Monday Night Football week 2

The Monday Night game featured the host New York Giants and the visiting St. Louis Rams. St. Louis opened with a 21 yard field goal from Josh Brown. New York took the lead away with Eli Manning and Hakeem Nicks' connection, a 3 yard touchdown capped off with a Lawrence Tynes extra point. Brown got three points back for the Rams with a 25 yard field goal. However, in the second quarter, that score was sabotaged by Sam Bradford's fumble, returned to the house by the Giants' Michael Boley, 65 yards for the touchdown. Tynes added the extra point here and on a 22 yard Manning touchdown pass to Domenik Hixon. The halftime score had New York up 21-6. Brown put another field goal up in the third, coming from 27 yards away. The Giants scored another touchdown, this time with Brandon Jacobs rushing 9 yards for the score, and Tynes making the PAT. St. Louis would pull slightly closer with Bradford helping out the Rams, finding Danario Alexander for 19 yards and a TD, and Brown made the extra point to put the score at 28-16 New York. This would be the final after a scoreless fourth quarter, and New York went to 1-1 while the Rams fell to 0-2.
