So much for that Rams defense. Odell Beckham Jr. caught two touchdown passes and and finished with 148 yards receiving against a defense that hadn’t allowed a TD in three straight games, leading the New York Giants to a 37-27 victory over the Rams on Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome.
Beckham also set a franchise rookie record with 11th touchdown catch, and went over 1,000 yards. Eli Manning was 25 for 32 for 391 yards and three touchdowns, rookie Andre Williams had 110 yards rushing on 26 carries in place of the injured Rashad Jennings.
Shaun Hill was 24 for 32 for 290 yards with TD passes to Lance Kendricks and Chris Givens in the second half. The Rams could never get closer than a touchdown. They trailed 20-13 at the half, following a 20 yard field goal by Greg Zuerlein. They also cut the lead 27-20 on the Kendricks touchdown.
