Eli Manning was 20 of 29 passing for three touchdowns as the New York Giants romped the St. Louis Rams 41-13 on Sunday.
• Giants are 2-0 for the first time since 2005 (they started 0-2 last season).
• Rams managed only 201 yards of total offense with Marc Bulger passing for 177 and a TD.
• Giants have won four straight in the series with St. Louis.
Anyone (me) who thought he Giants would take a step back this year after losing Michael Strahan, Jeremy Shockey, Gibril Wilson and Osi Umenyiora was dead wrong. Manning looks fantastic, Brandon Jacobs (93 yards rushing) is a beast and the defense has shown no ill effects of losing their top two defensive ends. And with Cincinnati and Seattle coming up the next two weeks, the G-Men could easily be 4-0 heading into their bye week.
The Chiefs and Dolphins deserve mention, but the Rams might be the worst team in the NFL. Getting Marc Bulger and Orlando Pace back in the offense should have helped them this year, but so far they haven’t meant much. But hey, at least rookie Chris Long recorded his first career sack.
