Last week: Rams beat Seahawks 26-17; Giants lost at Cowboys 44-20.

Rams player to watch: Matthew Stafford. Quarterbac­ks have been having a field day against the Giants this season, so Stafford might have another.

Giants player to watch: Kadarius Toney. First watch to see if the receiver starts. He was ejected last weekend for throwing a punch and coach Joe Judge may discipline him by not starting him.
