillac Williams wasn't as productive as he was last week when he replaced Jackson. In fact he was partially responsible for costing his team 7 points when he watched Michael Boley pick up a backwards pass intended for him and score a 65-yard touchdown.
On the bad side, Mario Manningham left the game with a possible concussion and Domenik Hixon hurt his right leg while making an incredible touchdown catch. If you remember, he missed the entire 2010 season with a torn ACL in his right knee. It would be a shame if he misses more time this year. The Giants secondary showed that they still can be had. That will have to be fixed if they expect to be a contender. Next week the Giants travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles, who could be without Michael Vick because of the concussion he sustained in Sunday's game against Atlanta."
