The Los Angeles Rams bounced back from their season-opening flop in Australia to score a stylish 28-6 victory over the New York Giants on Monday.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford returned to form with 327 passing yards and four touchdowns for Los Angeles as the Giants never recovered after suffering an early injury to signal-caller Jaxson Dart.

The Los Angeles Rams had Davante Adams, Trent McDuffie and Matthew Stafford, who looked like he did during his MVP season. They also had defensive tackle Aaron Donald back for the first time since the 2023 season. 

The Rams pounded the New York Giants, though New York hardly had a chance after quarterback Jaxson Dart left the game after one possession due to what is believed to be a sprained MCL.

The night started with Dart suffering that knee injury. Jameis Winston replaced him. Winston completed just 4 of 12 passes in the first half for 58 yards and threw a bad interception to McDuffie in Rams territory, which wasn’t a big surprise given the interception issues he has had through his career.

In the New York Jets’ 2026 home opener, on a dreary, cool and rainy day in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the Jets fell to the Green Bay Packers, 20 – 17.

The New York Jets thought they were headed to their first 2-0 record since the 2015 season.

But head coach Aaron Glenn’s team couldn’t hold on to a second-half lead Sunday afternoon and lost a heartbreaker to the Green Bay Packers in overtime.

Geno Smith was sacked on the first two plays of overtime, and the Jets had to punt on their first possession. It allowed the Packers to march down the field and win it with a 26-yard field goal.

The devastating loss brought the Jets’ record to 1-1. Now the Jets have to put the loss behind them and get ready for a difficult challenge as they prepare to go on the road to face the Detroit Lions next Sunday.

The New York Yankees officially clinched a 2026 MLB postseason berth on Monday night with an 8-3 comeback victory over the Minnesota Twins.

“You start back in February and the goal is to go play in October and go win a championship,” manager Aaron Boone said during an on-field interview with the YES Network. 

The Yankees’ third consecutive postseason berth and ninth in 10 years since Aaron Judge’s rookie season in 2017 became official in the eighth inning when the Tigers finished off a 6-5 win over the Jays.

After handshakes on the field, the Yankees excitedly headed to the visiting clubhouse to whoop it up by soaking everyone with champagne and beer.

“I feel like we’re in a good place, but we’ve got to keep playing well,” Boone said. We’ve just got to continue to take care of our business.”
